Podcast cover

Business English from All Ears English

This co-hosted Business English podcast episode focuses on the informal phrase "big time" and its various uses in professional settings. The hosts discuss its meaning (to a great extent, significantly), its casual nature, and provide alternative, more formal phrasing like "significantly" or "in a major way." They illustrate usage through examples in different contexts (e.g., describing improved skills, a major asset, or reaching career success), including a role-play scenario in a startup environment. Listeners gain practical advice on using "big time" appropriately and learn alternative phrases for more formal situations, enhancing their business English communication skills.
