Hi, my name is Enzo and today I have created a glossary with terms that you must know in my field of study. I am studying Business Management at Ahuntsic College. I have been in this program for three years now. Every terms that you will see in my glossary have been found in my English book called Actively Engaged Online by Nicholas Walker. It has 20 terms and I hope it will be useful if you decide to go in the same field of study as me. All definitions are written in the book and some of them have been found on Wikipedia. If you want, you can play a card game after. It will help you practice and remember correctly all of those new terms. Enjoy!
