Teacher, most expressions you have taught us have a similar grammatical construction and meaning in Spanish, I didn't know it, now I do because of your clear explanation.
Jade, this is very very useful as I could not find these things on any text book to help me express myself better in English. Thank you very much! Please make more videos like this. You know you are saving us from our daily life living in a foreign country. Appreciation!!
Hiya Jade! So grateful for all the lessons, ty! I wish you made videos about phrasal verbs and vocabulary to use when describing touristic attractions, another one about "better/super synonyms" and one about Trainspotting vocabulary. :D
You were spot on with various real life situations and experiences that you have shared with us. I have seen many of these example in my life be at work, or at social gatherings or sometimes in various home situation.
Hello, I am a new student of yours. This is the second video of yours I have seen. I like your accent and the way you teach. Thanks for this useful lesson. Keep it up Jade!
2:32 "Imagine there's an issue where you think one thing and someone else you know thinks something else; you have opposite opinions." An "issue"? This is very vague language. I have noticed that people use this word "issue" more and more often, with less and less clarity of meaning, seemingly whenever they just can't think of an appropriate word. "We have encountered an issue." "I have an issue with it." "What is your issue?" I think it is an Americanism that has infected our language and is consuming it from within. We should make a concerted effort to avoid using the word "issue" when there are better words to use.
Thank you Jade! I think this lesson is important because if you're too direct, you sound offensive sometimes. I once worked as a language teacher of my native language, and lots of students say direct things and I noticed that these things are important. Your lessons help us a lot.
I'm Hungarian. And what you might need to know about us is that we are pretty straightforward people. Which means you will always know what we think of you, whether you like it or not. Just an example, the shoes issue. English version. This is just my opinion but... Hungarian version. now you go back to your room nice and quiet and get dressed like a normal person because we’re not going to a clown festival.
Fascinating stuff, thank you. Might it be useful to do a video from the opposite perspective? It isn't entirely clear to me how someone would speak assertively without sounding rude if all these words were removed from the speech.
See talking with disclaimers and avoiding opinions is how academics are taught to write, especially those in STEM fields. When writing technical reports your evidence may suggest one thing, but you cannot say that "this is what the results mean!" Only that "the results indicate such and such." It is designed so as not to convince people that your hypothesis is the correct one, just because you have the gift of the gab, because your hypothesis may very well not be correct and convincing everyone that an incorrect hypothesis is correct will have disastrous consequences down the line. If everyone is able to write using the same, level and monotonous voice then it can no longer be a factor when convincing readers of your correctness. Of course this doesn't work out totally, you still get badly written reports with good data and excellently written reports that talk crap, but it's (initially) convincing crap. This means that technically minded people who've spent years in academia, whose main work uses this impassionate voice, often find it very difficult to have to speak or write in the more active manner, because it goes so thoroughly against everything they've been trained to do.
well then this is good for you because you will need to stand up one day on some important issue or you won't forgive yourself. Not everything is work you know.
OMG they are all polite ways to speak in my native language 😂😂😂 but the ending of this video is so funny, anyway I guess I could possibly get what you mean lol.
Totally relatable. This happens to me very often. Also, even though my English is reasonably good I sort of fall short of words while talking to someone who has better command over English. Can you help me to get rid of this problem?? Thank you.
Speaking with Disclaimers: This is my (humble personal) opinion but... You might (must) disagree but... I'm not a professional (amateur) but... I'm no...? expert but... I'm not sure if this is always the case, though in my experience... It might just be me (of mine?) but... Forgive me if I'm wrong but... EVADING OPINIONS: It must be hard. I don't know much about it. I know nothing about it. It's not really something I know about. I haven't studied that. So I don't know. SELF-DOUBT: Does that make sense? Have I managed to get my point across? MAKING ONESELF SMALL: 1. I'm not a published author but I do have a small blog. 2. Although I don't have a degree in psychology, I did take a few modules in it.
“In this video, I give you examples of unconfident speaking styles ... While it is sometimes necessary to communicate in an indirect way for the sake of politeness, it’s important to know how to speak in a more confident way too.” So... how to do it (to speak more confidently)? A lesson which shows only how one should not act isn't a good lesson - doing so a person only makes others remember the wrong way of doing/saying something.
Thanks Jade, I love your vids, however what about Pragmatics and the fact that you may be trying to use some of these phrases for other purposes, such as trying to confirm understanding or you belong to an other culture where being humble is important, or maybe you are just making your mind about it.....
Hi jade.. I am from India you doing absolutely brilliant job / I am working for a US based call centre / I am collecting dollars for a bank called credit one /your videos helping me collecting more dollars every day and earning good money/ thank you so much
Hi Jade. Was education a big thing in your family when you were growing up. Or did you just have a natural curiosity for learning at school. Where I grew up and went to school learning and being intelligent wasn’t seen as a good thing. You weren’t cool. Sad really.
Oops! There isn't a quiz for this lesson. Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you, Jade for the lesson and for no quiz😊!
Never mind Jade, Thanks anyway 💜
☺ That's okay. No problem! Thank you jade for the wonderful lesson. Love you 😙❤.
Don't worry Teacher! 😊 Hi from Vietnam 🤗🌸

Awesome lecture -thank you Jade !
Dear Jade, I love your dreamy, artless style.

Fascinating stuff, thank you. Might it be useful to do a video from the opposite perspective? It isn't entirely clear to me how someone would speak assertively without sounding rude if all these words were removed from the speech.
Oh our fairy Jade we your fans waited for you a long time..

You are such an awesome teacher. My best wishes!
I wondered if I could have a word with Jade.❤
I like it☺️
OMG they are all polite ways to speak in my native language 😂😂😂 but the ending of this video is so funny, anyway I guess I could possibly get what you mean lol.
It might be me but I think it’s a good video for being polite in this society.
Sorry for my bad English. Keep going for Jade. Thanks. 👍
THANK YOU
I found your lesson extremely interesting... sorry for my terrible english .... best wishes from italy
Totally relatable. This happens to me very often. Also, even though my English is reasonably good I sort of fall short of words while talking to someone who has better command over English.
Can you help me to get rid of this problem??
Thank you.
i love the way you speak . (sam -sine )

I'm not sure if this is always the case, though in my experience...

EVADING OPINIONS:
It must be hard. I don't know much about it. I know nothing about it.
It's not really something I know about. I haven't studied that. So I don't know.
SELF-DOUBT:
Does that make sense? Have I managed to get my point across?
MAKING ONESELF SMALL:
1. I'm not a published author but I do have a small blog. 2. Although I don't have a degree in psychology, I did take a few modules in it.
Helpful video
Thanks
Thank you jade really appreciate it i will like to diffrentiate can and could thank you
Thank you.
Why article doesn't exist in the fourth example? I thought it should be like 'I'm no AN expert but'. Or 'no' use like determiner?
thank you
❤❤❤❤
