In today’s Business English podcast we are going to look at computers. PCs and laptops are part of our lives today, but many of us aren’t really sure what is meant by GHz, MB, GB, FSB, so in the lesson, we are going to listen as Christy explains what some of these terms actually mean, how to pronounce them, and how they affect the performance of David’s new computer!

4. Sorry Stanley, but it’s an Advanced lesson about describing computers - we pretty much had to have tech terms in there. Fortunately, the vast majority of our other lessons are more general so you can use the vocabulary in many situations.

   Thanks for the feedback though - good to hear what everone thinks.
