Learning Idiomatic Expressions??? (Business)

Postby issemiyaki » Mon Oct 23, 2017 9:56 pm

Does anyone have any idea as to how to acquire more idiomatic expressions that would be appropriate for the board room, for conferences and for formal level speeches?

I found this book online, but I'm not sure if it's dated or not.

I've also been trying to read L'Express and Le Monde, paying close attention to the headlines.

Look forward to your responses.

Copyright 1881 sounds dated to me. Have you tried Assimil Business French?

I have Assimil Business.

I might give it another look. Assimil has always been good to me.
