How have you been lately? Working hard or hardly working? There are many reasons to learn a new language: for leisure, traveling, studies, making new friends. But there is no denying that having a good command of the English language gives you a competitive advantage in the job market. I often ask my students: Do you need English for you job? How often do you speak English at work? Is communicating in English part of your job description? And that bears the question: when should we use job and when to use work? What\u2019s the difference between the two? In some languages, they might even have only a single translation for it. Well, and this is why today\u2019s post aims to focus on the meaning and usage of these two extremely relevant words to our professional lives.
