What this lesson trains
Make these phrases automatic: “Hi, I'm Anna from the marketing team.”, “I recently joined the company.”, “I'm based in the Singapore office.”, “I look forward to working with you all.”.
Language in focus: Present simple for your role (“I work on…,” “My role is to…”) and team/location phrases.
Own this workplace vocabulary: team, role, based in, industry, project.
Copy the polite, professional tone on lines like “I look forward to working with you all.” — at work, tone matters as much as words.
