What is jargon? Pt 2 Business Jargon

It is sometimes impossible to find clear Business English expression in corporate board rooms.

Jargon (as explained in a previous article) is used and abused very often.

How many times have you said "goal oriented?"

Has a colleague asked you to "buy into" the marketing plan or a change in business policy?

Forbes magazine has compiled a list of 45 "most annyoing terms of business jargon."

Enjoy!

What is jargon? Pt 1

Jargon is the specific vocabulary, peculiar to a particular trade, profession, or group.

Lawyers, doctors, mechanics, and yes, even teachers, have their own vocabuarly particular to their profession.

Business jargon - a very wide world of terms - is discussed in a later article.

In technology, for example, terms like "game-changing," "mission-critical," and "award-winning" are used throughout the industry.

Beware in using and abusing jargon though. Use it only with those in your particular industry because the rest of us will not have a clue what you are talking about, usually.

Other world languages, including Spanish, have "loaned"!  words to English.

Sometimes, the words have the same pronunciation like mosquito.

4 Ways to Increase Your English Vocabulary!

You already know a strong vocabulary helps you think and express yourself in English and get a better job.

How do you get a better English vocabulary?

1. Set aside some time to study for vocabulary.
Learning vocabulary is no different than other subjects. You have to devote time to acquire new words, study them, and memorize them.

2. Make a simple flash card (with word on one side and definition on the other side).
Take the cards with you wherever you go. When you have extra time, study the cards.

3. Test yourself on those cards. Make a goal of memorizing 10 words a day.
Commit yourself to 10 words. Do not try to learn more because you may get confused.

4. Read, read, and read! Reading is a great way to increase vocabulary.
Read newspapers, magazines, or books online.

Get a strong English vocabulary!

You are judged by the words you use.

When you learn any language, you need to know the words to be able to express yourself.

Plus, if you have trouble reading English, it probably is because of a weak vocabulary.

What is vocabulary?
Vocabulary is being able to produce and receive words and their meaning.

Reading and a good vocabulary are closely linked.

Good readers read more often, become better readers, and learn more vocabulary words.

So, you should read to increase your vocabulary.

3 Reasons to Get a Strong English Vocabulary

1. Use the right word
A good vocabulary is not using big words to impress. Instead, you want to use the right word depending on the context. The more words you know it is easier to choose the best word to express your thoughts.

2. Have an open mind
More words open new parts of the world. You are able to get new insights on old and new problems. When you have less words, you limit your understanding of the world.

3. Increase your vocabulary, increase your career options
It's inescapable. A strong vocabulary helps you get a good job. A strong English vocabulary will help you get the job you want. It is essential for you to think and communicate in English and a good English vocabulary helps you do both.

Recap
Are you really serious about learning English and getting the job you want?
