Appropriately enough, we&#8217;re kicking off with a 925 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/925-english\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">English lesson<\/a> on how to greet and say hello to colleagues and customers in English.<\/p>\n<p>925English a new business English series for beginners (CEFR A1-A2) and lower intermediate (B1) English learners. 925 English lessons focus on chunks of language and English expressions that you can use in work and business. We get straight to the point with lots of examples. We give you phrases you can say in different situations and advice on why and how to use them. <\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s pretty easy to greet someone in English, isn&#8217;t it? We can say \u201cgood morning\u201d or \u201chello\u201d or just \u201chi.\u201d And we might add something like \u201cmy name is Tim Smith,\u201d or a question like \u201chow&#8217;s it going?\u201d But what&#8217;s the difference? How do we choose which greeting to use? Well, in business, like in life, it depends on the situation. That includes who we&#8217;re talking to and where we&#8217;re having the conversation. So let&#8217;s go through three situations and practice some appropriate ways of saying hello.<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Members: <a
