Everyday English with Erika & Elizabeth
By Professional English Solutions
Everyday English with Erika & Elizabeth is the podcast series that explores how native English speakers use the language in everyday settings.
Whether in work or social settings, everyday English can be challenging for non-native English speakers. The English language is full of colloquial terms, phrasal verbs and idiomatic expressions. It is important for professionals who are interacting with native speakers to understand such terms. Although everyday English is not as formal as professional or academic English, it is commonly used in the workplace.
In this series, Erika McClane and Elizabeth Mc Donnell of Professional English Solutions explore some of the challenges that learners of English have, and they offer pointers on understanding everyday English.
