About this listen
Workbooks with scripts are available for all episodes — link below.
Synopsis: It’s Lyla’s first day at work, where HR’s Ms. Davies welcomes her with forms and a friendly packet. From Douglas’s office tour to Penny’s quick rescue finding the shared drive, she discovers how teamwork and tone shape her new workplace.
Character Spotlight: Lyla navigates formal HR language, Douglas’s warm, confident leadership as a successful African American manager, and Penny’s friendly coworker support.
“Welcome aboard!” — Douglas
Learning Hook (Zoe’s Grammar / Expression Tip):
This episode focuses on shifting tone in workplace communication. Zoe highlights how Lyla’s language changes depending on who she’s speaking with — formal with HR, casual with her manager, and friendly with a coworker. You can practice idioms like “lend me a hand” and “give me a shout”, while building confidence in adapting tone to different professional settings.
Tagline: “Every workplace has its rhythm — learn to match the tone.”
Follow along with the scripts, vocabulary, and seven exercises in each episode’s workbook. All four workbooks are available now for members —
