Beat Business Jargon from Monster Career Advice:

"The project manager says: 'Let's take this offline and drill down to the core value-added proposition. This customer needs a turnkey solution to improve its ROI. We're talking about sea-level change. Ping me later, OK? We'll do a brain dump.'"

The title of the article is "Beat Business Jargon, a Veteran Bullfighter's Tips"... Do you see what they mean?

Lesson 3

Just a little summary of our last lesson:

In the beginning of the lesson we watched an excerpt of the movie "What women want" (be careful with the pronunciation!). This extract was divided into two parts. In the first part, Nick the main actor, talks with his boss who was at a board meeting just before.

VOC POINTS:
board meeting = council that administers the company (=conseil d'administration)
a boarding house = a place where you can eat and sleep

(snip..snip)

(james moved the rest of this post to the class writeboard... please see the full version of our class minutes there... Thank you Laure and Jon for a job well done!)
