Business English Breakdown: Eurozone Business News

In our Business English Breakdown weekly series, we look at business news from China, and either Brazil, the European Union, or Japan.

I examine the news article for three (3) key phrases to pre-teach vocabulary that you may not know. So, when you read the article, you will better understand it!

Business English Class Notes:

Now you should be able to read the article and understand it better. 

I encourage you to read busines news written for native English speakers every day to boost your vocabulary. 

Join me every Saturday for a different business headline, either from Brazil, the EU, or Japan. Therefore, it is a rotating headline. The China Business article stays on Thursdays.

Thank you and Happy Business English Learning!
