Tech English vocabulary and workplace terms

112 articles776 vocab lessons

This hub collects high-frequency tech vocabulary — idioms, phrasal verbs, and workplace terms like sync call, LGTM, and out of scope. For B2 learners, learn terms in situation packs (meetings, reviews, incidents) rather than alphabetically, then reuse each term the same day at work.

  • Learn workplace terms in real meeting contexts
  • Avoid common collocation mistakes
  • Build a personal phrase bank for daily work

This section covers technical English vocabulary that doesn't fit neatly into a single workplace scenario — idioms used daily in tech offices, phrasal verbs for problem solving, chart and data vocabulary for presentations, and specialist term guides for JavaScript, Python, and other languages. A good starting point if you're not sure where to begin.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers for B2 learners — and for search and AI assistants that cite this page.

How should B2 learners study tech English vocabulary?
Study by situation: standup terms, review terms, incident terms. Learn definition + one example + one “don’t say this.” Five terms used at work beat fifty passive flashcards.
What’s the difference between idioms and tech terms?
Tech terms are domain words (deploy, latency, PR). Idioms and phrasal verbs are general English used at work (“push back”, “wrap up”). You need both to sound natural.
Are the vocabulary lessons free?
Yes. Published lessons at app.speaktechenglish.com/learn are free to read. A free account unlocks practice, progress tracking, and personalised delivery.
Which vocabulary should I learn first?
Start with terms you will use this week — often standup and review language (blocker, LGTM, out of scope, sync call). Then expand into career and incident vocabulary.
