BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH IN BUSINESS

In business English, it’s often not enough to know individual words. You need to be able to explain an idea, clarify an offer, describe a problem, respond during a meeting, or cope when the right word suddenly ‘slips your mind’.

BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH IN BUSINESS helps you practise precisely this practical aspect of the language. It’s a game similar to ‘Taboo’, in which participants describe business-related concepts but are not allowed to use certain banned words. This encourages them to think more flexibly in English, find alternative ways to express the same idea, and speak more fluently even when they don’t have the perfect phrase to hand.

The game is ideal for developing the vocabulary needed at work: during negotiations, sales, presenting proposals, conversations with clients, team meetings or everyday professional communication. Participants do not learn vocabulary in isolation from real-life situations — they use it straight away in practice, under time pressure and with a specific goal in mind.

It’s an excellent choice for anyone who wants to speak English at work with greater confidence, ease and naturalness. It’s ideal for business English courses, language training, in-house corporate sessions, conversation classes, and as an engaging way to revise vocabulary, either individually or in a group.

BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH IN BUSINESS turns business English learning into lively communication. Instead of passively memorising lists of phrases, participants describe, explain, improvise, react and try to convey their meaning in a way that others can understand. And it is precisely this skill that often determines whether English really works in professional situations.
