Do you have discussions in English at work? Do you often feel you’re language is somehow limited to a few phrases? Then this post might just give you a helping hand to take up a few more and to help you widen and vary your language. Get the full list here: https://teatimetitbits.de/download/how-to-agree-and-disagree/ .
