What you get
Go beyond “expensive” and “cheap.” This Upper-Intermediate ESL workbook equips students with the language to discuss personal finance, consumer habits, and financial planning in depth. Through interactive speaking activities, realistic listening tasks, grammar practice, and collaborative challenges, learners build fluency while tackling real-world financial situations.
Students build a practical vocabulary for navigating real-life financial conversations. From describing something as a "rip-off" or "good value" to discussing mortgages, lump-sum payments, and interest rates, they'll gain the language needed to express opinions, compare financial choices, and give money-related advice with confidence.
