Hello and welcome to your Confident English Wednesday lesson.

This week we are focused on how you can disagree with others politely in English and express your opinion.

Whether you work in a company with English speakers or have colleagues around the world who speak English or friends,

it is likely that at some point you will disagree with an opinion,

an idea, a perspective, or how someone wants to do something.

So in this lesson, you're going to learn everything you need to know to do that politely in English.

In English, there are three easy steps to having a successful,

polite, and effective disagreement so that you can express your opinion.

Step one of expressing disagreement is making sure that you begin by softening the language.

We want to use very soft language that is not aggressive, not angry, it will not offend anyone,

but it will show that you are thinking professionally about the situation, you want to be polite, and you have something you want to express.

So a couple of ways to do that.

You can start off by saying that you understand the person's idea

or position something like I hear what you're saying

but I hear what you're saying but so this shows

that you're listening you understand you just have a different idea

we also start expressions by apologizing again we don't want to be offensive we don't want to be too aggressive

so when we apologize it immediately softens the situation so

So we can say, I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you.

And finally, you can pretend that you're not sure if you disagree.

Again, this just takes away the tension of the situation.

It makes it very calm.

So instead of being direct and hard, you can say, I'm not sure I agree with you.

I'm not sure I agree with you.

Any of those expressions, those strategies will help you make sure

that you start your disagreement in a very polite and effective way.

I've given you a lot of different example expressions that you can use with these strategies in the lesson below.

The second step in disagreeing with others after you introduce your disagreement is to offer an alternative or a suggestion.

English -speaking culture is often solution -focused.

We always want to be looking for solutions, not just talking about problems.

So if you're going to disagree, you want to make sure that you're ready to express your opinion, your idea, or an alternative solution.

A couple of example expressions you can use is, In my opinion, I would suggest, or if you ask me, I would recommend

and again in the online lesson there are several other examples

but all of them allow you to introduce what your suggestion your alternative solution

or idea might be and finally in part three of a successful

and polite disagreement we always want to end in a positive way

or on a positive note most of the time it is easy, kind of, to find some middle ground or common ground,

something that both sides can agree on.

But, of course, sometimes it's not possible.

Sometimes both sides have such strong opinions that they cannot find something to agree on in the middle.

If that happens to you in English, I have the perfect expression for you.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

That is the perfect way to end a disagreement where there is no end.

If no one on either side will win, you can use that expression to release the tension, to lighten the conversation.

It's polite and it brings the conversation to an end without anyone being offended.

In the online lesson, I've also given you some informal ways that you can express disagreement with others,

but I really recommend that you only use those with friends, family members, or colleagues that you know very well.

They're not really appropriate for business situations such as a meeting or negotiation.

They're not professional responses to disagreeing.

And finally, I would love to hear from you if you've ever had experience disagreeing with someone in English.

What did you do?

How did you express your disagreement?

I would love for you to share your experience

and what you know in English to do in those situations so that you can help others in the Confident English community.

And you can share all of your experiences, your comments, your thoughts in the comments section just at the bottom of this lesson.

Thank you so much for joining me.

I look forward to seeing you next Wednesday for your Confident English lesson.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
