Business English

Practise the English you need at work.

A meeting moves quickly when you are still searching for the right words. Rehearse the situation first: explain an update, ask for clarification or introduce yourself to a new colleague.

Talkexa: English conversation with a labelled Tap to speak button

By the Talkexa team · Updated

What Talkexa helps you practise

Talkexa is an iPhone app for English conversation with an AI partner. Rehearse a workplace situation by voice or text, then end the session to review grammar, vocabulary and phrasing. Free access includes 5 minutes on day one and 3 minutes daily afterwards.

Start with a situation from your working day

Give your AI tutor a role and a clear task. You might ask it to act as a colleague asking about a project, or a customer who needs a simple explanation. Use a fictional project and invented names so you can focus on your English without sharing confidential work.

  • Project update: what is done, what is next and where you need help.
  • Meeting: ask someone to clarify a deadline or explain a decision.
  • Small talk: introduce yourself and ask about a colleague’s role.

Three prompts you can try today

“Act as a colleague. Ask me for a short project update, then ask one follow-up question at a time.”

“Let us practise a meeting. Explain a change to a deadline and let me ask for clarification.”

“I am meeting a new teammate. Help me practise introducing my role in simple English.”

Make a short answer clearer

Try this answer aloud: “We finished the first draft. We are checking the details today. I need your feedback by Thursday.” It gives your listener progress, a next step and a request. Then change the example to a fictional situation you understand well.

You do not need to fill a conversation with complicated business vocabulary. Ask your tutor for a simpler version when a reply feels too formal. Repeat the useful sentence using your own details.

A language example from the app

One demo conversation includes “I work in marketing since three years.” The suggested version is “I’ve worked in marketing for three years.” Use “for” with a duration such as three years. Review the suggested wording, then try a sentence about your own work.

Turn feedback into your next attempt

End your Talkexa session and read the grammar, vocabulary and phrasing feedback. Pick one change to use in your next conversation. Free accounts can revisit their latest session; paid plans include full conversation history.

Talkexa provides conversation practice rather than a structured business qualification. AI suggestions can be imperfect; use your own judgment about workplace tone and factual accuracy.

A short workplace practice routine

  1. Set the scene

    Choose English and your level. Tell the tutor which workplace situation and role you want to rehearse.

  2. Give one short answer

    Speak or type an update with a result, a next step and a question.

  3. Handle a follow-up

    Listen to the reply. Ask for clarification if you do not understand.

  4. Review one sentence

    Open your session feedback and practise one improved sentence in your next session.
