Recently a lot of my clients have wanted to practice how to give brief project updates so I am going to share with you 4 examples of how you can do this including when things are going really well and when things are not going so well! By the way, I completely appreciate that I am a native speaker so for me it is easier to say things faster. The idea of this is not to pressure you into speaking very quickly or make you feel inadequate if you can't say these things in 20 seconds...it is just to give you some practical ideas that you can use yourself. As always I share you little tips and guidance about common mistakes and some vocab that no other students use that will make you stand out!Enjoy! Love the podcast?
