Learn English with short audio lessons and podcasts. Ever join a meeting and feel like people are speaking English… but it still makes no sense? Welcome to the “secret code” of office life. One small step today — one confident workday tomorrow. In this episode of English Steps, Sam and Alex break down survival English for the office — the everyday phrases and business jargon you’ll hear in meetings, on Zoom, and in a modern 9-to-5 job. We decode the language, explain the culture behind it, and help you sound more confident (without memorizing boring word lists). What you will learn in this video: • What “jargon” really means — and why offices love it • “9-to-5” (why it’s not always about the literal hours) • “Commute” — the word everyone uses for small talk at work • “Clock in / clock out” and “on the clock / off the clock” • Meeting survival phrases: “schedule” vs “reschedule” • The super-useful idiom “I’m tied up” (busy in a way you can’t escape) • Pronunciation tip: schedule (US vs UK) Timestamps: 0:00 — Welcome to English Steps 0:50 — What office jargon is (and why it feels like a secret code) 3:20 — “9-to-5” meaning and culture 5:40 — “Commute” and office small talk 7:30 — “Clock in / clock out” and “on the clock” 9:50 — Meetings: “schedule” and pronunciation 11:30 — “Reschedule” and polite office language 12:30 — “I’m tied up” (meaning and how to use it) 14:00 — Pop Quiz Question of the day: What office phrase confuses you the most — “circle back”, “touch base”, or something else?
