About BizLinga

BizLinga makes workplace English and business vocabulary easier to understand before your first internship, job, or professional meeting.

Why BizLinga exists

Zaharia "Harry" Stahl started working on BizLinga at 16 after listening to business calls and realizing how many words sounded like a different language. Terms that were routine to experienced professionals were unfamiliar to someone preparing for a first internship or job.

That experience exposed a practical gap: students can study a subject without learning the language people use to discuss the work. BizLinga was created to make that language understandable before the first interview, meeting, assignment, or deadline.

What BizLinga does

The BizLinga app organizes real workplace language by business function and industry. Learners build confidence through structured units, flashcards, interactive questions, and visible progress tracking.

Learners can start with the area that matches their goals, study terms in context, check their understanding, and return to the material as they build confidence. The focus is recognition and practical use, not memorizing complicated definitions.

What BizLinga teaches

BizLinga covers the vocabulary used in meetings, email, finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, technology, and specific industries. It also explains workplace acronyms and phrases whose meaning depends on context.

The public Workplace English Guide gives clear definitions and realistic examples for 12 terms you may hear in an internship, meeting, or first job.

Who BizLinga is for

BizLinga is designed for students, interns, early-career professionals, international learners, and anyone entering an unfamiliar business setting. The goal is simple: help people understand what is being said and respond with confidence.

Who built BizLinga

BizLinga was founded by Zaharia "Harry" Stahl to help students, interns, international learners, and early-career professionals understand how people communicate at work. The purpose remains the same: help people learn the language of work before unfamiliar terms become a barrier.
