There are so many things we need to keep in mind when negotiating in our second language! Idiomatic expressions, building rapport, managing emotions, choosing questions to be more or less direct, more or less persuasive \u2013 in short, there is so much space to practice and to grow \u2013 regardless of our General English Level. For this reason, we propose a series of conversations (each one is standalone and not connected to the following Conversation Club sessions) that belong to the world of Negotiation. Here&#8217;s one of these sessions, today we&#8217;re focusing on Business Contract Negotiation.
