Why is English vocabulary so important in the professional world?
English remains the international language of business. According to France Compétences, English tests are the most sought-after language certifications by French professionals. Knowing how to express yourself with ease and precision during meetings, presentations, or calls with foreign colleagues often makes the difference. A varied vocabulary not only allows for better understanding but also ensures you are better understood, while affirming your credibility.
At Susie's Company, we tailor our English courses to your specific professional needs. With our conversational and supportive approach, each session aims to expand your lexical field and enhance your oral fluency.
The 10 essential English words to know
Here is our friendly selection of the 10 key words to improve your English vocabulary in a professional context:
- Meeting: The classic, but essential! “Meeting” refers to a meeting, formal or informal. Example: “Let’s schedule a meeting next week.”
- Deadline: This “due date” often comes up in all sectors. Managing deadlines means managing your partners' trust.
- Feedback: Feedback is at the heart of modern management. Dare to ask for or give feedback!
- Networking: Networking means developing your professional circle. Knowing how to talk about “networking” is an essential asset for entrepreneurs.
- Pitch: Presenting an idea, project, or company concisely is the famous “pitch”!
- Budget: Setting, tracking, or adjusting a budget is a universal term to handle in all your projects.
- Growth: Growth, whether personal or that of your company, is referred to as “growth.”
- Skills: Talking about your “skills” highlights your competencies.
- KPI (Key Performance Indicator): “Key performance indicators” are used to drive your results.
- Challenge: A challenge, but also a great opportunity to learn!

Tips for integrating these words into your professional conversations
Learning a word is good, using it naturally is better! We recommend placing these words during your daily conversations, whether in an email, a call, or an informal meeting. For example, suggest a “meeting” instead of a “réunion,” or ask for feedback at the end of a project.
Our private English courses via video are designed to help you practice these words in realistic situations. With the support of a native teacher, you gain fluency and confidence while adapting your vocabulary to your specific needs.
The key role of conversational English in learning
Conversational English is the key to effective and enjoyable learning. According to a study by France Stratégie, regular and contextualized practice of a language promotes its memorization and spontaneous use. That’s why at Susie's Company, we emphasize situational practice: role plays, meeting simulations, or discussions on topics that interest you.
