Hello to everybody!
I'm very glad that this forum exists, it gives a hope that somebody could help me
This fall I start my study. It'll be in English.
I have a list of literature recommended by professors for better preparation to study. I found one of these books in a library but the problem is that even my good English isn't enough to read it This book is a real nightmare for me (it's called "Principles of Corporate Finance") because I can't catch the sense and feel very stupid
My problem is obvious, I have a lack of business English vocabulary.
May be somebody knows a good book or better Internet site where I can find smth to improve my vocabulary in this subject? Ideal variant would be to find smth like a special Business English course.
All books that I have found were about smth like Business communication (how to arrange meeting, to answer a phone call etc). This I definetely don't need.
So I'd be very grateful, if you could help me to find smth really good and informative to read this awful book which consists of 1300 pages
Thank you in advance
Olga
P.S. In order to avoid advice "just take a dictionary and read the book with the help of it" I would like to add that it won't really help because I want to study business vocabulary not only for reading this book but also for my further study.
P.P.S. Hope my text wasn't too mussy for understanding

It would be my first advice if hadn▓t warned┘
Another option could be to go to the library, to look through other books on the same subject and to choose a book consisting of 200 or 300 pages
Even if there▓s no guarantee that it would contain less challenging vocabulary (although it could be the case as well), it would certainly be easier to read. Those authors who can cover the same subject using fewer pages usually express the same ideas and principles more understandable.
Good luck!
PS These ones, for example, would be easier to read I guess
The corporate finance handbook / Jonathan Reuvid (326 pages)
Corporate finance : principles & practice / Denzil Watson and Antony Head (492 pages)

I▓m not sure that there are Business English courses for students outside of the University. After all, universities are supposed to give the knowledge.
Besides, are you sure that the language is the main problem? If you haven▓t studied corporate finance in any language yet, you just don▓t know what the terms mean. Perhaps your professors will explain everything when studies begin
