In today's video, I'm going to teach you how to speak English like a pro.
2
What do I mean by that?
3
Well, I'm going to teach you a series of phrases that you can use in any situation, whether that's at work, at school, or in your daily life,
4
to help you make a great impression on anybody you meet.
5
The phrases I'm going to teach you today are going to help you level up your vocabulary and sound more polite.
6
Ready?
7
Let's get into the video.
8
I'm going to divide today's lesson into two parts.
9
The first part will be dedicated to phrases that you can use every single day in your daily conversations.
10
The second part will focus on English at work.
11
Meetings, presentations, emails, any professional situation where you have to use English.
12
Now, if you're in a conversation with somebody and you don't know something, you might say, I don't know.
13
I don't know.
14
But if you want to sound more polite, you could say, I'm not sure about that.
15
I'm not sure about that.
16
I'm not entirely certain, to be honest.
17
I'm not entirely certain, to be honest.
18
That's a good question.
19
I'd have to look into it.
20
I'd have to look into it.
21
I couldn't say for certain.
22
I couldn't say for certain.
23
These are all alternatives for I don't know.
24
Maybe you're in a conversation with somebody and you don't understand something.
25
Instead of saying, I don't understand, you could say, sorry, could you please repeat that?
26
Sorry, could you please repeat that?
27
Or, I'm not quite following.
28
I'm not quite following.
29
Could you please explain that a bit more?
30

31
I want to make sure I understood everything correctly.
32
Do you mean xyz?
33
Would you mind elaborating on that?
34
Would you mind elaborating on that.
35
Sometimes in a conversation you'll have to tell people no. There's nothing wrong with saying no, but sometimes you want to say no more politely.
36
So you could say, I'm afraid not.
37
I'm afraid not.
38
That doesn't really work for me.
39
That doesn't really work for me.
40
I'd rather not.
41
I'd rather not.
42
Or, unfortunately, that's not something I'm able to do right now.
43
Unfortunately, that's not something I'm able to do right now.
44
Instead of saying, wait, you could say, bear with me for a moment.
45
Bear with me for a moment.
46
Just give me a second.
47
Could you hold on just for a moment?
48
Or, if you can bear with me briefly, I'll be right with you.
49
If you can bear with me briefly, I'll be right with you.
50
Sometimes you want to tell people that they are wrong.
51
So instead of saying you are wrong, which sounds very direct and sometimes a bit rude, you could say, I'm not sure I agree with that.
52
I'm not sure I agree with that.
53
I see it a little differently, actually.
54
I see it a little differently, actually.
55
That's an interesting point, though I'd push back slightly on that.
56
That's an interesting point though.
57
I'd push back slightly on
58
that with respect There might be another way to look at
59
this with respect There might be another way to look at
60
this instead of saying I need help You could say could you give me a hand with this?
61
Could you give me a hand with this would you mind helping me out for a moment?
62
Would you mind helping me out for a moment?
63
I wonder if I could trouble you for some help with this I wonder
64
if I could trouble you for some help with this.
65
I'd really appreciate your input on this if you have a moment.
66
These are some really good ways to ask for help.
67
And lastly, if you disagree with somebody, instead of saying, I disagree, you could say, I'm not totally convinced by that.
68
I'm not totally convinced by that.
69
I take your point, but I do see it differently.
70
I take your point, but I do see it differently.
71
That's a fair argument, but I'd offer a slightly different perspective.
72
That's a fair argument, but I'd offer a slightly different perspective.
73
And lastly, I understand where you're coming from, though I'd have to respectfully disagree.
74
These are all great ways to say I disagree without offending anybody.

77
Now, let's move on to the second half of this video.
78
As I promised, we're going to talk about professional situations.
79
Work, academic environments, meetings, presentations, emails, and stuff like that.
80
It's really, really important that when you're in these situations, you don't offend anybody, you don't speak rudely,
81
and you don't be too direct.
82
The key to sounding more polite is to be a bit more indirect with your language.
83
So let's say you're in a meeting and you tell somebody to send me the report.
84
That's very direct, but it might come across as a bit rude.
85
Instead, you could say, could you send over the report when you get a chance?
86
Would it be possible to share the report with me today?
87
would it be possible to?
88
When you have a moment, I'd appreciate if you could forward the report.
89
When you have a moment, I'd appreciate if you could forward the report.
90
At your earliest convenience, could you please share the report with me?
91
At your earliest convenience, could you please share the report with me?
92
These are all great alternatives and they sound super, super polite.
93
Sometimes you make mistakes.
94
So instead of saying I made a mistake, which is totally honest, you might want to make yourself sound a little bit better.
95
And instead you could say I want to flag an error on my end.
96
I want to flag an error on my end.
97
There was an oversight on my part.
98

99
I've identified an error that I should have caught earlier.
100
Or there was a misstep on my side.
101
There was a misstep on my side.
102
Now, if something is urgent, you could say, this is urgent.
103
But if you want to sound a bit more polite and diplomatic, you could say, this is time sensitive.
104
This is time sensitive.
105
I want to flag this as a priority.
106
I want to flag this as a priority.
107
I appreciate you're busy, but this does require fairly prompt attention.
108
This does require fairly prompt attention.
109
Or I'd be grateful if we could treat this as a matter of some urgency.
110
Instead of saying, I don't have time, you could say, my schedule is fairly full right now.
111
Could we find another time?
112
My schedule is fairly full right now.
113
Could we find another time?
114
I'm tied up at the moment.

116
I want to give this the attention it deserves.
117
Could we schedule some time later this week?
118
Or my capacity is limited at present.
119
Now earlier we talked about disagreement, but if you're disagreeing with your boss or your manager, what could you say?
120
Well, you might say, I'd like to share a slightly different perspective, if that's welcome.
121
I want to make sure I'm understanding the reasoning.
122
Could you please walk me through your thinking?
123
I have a few thoughts on this that I'd like to share if now is a good time.
124
Or I respect the direction and I'd like to put forward an alternative for consideration if that's possible.
125
Instead of saying that isn't good enough if you're not satisfied with something, you could say this is a solid foundation.
126
I'd like to discuss a few minor tweaks before we move forward.
127
I'd like to discuss a few minor tweaks before we move forward.
128
A tweak is a small change.
129

130

132

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。
