  • And we help you with pronunciation, grammar, and of course, expressions, idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, whatever it takes, we're there to help you.

  • Okay, so what are we going to look at in the podcast today?

  • Well, we're going to talk in some ways about finance, and indeed, we're going to talk about personal finance.

  • So we're going to focus on personal finance vocabulary, co location.

  • Personal finance vocabulary, co location.

  • So what does that mean?

  • Well, it means words connected with personal finance and money talks.

  • Yeah, that's what we have an expression we use in English, money talks.

  • And of course, people like to talk about money as well.

  • Yeah.

  • Okay, so we're going to use some expressions that you might hear if you're talking or listening or reading about personal financial matters.

  • So as always, I'm going to go through these one by one, and then I'll give you some examples.

  • And at the end of this particular podcast, I'll give you my contact details.
