Alright, are you ready to learn office English?
21
Let's get started!
22
So Tina, how are you today?
23
I'm pretty good, thanks.
24
Actually, I'm a little tired because I stayed up late last night finishing some work.
25
How about you?
26
Oh, I'm doing well.
27
I had a nice, relaxing weekend, so I feel refreshed.
28
What did you do this weekend?
29
Well, on Saturday, I went to a coffee shop to work on some projects.
30
I know, I know, that sounds boring, but I actually enjoy working in coffee shops.
31
The atmosphere is nice, and I can focus better than at home.
32
Really?
33
I'm the opposite.
34
On Sunday, I tried to work at a coffee shop, but it was too noisy.
35
There were so many people talking, and the coffee machine was so loud, I couldn't concentrate at all.
36
Oh, that's funny.
37
Maybe you went at a busy time?
38
Yeah, I went at noon.
39
Big mistake.
40
Next time I'll go in the morning when it's quieter.
41
Good idea.
42
I always go early in the morning, around 7 or 8 a.m.
43
There are only a few people there, so it's peaceful.
44
See?
45
You're smart about these things.
46
Speaking of work and being productive, that actually connects perfectly to today's topic about office English.
47
That's true.
48
Whether you work in a traditional office, at home, or at a coffee shop like me, you still need to communicate with colleagues and clients.
49
Exactly.
50
So let's talk about all the essential phrases you need for the office.
51
Okay, Leo.
52
Imagine this.
53
You arrive at the office in the morning.
54
What's the first thing you say to your co-workers?
55
Well, I usually say, good morning, or just morning.
56
That's pretty simple, right?
57
Yes, that's the most common greeting.
58
But you can also say, hi, how are you?
59
Or, hey, how's it going?
60
Right.
61
And usually people respond with, good, thanks, how about you?
62
Or, I'm fine, thanks.
63
Exactly.
64
These are polite greetings.
65
You don't always have a long conversation, but it's important to be friendly.
66
Sometimes I also say, good morning, did you have a nice weekend?
67
Oh, I like that.
68
That's more personal.
69
It shows you care about the person.
70
Yes, and it's a good way to start a small conversation.
71
People usually say, yes it was great thanks for asking
72
or it was good i spent time with my family what
73
if someone asks me how was your weekend
74
but i don't want to talk much what can i say
75
you can keep it short just say it was good thanks
76
or pretty relaxing how about yours then you can ask them a question
77
so they talk instead oh that's smart okay
78
so after greetings what happens next usually i need to check my emails and messages.
79
Right.
80
So you might say to yourself or to a colleague, I need to check my emails, or let me see what messages I have.
81
And if I have a lot of emails, I might say, oh no, I have so many emails, or my inbox is full.
82
Exactly.
83
That happens to me all the time.
84
Sometimes I say, I need to go through my emails, which means I need to read them and respond to them.
85
What does go through mean exactly?
86
Good question.
87
Go through means to look at something carefully, one by one.
88
Like, going through emails means reading each email, or going through documents means checking each document.
89
I see.
90
So after checking emails, maybe I need to talk to my boss or manager.
91
What should I say?
92
Well, if you need to speak with your manager, you can say, do you have a minute?
93
Or can I talk to you about something?
94
What if they look busy?
95
Should I still interrupt them?
96
That's a good point.
97
If they look very busy, you can say, Sorry to bother you, but… or, When you have time, could we talk about… Oh, I like sorry to bother you.
98
That's very polite.
99
What does bother mean?
100
Bother means to interrupt or disturb someone.
101
If you say, Sorry to bother you, you're being polite and showing you know they're busy.
102
Got it.
103
So let's say my manager says, yes, they have time.
104
Now I need to ask them a question about a project.
105
How do I start?
106
You can say, I have a question about the project.
107
Or, I need some help with something.
108
You can also say, could you clarify something for me?
109
What does clarify mean?
110
Clarify means to make something clear or easier to understand.
111
If something is confusing, you ask someone to clarify it.
112
I see.
113
So I could say, could you clarify the deadline for this project?
114
Perfect.
115
Or you could ask, when is this due?
116
Due means the time when you need to finish something.
117
Right, the deadline.
118
Sometimes my manager gives me a new task and I'm not sure I understand.
119
What can I say?
120
You should ask questions.
121
Don't pretend you understand if you don't.
122
You can say, could you explain that again?
123
Or, I'm not sure I understand.
124
Could you repeat that?
125
Those are helpful phrases.
126
I sometimes feel shy about asking questions, but I know it's important.
127
It's very important.
128
It's better to ask questions than to do the work wrong.
129
You can also say, just to confirm, you want me to… and then repeat what you think they said.
130
Oh, that's a good technique.
131
So I check if I understood correctly.
132
Exactly.
133
Now, let's talk about meetings.
134
Meetings are a big part of office life.
135
How do you feel about meetings, Leo?
136
Honestly, I don't love meetings.
137
Sometimes they're too long and I get bored, but I know they're necessary.
138
I understand.
139
Some meetings are very productive and some are not, but you need to know the right phrases for meetings.
140
For example, if you're organizing a meeting, you might say, let's schedule a meeting for tomorrow, or can we meet at 2 p.m.?
141
And what if someone suggests a time that doesn't work for me?
142
You can say, I'm not available at that time, or, I have a conflict at 2 p.m.
143
Could we meet at 3 instead?
144
What does conflict mean here?
145
In this context, conflict means you have something else scheduled at that time.
146
It's a polite way to say you're busy.
147
I see.
148
So if 3 p.m works for me, I would say, 3 p.m works for me, or that works for me.
149
Perfect.
150
Now, during the meeting, you might need to share your ideas or give an update.
151
You can say, I'd like to share an update on the project, or can I add something?
152
What if I want to interrupt someone politely during the meeting?
153
You can say, sorry to interrupt, but, or can I just add something here?
154
Or, if I may.
155
If I may sounds very formal.
156
It is formal, but it's very polite.
157
It's good for professional settings.
158
You can also say, may I suggest something, when you have an idea.
159
Okay, what about when I agree with someone in the meeting?
160
You can say, I agree with that, or that's a great point, or I think that's a good idea.
161
And if I disagree, how do I do that politely?
162
Good question.
163
You should be diplomatic.
164
You can say, I see your point, but… or that's interesting, however… or I have a different opinion.
165
Those are much more polite than just saying, no, I disagree.
166
Exactly.
167
In professional settings, you want to be respectful even when you disagree.
168
You can also say, have you considered… and then offer your alternative idea.
169
That's helpful.
170
What about when the meeting is ending?
171
What do people say?
172
Usually, someone says, let's wrap this up, which means let's finish.
173
Or, I think that's everything for today.
174
Or, does anyone have any questions before we end?
175
And then someone might say, let's touch base next week or something like that.
176
Yes.
177
Touch base means to connect or communicate again.
178
It's a very common office phrase.
179
You can say, let's touch base on Friday, or I'll touch base with you about this later.
180
Okay, so meetings are done.
181
Now let's talk about working with colleagues on projects.
182
What phrases do I need?
183
Well, if you need help from a colleague, you can say, could you help me with this?
184
Or do you have time to assist me with something?
185
And if a colleague asks me for help, but I'm too busy.
186
You can say, I'm in the middle of something right now, but I can help you later.
187
Or I'm swamped at the moment.
188
Can it wait until this afternoon?
189
What does swamped mean?
190
Swamped means very busy, like you have too much work.
191
It's a common office expression.
192
You can say, I'm swamped with work.
193
Or I'm really swamped this week.
194
Got it.
195
want to collaborate with someone on a project, how do I suggest that?
196
You can say, Would you like to work together on this?
197
Or, Why don't we collaborate on this project?
198
Or, Let's team up for this.
199
And if we're working together and I finished my part, what do I say?
200
You can say, I've completed my part.
201
Or, I finished my section, do you need help with yours?
202
Or, my part is done, let me know if you need anything.
203
What about asking for feedback?
204
How do I do that?
205
You can say, could you review this and give me feedback?
206
Or let me know what you think.
207
Or I'd appreciate your input on this.
208
What does input mean?
209
Input means someone's ideas, opinions, or contribution.
210
If you ask someone for input, you want their thoughts or suggestions.
211
Okay, so if my colleague gives me feedback and I want to thank them, I say, thanks for the feedback, or I appreciate your input,
212
or that's helpful, thank you.
213
Now let's talk about deadlines.
214
I'm not always good with deadlines.
215
What phrases are important here?
216
Well, if you're asking about a deadline, you say, when is this due?
217
Or, what's the deadline for this?
218
If you're telling someone a deadline, you say, this is due by Friday.
219
Or, the deadline is next Monday.
220
What if I can't meet the deadline?
221
That happens sometimes.
222
You should communicate early.
223
Don't wait until the deadline passes.
224
You can say, I'm running behind on this, or I need an extension on the deadline, or I don't think I can finish this by Friday.
225
Is Monday possible?
226
What does running behind mean?
227
Running behind means you're not making progress as fast as you should.
228
You're behind schedule.
229
It's an honest way to say you're late with something.
230
Okay, so it's better to be honest and ask for more time than to miss the deadline completely.
231
Exactly.
232
In professional settings, you want to be respectful even when you disagree.
233
You can also say, have you considered… and then offer your alternative idea.
234
That's helpful.
235
What about when you finish something early or on time?
236
What do you say?
237
You can inform your manager by saying, I've completed the project, or the report is finished, or I've submitted the proposal.
238
And if you want to sound more professional, what do you say?
239
You can say, I've finalized the document, or the project has been completed, or everything is ready for review.
240
What does finalized mean?
241
Finalized means you've completely finished something, and it's in its final form.
242
Nothing more needs to be done to it.
243
Got it.
244
Now, what about phone calls?
245
Sometimes I need to make phone calls at work, and I'm not sure what to say, especially in English.
246
Phone calls can be tricky.
247
When you answer the phone at work, you usually say, Hello, this is your name, or Good morning, company name, this is your name speaking.
248
And if I'm calling someone?
249
You say, Hi, this is your name from company name.
250
I'm calling about, or Hello, may I speak with person's name?
251
What if the person I'm calling is not available?
252
The receptionist might say, I'm sorry, they're not available right now, or they're in a meeting at the moment.
253
Then you can say, could I leave a message, or when would be a good time to call back?
254
And if someone calls for my colleague who's not here, what do I say?
255
You say, I'm sorry, they're not at their desk right now, or they're away from the office today.
256
Can I take a message?
257
What does take a message mean?
258
It means to write down information from the caller and give it to the person later.
259
So you might say, can I take a message, and then write down what the caller wants to communicate.
260
That makes sense.
261
What about emails?
262
I write a lot of emails at work.
263
What are some good phrases?
264
Email has its own language.
265
To start an email, you usually write, dear, name, for formal emails, or hi, name, for less formal ones.
266
You can also write, hello, name.
267
And how do I start the message part?
268
You can say, I hope this email finds you well, for formal emails, or you can start directly with,
269
I'm writing to, or I wanted to follow up on, or just touching base about.
270
What does follow up mean?
271
Follow up means to check on something or continue a previous conversation.
272
If you sent an email last week and didn't get a response, you can send a follow-up email.
273
You might write, I'm following up on my previous email, or just following up to see if you had a chance to review this.
274
Okay, and what about ending an email?
275
How do I close it?
276
Common closings are best regards, kind regards, thank you, or thanks so much.
277
Then you write your name.
278
What if I need something from someone?
279
How do I ask politely in an email?
280
You can write, could you please?
281
Or would you be able to?
282
Or I would appreciate it if you could… These are all polite ways to make a request.
283
And if I need it urgently?
284
You can write, this is urgent.
285
Or I need this as soon as possible.
286
Or could you prioritize this?
287
But be careful not to overuse urgent or people won't take it seriously.
288
Good point.
289
What about saying no in an email?
290
Sometimes I get requests that I can't fulfill.
291
You should be polite but clear.
292
You can write, unfortunately I won't be able to, or I'm afraid I can't, or I don't have the capacity to take this on right now.
293
What does capacity mean here?
294
Capacity means the ability or time to do something.
295
If you don't have capacity, it means you're too busy or don't have the resources.
296
I see.
297
What about talking about problems at work?
298
How do I bring up an issue?
299
You can say, we have a problem with, or there's an issue with, or I'd like to bring something to your attention.
300
And if I want to suggest a solution?
301
You can say, I think we should, or my suggestion is, or what if we tried, or have you thought about?
302
Those sound collaborative.
303
What about when something goes wrong?
304
How do I apologize professionally?
305
You say, I apologize for the delay, or I'm sorry for the confusion, or I take full responsibility for this mistake.
306
Those are very professional.
307
Better than just saying, my bad.
308
Exactly.
309
In a professional environment, you want to sound mature and responsible.
310
You can also say, I'll make sure this doesn't happen again, or I'm working to fix this immediately.
311
Good.
312
What about praising a colleague?
313
If someone does good work, what can I say?
314
You can say, great job on the presentation, or you did excellent work on this project, or I'm impressed with your results.
315
And if I want to thank someone for their hard work, what do I say?
316
You say, thank you for your hard work, or I appreciate your effort on this, or thanks for going above and beyond.
317
What does going above and beyond mean?
318
It means doing more than expected.
319
If someone goes above and beyond, they do extra work or put in extra effort that wasn't required.
320
That's a nice phrase.
321
Okay, what about breaks and lunchtime?
322
What do people say?
323
You might say, I'm going to take a break.
324
Or, I'll be back in 15 minutes.
325
Or, I'm heading to lunch.
326
I'll be back at 1 p.m.
327
And if I want to invite a colleague to lunch, what do I say?
328
You can say, do you want to grab lunch?
329
Or, would you like to join me for lunch?
330
Or, are you free for lunch?
331
What does grab lunch mean?
332
Grab means to get something quickly.
333
Grab lunch is a casual way to say, get lunch together.
334
You can also say, grab coffee or grab a snack.
335
Okay, and at the end of the day, what do people say when they leave?
336
Usually people say, have a good evening, or see you tomorrow, or I'm heading out, see you Monday.
337
And if someone is working late, what might they say?
338
They might say, I'm going to stay late to finish this, or I'll be here for another hour or two, or I need to work overtime tonight.
339
What does overtime mean?
340
Overtime means working beyond your normal hours.
341
If your normal hours are 9 to 5 and you work until 7, those two extra hours are overtime.
342
Got it.
343
Wow, Tina, we covered a lot of phrases.
344
We did.
345
These are all essential phrases for office communication.
346
If you learn these, you'll feel much more confident at work.
347
I agree.
348
And the best way to learn them is to practice using them in real situations.
349
Exactly.
350
Start with a few phrases and use them every day.
351
Then add more phrases as you get comfortable.
352
You know, Leo, while we were talking, we used many useful words and phrases.
353
Let's go through some of the most important ones.
354
Good idea.
355
I think some viewers might want to review these words.
356
First word, bother.
357
This means to interrupt or disturb someone.
358
When you say, sorry to bother you, you're being polite and acknowledging that the person might be busy.
359
Right.
360
We use this a lot in the office.
361
Can you give more examples?
362
Sure.
363
I don't want to bother you, but I have a quick question.
364
Or, it's no bother at all, which means it's okay, I don't mind helping you.
365
What about the opposite?
366
What's the opposite of bother?
367
Hmm, there's not a direct opposite, but you could say, leave alone or not disturb.
368
Like, please don't disturb me, I'm concentrating.
369
I see.
370
What's the next word?
371
Next word, clarify.
372
This means to make something clear or explain it better.
373
If you don't understand something, you ask someone to clarify.
374
So I could say, could you clarify what you mean by that?
375
Exactly.
376
Or, let me clarify my point, which means let me explain more clearly.
377
Another example is, just to clarify, the meeting is at 3 p.m., not 2 p.m., right?
378
That's helpful.
379
I use this word when I'm confused about instructions.
380
Yes, it's very professional.
381
It shows you want to understand correctly.
382
The noun form is clarification.
383
You can say, I need clarification on this issue.
384
Good to know.
385
What's next?
386
Third word, deadline.
387
This is the date or time when something must be finished.
388
Every project has a deadline.
389
Like the deadline for the report is Friday at 5pm.
390
Perfect.
391
You can also say, we need to meet the deadline, which means we need to finish on time, or we missed the deadline, which means we didn't finish on time.
392
What if the deadline is very soon?
393
You can say the deadline is tight, or we have a tight deadline, which means there's not much time.
394
I see.
395
What about when someone gives you more time?
396
That's called an extension.
397
You can say my boss gave me a deadline extension, or I asked for an extension.
398
Okay.
399
Next word.
400
Fourth word, swamped.
401
This means very busy, like you have too much work.
402
It's an informal but common office word.
403
I'm swamped with work today, or I'm totally swamped this week.
404
Exactly.
405
You can also say I'm swamped with emails, or we're swamped with orders.
406
It gives the image of being overwhelmed, like you're drowning in work.
407
What are some other ways to say you're busy?
408
You can say I'm up to my neck in work, or I have a lot on my plate, or simply I'm really busy right now.
409
Those are all useful.
410
Next word?
411
Fifth word, input.
412
This means someone's ideas, opinions, or contributions.
413
When you ask for input, you want someone's thoughts or suggestions.
414
Like, I'd like your input on this project.
415
Yes.
416
Or, we need input from the marketing team.
417
Or, thanks for your valuable input.
418
The word can also be a verb.
419
You can say, she inputted the data, which means she entered the information.
420
But we're focusing on the noun form, right?
421
The opinion meaning.
422
Right.
423
In meetings, people often say, does anyone have any input?
424
Which means, does anyone have ideas or opinions to share?
425
Got it.
426
What's next?
427
Sixth word, collaborate.
428
This means to work together with someone on a project.
429
It's very professional.
430
Let's collaborate on this proposal.
431
Perfect.
432
You can also say, we collaborated with the design team, or this is a collaborative project.
433
The noun is collaboration.
434
You can say, thank you for your collaboration.
435
Is it different from cooperate?
436
They're similar.
437
Collaborate often implies working together closely to create something.
438
Cooperate is more general and just means working together or helping each other.
439
Interesting.
440
Next word?
441
Seventh word, follow up.
442
This means to check on something or continue a previous conversation.
443
It's very common in business English.
444
Like, I'll follow up with you next week about this.
445
Exactly.
446
Or, I'm following up on my email from yesterday.
447
Or could you follow up with the client?
448
You can also use it as a noun.
449
I need to do a follow-up.
450
Or let's schedule a follow-up meeting.
451
So it's about checking progress or continuing communication.
452
Yes, exactly.
453
It ensures things don't get forgotten.
454
If someone doesn't respond to your email, you send a follow-up email.
455
That makes sense.
456
What's the next word?
457
Fifth word, capacity.
458
In the office context, this means the ability, time, or resources to do something.
459
If you don't have capacity, you're too busy or don't have what you need.
460
So, I don't have the capacity to take on another project right now.
461
Perfect.
462
Or, we're at full capacity, which means we can't do any more work.
463
Or, do you have the capacity to help me with this?
464
What about other meanings of capacity?
465
Capacity can also mean the maximum amount something can hold, like the room has a capacity of 50 people, or the hard drive is at full capacity.
466
But in the office, we usually use it to talk about workload.
467
Yes, exactly.
468
It's about whether you have the time and resources to do something.
469
Okay, next word.
470
Ninth word, touch base.
471
This is an informal phrase that means to communicate or connect with someone, usually briefly.
472
It comes from baseball.
473
Like, let's touch base next week, or I'll touch base with you on Friday.
474
Exactly.
475
You can also say, I wanted to touch base about the project, or just touching base to see how things are going.
476
So it's like a quick check-in or update.
477
Yes, it's not usually a long conversation.
478
It's just connecting to stay updated or coordinate.
479
Some people also say, let's connect, which has a similar meaning.
480
Is this phrase used in formal situations?
481
It's used in business, but it's somewhat informal.
482
In very formal situations, you might say, let's discuss, or let's meet instead.
483
Good to know.
484
What's next?
485
Tenth word, urgent.
486
This means something needs immediate attention or must be done quickly.
487
It's very important.
488
Like, this is urgent, or I have an urgent manner to discuss.
489
Yes, or I need this urgently, or it's not urgent, but when you have time.
490
You can also say something is an emergency, which is even more serious than urgent.
491
What's the noun form?
492
It's urgency.
493
You can say, this matter has some urgency, or there's no urgency, which means there's no rush.
494
And we should be careful not to call everything urgent, right?
495
Exactly.
496
If you say everything is urgent, people won't take you seriously.
497
Save urgent for things that really need immediate attention.
498
Good advice.
499
What's the next word?
500
Fifteenth word, finalize.
501
This means to complete something in its final form, so nothing more needs to be done.
502
It's very professional.
503
Like, I finalized the report, or we need to finalize the details.
504
Perfect.
505
You can also say, once we finalize the contract, we can begin, or the design has been finalized.
506
The noun is finalization.
507
You can say, we're working on the finalization of the project.
508
So it's stronger than just finish.
509
Yes.
510
It implies that everything is completely done and approved.
511
It's in its final state.
512
Got it.
513
Last word?
514
Twelfth word, prioritize.
515
This means to decide which tasks are most important and should be done first.
516
Good time management requires prioritizing.
517
Like, I need to prioritize this project, or what should I prioritize today?
518
Exactly, or we should prioritize customer requests, or let's prioritize the urgent tasks.
519
The noun is priority.
520
You can say, this is my top priority, or what are your priorities for this week?
521
So if something is a priority, it's important and should be done first.
522
Yes, exactly.
523
In the office, you often have many tasks, so you need to prioritize which ones to do first based on importance and deadlines.
524
That's really useful.
525
So those are our 12 key vocabulary words.
526
Let me summarize them quickly.

I hope viewers aren't overwhelmed.
543
Don't worry.
544
Let's think about what we learned and organize it.
545
It's actually quite simple when you break it down into sections.

547

548
First, we learned morning greetings and starting your workday.

563

564
Sorry to interrupt.
565

566
Have you considered?
567
And let's wrap this up.
568

Then we talked about working with colleagues and asking for help.

Exactly.
595
You don't need to memorize all 100 phrases today.
596
Just start with a few from each section and practice them.
597
As you get comfortable, add more phrases to your vocabulary.

606
For me, I think I say, let's touch base later a lot.
607
I use this when I'm busy and someone wants to talk, so I suggest we connect later when I have more time.

For me, I think I say, could you clarify that?
610
Pretty often.

このレッスンについて
「Speak Confidently at the Office in English | 150 Essential Phrases | Conversation Practice」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
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。
