Author Natasha V. Broody has written a book which aims to help learners of English find the right tone in their speaking and writing. She lays out a style guide with theory, practical tips and a glossary of defined vocabulary at the back. In English, the general tone is often quite friendly but indirect and polite - this can sometimes cause problems for speakers coming from different places where codes of politeness or professionalism are different. Let's meet Natasha Broody to find out some of those practical tips for tasteful language that are promised in her book. And I will talk to you a little bit more at the end of the episode at theend of this conversation.
