Lesson goals

By the end you will…

  • Adapt your communication style across high-context and low-context cultures without stereotyping.
  • Use UNCOUNTABLE and PLURAL-ONLY nouns correctly (feedback, information, staff, headquarters, people) — no 'a feedback', no 'an advice'.
  • Build business jargon with common PREFIXES (over-, under-, mis-, re-, dis-, cross-) and SUFFIXES (-able, -ise, -ity, -ness).
