THIS IS AN ANNA WITH 2Ns EPISODE BEFORE I REBRANDED TO CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH. I RECOMMEND STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT CONFIDENT BUSINESS ENGLISH EPISODES.Acronyms are a business person's best friend. They save us time so that we don't have to say all the tricky words, which can be handy from an English learner point of view.We use them in writing and also in speaking however there are two important things to take into account. 1) Is the acronym spoken? Not always. 2) How do we say the acronym? Sometimes we say it together and sometimes we say the letters individually. There are also rather frequent mistakes to avoid that are common for Spanish speakers.I go through a selection of the most common business acronyms and answer those two questions for you. Here are the main ones we are going to talk about so that you can follow:ASAP, KPI, FYI, COB/COP, EOD, ETA, WFH, SEO, CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, CTO, ROI, NGO, SWOT.I hope it's useful!
