- 2. Talking about Money Talking about money is inevitable - we compare prices on clothes and furniture, discuss purchases we’ve made, brag about bargains we’ve found, commiserate when we spend a fortune on car repairs, ask about borrowing and paying off debts, discuss how best to save money for the future, and so on. This unit introduces you to money-related signs so you can discuss financial topics with others.
- 3. Talking about Money This is a semantics (vocabulary) unit. Since we live in and are all part of the American economy, we naturally develop signs to match the words that are commonly used to talk about finances - words like deposit, withdrawal, loan, interest, paid off, bounced check, investment, and dividends. However, not all signs mean exactly the same as their English counterparts. You will learn when and how to use these money signs appropriately.
