À propos de ce fichier

This flashcard set helps university-level learners master English vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, focusing on business and academic terms. Examples include "predecessor" (the person who held a position before you), "postpone" (to delay), and "perks" (fringe benefits). The platform supports backward learning, allowing users to switch between English and their native language. Ideal for students and professionals aiming to enhance their fluency and communication skills, this set is particularly useful for those at an advanced level seeking to refine their vocabulary and idiomatic usage.
