It can be difficult to ask for help or support at work in English, especially if English is your second language. However, we all need advice and assistance sometimes, so let's practice speaking about this difficult topic. In this Business English class and lesson we'll look at how to ask your colleagues and your managers for help, how to thank people for their help, and how to decide who is the best person to ask for help. We'll hear some natural and native vocabulary that you can use in these situations, including some phrasal verbs and idioms, and we'll finish off with a quiz and a challenge to get you speaking.

The international English speakers I coach and tutor every day tell me that it can be difficult to ask for help at work. If you're new to a job, role, or position, then you might need more help than someone who is a little more experienced. Learning about and understanding the best ways to talk to your colleagues about things that you find difficult, the challenges you have at work, and how they can help you to overcome them is an important skill in growing as a professional. After today's podcast I hope you will be a little more confident in doing this.
