Taking vacations and holidays is a great break from professional life. However, talking about these to your colleagues and agreeing these with your managers in English can be challenging. Especially if you speak English at work as a second language. Today we'll discuss the vocabulary, grammar, and phrases that we need to arrange our holidays. We'll look at the differences between American and British English when speaking about these things, and we'll talk about emails and email etiquette when going on vacation.

Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really useful.

This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.

Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.

Today's examples:

I’ve put in for a couple of weeks at the end of June.

I’ve submitted a leave request, I’m just waiting for the management team to sign off on it.

I’ve got a few days of annual leave left for the year but I think I'll just roll them over.

I’ll be out of the office until the first Monday in April.

I’m on annual leave next week. If you have any urgent requests then Jane will be covering for me so feel free to contact her and I’ll ensure we have a full handover before I go.

Just to give everyone advanced notice, I’ll be unavailable for the next couple of weeks, and will get to any emails when I’m back at my desk.
