This reference work compiles essential English and German business phrases, drawn from decades of practical instruction in international commerce. Winfried Honig began collecting these terms in the nineteen seventies to support students and professionals dealing with specialized industry language. The material bridges standard business communication and technical legal or financial phrasing, providing parallel terminology for English and German speakers. The text features indexed sequential word lists and numerous practical examples of trade expressions.
These lists cover diverse branches of commerce, offering specific vocabulary for shipping, banking, contracts, and general corporate administration. Rather than teaching grammar from scratch, the dictionary delivers precise equivalents for transactional terminology. The author's long career in multimedia instruction and business English training shaped the selection of phrases. The volume serves as a comprehensive bridge for translators, commercial correspondents, and executives operating across language barriers.
