Business isn’t all business! In reality, business and pleasure mix. Are you prepared? Learn the best phrases to make social conversation with your associates. Equally important, find out which topics to avoid! You’ll also learn how to eliminate awkward silences, and how to make your clients or colleagues comfortable when speaking with them. Many business decisions and deals are made outside the office or meeting room. Whether you’re going for dinner with clients, or you’re on a business trip, watch this lesson to learn how to be confident in social situations!
The lesson has been made perfectly, Jade I’d like to ask you, what’s your date of birth? Sorry for such a question……

Dear Jade,
Communication skills is what really matters when using the foreign language in real life situations, business meetings are not the exception.
For instance, it is important to know how to get into a business conversation, keep the conversation going, and finally end it.
Being quite familiar with business jargon is a must, no doubt about it.
Many thanks for this interesting class Jade.
Have a great week!!!
Regino
Insightful commentary, thanks. :)

abhishek1995
Hey Jade, I’m so glad you joined EngVid ;). And you have a lovely accent ;).
And I have a question… well… maybe two – that depends – if it’s not a problem. It has nothing to do with business and these things, but I have no one to ask ;(. Well, maybe someone as well could answer, because these sentences are very important for me as learning English. I have to – or must, heh – know the mistakes I make in order not to make them in the future.
So, are these sentences gramatically correct?
1. After a while I had seen another man who was given something from the suspects.
2. I know I should have called the police, but instead I was just hiding there, hoping that someone I know would show up and take me out of that place.
Thanks in advance ;).

lovely lesson Jade
i think communication skills is really important not only in conversation business but also in real conversation.
when you in any conversation, the key thing is you need to be polite and choose words or topics out of the main thing to keep the conversation going smoothly and not weird.
and something more i want to mention is your knowledge is so important too coz imagining if you are a person who know things,it definitely give you the edges for your job.
thanks for everything Jade
All best to you
