Academic and business language: impersonal constructions and hedging
Everything you need to write and speak the way a careful report or study actually does, in one path. Start with the three devices academic and professional Serbian layers on top of register-shifting-c2's own bureaucratic vocabulary - impersonal and passive constructions, hedging language, and a fixed set of discourse connectives - then learn the vocabulary of results, data and conclusions, take seven guided lessons that build from each device's own words to correcting the traps a learner makes, listen to a journalist interview a company analyst about the annual report, read a short study's own hedged findings, write an opinion essay about a media scandal reaching for at least one impersonal construction or hedge, and finally give your own hedged opinion on whether remote work really works.
