SPEAK LIKE AN AMERICAN: Show Me the Money
Idioms for Business, Work & Getting Paid

Do you understand English—but still feel lost when people talk about business, money, or work?

You’re not alone.

Many English learners can read textbooks and understand grammar perfectly, but struggle when native speakers start using real workplace and financial language.

Because in real life, Americans don’t always speak in formal business English.

They use idioms.

They use shortcuts.

They use expressions that carry meaning far beyond the literal words.

You may hear phrases like:

• “Show me the money”
• “Cut corners”
• “Break even”
• “Cash cow”
• “Call the shots”
• “Bring home the bacon”
• “In the red / in the black”

If you don’t understand these expressions, you don’t fully understand the conversation.

That is exactly why this book exists.

SPEAK LIKE AN AMERICAN: Show Me the Money is a powerful and practical collection of 470 authentic American English idioms focused entirely on one of the most important areas of real-life communication:

Business, Work & Getting Paid

This is Volume 2 of the Speak Like an American multi-vloume series, designed to help English learners move beyond textbook English and understand how professionals, employees, entrepreneurs, and native speakers actually communicate in real situations.
