The Business Emporium Mission
Statement:
This site is devoted to ESL Business English (at intermediate and
advanced levels) and Business Principles taught creatively and
professionally. There's just so much lingo, buzzwords, and fads
in the the business world that it almost seems a language all to
itself. I hope to create exercises with a touch of humor (so much so
that I toyed with the idea of calling the site Funny business).
Seriously though, there is quite a lot of business concepts embedded in
the lessons and quizzes that Business Emporium may be of interest to
native English speakers as well.
Sincerely
Chris Yukna
