Send us Fan Mail Artificial intelligence is appearing in every English speaking workplace these days and talking about AI with your colleagues and managers is something that is important. Today let's discuss some professional English vocabulary that we can use to sound natural and native when talking about AI at work, including some phrasal verbs and idioms that we can use to discuss our ideas. We talk about how to give your opinions on AI tools like Chat GPT, Microsoft CoPilot, Google Gemini, and Deepseek. We also discuss how to explain how you are currently using artificial intelligence in your working day and how to sound more natural and native when giving your opinions on the future, in English. Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really useful. This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast. Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.
