    I was lucky because U found out this video. And now I gained new phrases that I can use when I speak English with my friends. Now, I would be polite enough by using these phrases. Thank you.

    The word "sorry" isn't only simple but useful when I want to remain polite. Plus, it's also important to learn both polite & rude words & expressions. Anyway, thanks for sharing a great English lesson! I still need your great help for my English!

    Dear Gill, thank you so much for your lessons. In this day and age I really appreciate it when someone takes the time to make a video to help some random strangers. You have a soothing voice and your explanations are always insightful. Thank you so much, I am looking forward to your next videos!

  • @anthonymaggiore4268
    @anthonymaggiore4268 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a friend who, when she didn't quite catch what you said, would simply say "Please?" with a slight movement of the head and the same kind of upward inflection as you describe for "sorry." To me that sounded both warm and inviting, yet polite and cool, at the same time - possibly because it was so different from what I was used to hearing and yet refreshingly apt for the situation.

      Some people in the Midwest use, please, as in please repeat it instead of pardon or . Sorry.

    Excelent video! My first language is Portuguese. I was in Seattle 3 months ago and I used "sorry", "could you repeat, please" all the time. Thank you so much to help us with these amazing video classes!

  • @sinetarasena
    @sinetarasena 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I used "what?" once when I was talking with the people in our first meeting. I didn't know that it's rude. Thank you for making this vdo.

  • @nikajo002

    I love this video. I communicate with a lot of leaders and non- leaders at work, and it's really hard for me to say "sorry" and "please" all the time. Additionally, the word sorry doesn't even exist in my languages, so that makes it even harder for me to use the word. I've had good and bad practices on using both words and I still struggle with it today. I feel like I need to work on this, as well as my tone, and delivery. Thank you.

    I am British and I disagree that saying "pardon?" is old-fashioned. I am in my mid thirties and was taught to say "pardon?" by my mother as a child when she was teaching me manners. I always say "pardon?" and I don't think it's a sign of being old-fashioned. It just means you were well brought up and were taught good manners. By the way, I love your accent and your manner of speaking. You have a very relaxing calming effect on me.

    • @thomashadleigh2575
      @thomashadleigh2575 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      My uncle is Canadian and he uses to say 'I beg your pardon?'. Would you consider that old fashioned? I'm asking because English isn't my first language. So I don't have a feeling for what's old fashioned or more modern style, so to speak. Thank you.

    • @Xannika2008
      @Xannika2008 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with Anne. I knew all the things in the video but what's been told about "pardon" was the only surprised me. I learnt "pardon" from my German friend in 2000s and I love the word, how it sounds. "I beg you pardon?" reminds me of "Are you being served"? series, I find this phrase very politely beautiful.
