Today’s expression: KEEP SOMEONE IN THE LOOP
Meaning: To make sure someone continues to receive important information and knows what is happening with a situation, decision, or project.
Example: You can deal directly with the client while I’m away, but please keep me in the loop. I don’t need to be involved in every conversation, but I’d like to know about any important decisions, problems, or changes to the schedule.

02/09/2026

Today’s expression: BE UP TO SPEED
Meaning: To have all the latest information or knowledge you need about a subject, situation, or project.
Example: I was away from the office for two weeks, so I’m not completely up to speed on the project yet. Could you tell me what was decided at the last meeting, what the client asked for, and whether there have been any important changes?

Today’s expression: GET THE BALL ROLLING
Meaning: To start an activity, project, or process so that things begin to happen and progress can be made.
Example: We don’t have all the details of the new project yet, but we already know enough to get the ball rolling. Let’s arrange the first meeting, decide who will be responsible for each area, and start working on the initial proposal.

Today’s work expression: HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE
Meaning: To have many tasks, responsibilities, or problems to deal with at the same time, leaving you very busy.
Example: I’d normally be happy to help with the new project, but I have a lot on my plate at the moment. I’m preparing two presentations, training a new employee, and trying to finish the monthly report before Friday.

What does your team need to be able to do this year?
Not simply:
“We need 40 hours of English.”

But:
Do they need to lead meetings?
Speak to clients?
Give presentations?
Work with colleagues abroad?
Negotiate?
Write more confidently?

And in which language?
English? German? French? Italian? Spanish? Catalan?

Effective language training shouldn't begin with:
“How many hours do you want?”

It should begin with:
“What do your people need to be able to do?”
That's the conversation we'd rather have.
Amiable Language Services - Language training built around the people who actually use it.

January gets all the publicity.
But September is when many of us really start again.
New schedules.
New projects.
New objectives.
New teams.
New challenges.

And perhaps... a language you've been meaning to improve for rather too long. 😉

Whether it's English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Catalan, September is a pretty good time to start.

What do you actually need to DO in another language?
Participate confidently in meetings?
Give presentations?
Negotiate?
Write clearer emails?
Speak to international clients?
Stop translating everything in your head before you speak?

Learning a language for work isn't just about learning vocabulary and grammar.
It's about being able to do your job in that language.
That's where the training should start.

Amiable Language Services: Professional language training built around real needs.

English gets a lot of attention around here.
But it doesn't get ALL the attention.
At Amiable Language Services, we provide professional language training in:
English
German
French
Italian
Spanish for foreigners
Catalan

Because the language your company needs depends on who you need to talk to.
Different people. Different objectives. Different languages.
One Amiable.

First international meeting after the holidays:
Brain: I know this word.
Brain: I have used this word approximately 4,000 times.
Brain: This word no longer exists.
You: “The... um... thing... for the... other thing.” 😳
Sound familiar?
Don't panic. Your language hasn't disappeared.
It's just taking the scenic route home. 😂

Back to work means back to meetings, emails and calls — and, for many of us, back to English.
Here are 5 phrases you may need during your first week:

• Could you bring me up to speed?
• Where did we leave this?
• Let me get back to you on that.
• Shall we schedule a call?
• I'll follow up by email.

Your English might feel a little rusty after the holidays.
Don't worry. It comes back.
And if it needs a little help, that's what we're here for. 😉
