Welcome to Slow English Daily, the podcast where you learn English by listening to slow, clear and simple spoken English. This is episode fourteen, and today we talk about writing emails and messages in English.

You will learn how to choose the right greeting, what to write in your first sentence (and why "How are you?" is the wrong opening for a work email), how to make a request politely, how to follow up when nobody answers, how to say no and how to complain in writing, how to finish an email, and how casual WhatsApp messages are different.

Key phrases from this episode: I'm writing to ask about... Would it be possible to...? I'd be grateful if you could... I'm just following up on my email from last week. Unfortunately, I won't be able to... I look forward to hearing from you. Are we still on for Saturday? No worries.

This is English listening practice for ESL and EFL learners at A2 and B1 level. Everything is spoken slowly, in simple words, with no difficult grammar. New episodes every week.
