Welcome to episode #85 of The Real Life English with Gabby Podcast. In today's episode, I'm teaching you all about negotiating, persuading and convincing.

In real life, you don't always get what you want, and neither does the person you're talking to. Whether you're negotiating a price, discussing responsibilities at work, trying to convince a friend, or simply standing up for your opinion, knowing how to communicate confidently is a huge part of speaking natural English. In Part 1 of this two-part series on negotiating, persuading, and convincing, you'll learn 15 useful phrasal verbs, idioms, and slang expressions that Americans use in real conversations. You'll hear vocabulary like: 

  •  lowball someone
  • hold out for
  • stand your ground 
  • and I'm not buying it


You'll hear this vocabulary naturally in a story about a corporate team preparing for a negotiation with a tough opponent.

And don't just listen and forget!
