  And welcome back to my podcast where I try to help you to get a better understanding of English so that you can communicate in a more effective way when you meet people, either for business or in a social capacity.

• 00:22

  And I help you through the grammar, idioms, phrases, expressions, lots of other aspects of the english language, hopefully in an enjoyable way.

• 00:31

  Okay, so what do I have for you in this particular podcast?

• 00:34

  Well, what we're going to take a look at are some phrases, and in particular, we're going to look at negotiation phrases.

• 00:41

  Negotiation phrases.

• 00:43

  So we're going to look at them in a few different ways.

• 00:46

  Four different headings.

• 00:48

  How to make a proposal, phrases for compromising, accepting a negotiation proposal and objecting to a proposal.

• 00:59

  And then in each of those, I'll give you a number of options.

• 01:03

  So let's first of all look at making a proposal.

• 01:07

  So here we're going to look at three particular aspects.

  We'd like to propose that.

• 01:13

  So, very simple, we'd like to propose that the next meeting is held in your offices so that we can look at your operation.

• 01:22

  Okay?

• 01:23

  We'd like to propose that the contract is renegotiated after two years.

• 01:30

  Okay, simple request.

• 01:32

  Or we propose, or we suggest that this contract is reviewed or negotiated, or looked at again in detail in two years.

  So we propose or we suggest that.
