Episode Phrasal Verbs for the Office: 5 Expressions Every English Learner Needs (Phrasal Verb Series, Part 1)

0:00 5:08

Starting a new mini-series today: phrasal verbs, topic by topic. First stop, the office. If you've ever felt confused because a phrasal verb's meaning has nothing to do with its individual words, you're not alone — English does this on purpose sometimes, and this episode breaks down exactly why.

Hosted by Amber, a native English speaker from Australia and experienced English teacher recording every episode herself — not AI-generated audio — English Snacks delivers bite-sized lessons designed specifically for intermediate (B1–B2) learners around the world. In this episode, we cover five essential business English phrasal verbs you can use in an email or meeting today: get started on, bring up, touch base, follow up, and sort out. Along the way we also look at take on, run it by, push back, and bring forward — real expressions from real workplace English, explained simply and shadowed sentence by sentence so you can practise your pronunciation and natural spoken English rhythm.

Whether you're preparing for a job interview, writing professional emails, or just want to sound more natural in an English-speaking office, this episode gives you practical, ready-to-use business English vocabulary straight from a real native speaker and teacher — not a synthetic voice. Shadow along with each example, then try dropping one phrasal verb into your own email this week.

Next time: we leave the office behind for phrasal verbs you'll use in your everyday routine.
