This isn\u2019t just true on an individual level. It\u2019s also true on an organizational level. Two companies, if well matched, can accomplish more together than they can alone. <\/p>\n<p>But successful partnerships aren\u2019t developed overnight. There\u2019s a lot that goes into building a relationship, exploring possibilities, and coming to terms on an agreement. And in today\u2019s lesson, we\u2019ll hear a conversation about a new partnership that has taken a lot of time and discussion to develop. In the conversation, you\u2019ll hear many useful expressions that we call \u201ccollocations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collocations are simply words that go together naturally. A second ago I talked about \u201cbuilding a relationship.\u201d That\u2019s a collocation. The verb \u201cbuild\u201d goes together with \u201crelationship\u201d very naturally. Native English speakers learn these combinations over time, by hearing them over and over again. As a language learner, it\u2019s useful to study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/english-collocations\/\" title=\"Business English collocations\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">English collocations<\/a> so you can sound more natural. <\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s dialog, we\u2019ll hear Carlos and Miranda talking with a business consultant named Rolland. Carlos and Miranda\u2019s company, Pineview Wines, is about to enter into a new partnership with Visser Hotels. In their conversation they use many English collocations for talking about partnerships.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhat does Rolland call the partnership at the start of the conversation?<br \/>\n2.\tWhat has a lawyer helped Pineview Wines do?<br \/>\n3.\tWhile benefiting from close collaboration, what do Carlos and Miranda want to maintain?<br \/>\n\u2003<br
