I'm Lily, and today we have a really fun topic.
8
I'm Tom, and I love this one.
9
We are talking about real workplace English, the kind of English your textbook never taught you.
10
Seriously, nobody in an American office actually talks like a textbook.
11
Nobody.
12
We're going to teach you the phrases Americans use every day at work.
13
The ones that can make you sound confident, natural, and professional.
14
Whether you work with native English speakers, have a job interview coming up, or just want to level up your business you.
15
This is B2 to C1 level content, so get ready to take notes.
16
Let's go!
17
Okay, before we jump into today's lesson, I have a question for you.
18
Ooh, is this the question?
19
Yes, this is the question.
20
So Tom had a very interesting moment at work last year.
21
Oh, no. Are you telling that story?
22
I am absolutely telling that story.
23
Okay, so here is your question.
24
Fine.
25
Tom's manager asked him to loop her in on a project.
26
What do you think Tom did?
27
Do not answer yet.
28
Wait until the end of the video.
29
Keep watching and we will tell you exactly what happened.
30
Comment below what you think "loop someone in" means.
31
Okay, Tom, let's set the scene.
32
This was, what, your first real American office job?
33
Yes, fresh out of college.
34
I thought I knew English.
35
I had studied it for years.
36
Famous last words.
37
Right?
38
So it was my first week.
39
My manager, Sarah, comes over to my desk.
40
She says very casually, "Hey, Tom, can you loop me in on the Henderson project?" And what did you do?
41
absolutely knew what that meant.
42
You didn't ask?
43
I was 22 and terrified.
44
Of course I didn't ask.
45
So what happened next?
46
Okay, so I went back to my desk and I thought, "Loop her in." Like, A loop, like everything.
47
A circle.
48
Maybe she wants me to include her in an email chain.
49
Or maybe she wants a physical document, like a binder with loops.
50
You thought she wanted a binder?
51
I actually walked into the supply room looking for a three -ring binder, Lily.
52
I am not joking.
53
Tom.
54
Tom, no. Thankfully, a colleague named Marcus stopped me.
55
He said, "Hey, what are you doing?" I explained.
56
He looked at me for a long moment.
57
What did he say?
58
He said, "loop her in means add her to the email thread, man." And?
59
And I walked back to my desk and forwarded the email.
60
Problem solved.
61
Three -ring binder crisis averted.
62
I love that story so much.
63
And the moral of the story is,
64
American workplace phrases can be very confusing if nobody explains get into all the vocabulary,
65
let's talk about something really important: a grammar pattern that comes up constantly in professional English.
66
This is the kind of grammar that makes you sound polished, not just correct.
67
We're talking about hedging language, or what linguists call epistemic modality.
68
But let's keep it simple.
69
Please.
70
Hedging means softening what you say, using language that sounds less direct, more do this at work?
71
Great question.
72
In professional settings, especially in American culture, being too blunt or too direct can sound rude or even aggressive.
73
So people soften their opinions and suggestions.
74
So instead of saying, your idea is wrong, which you should never say, right, you might say, I wonder if we could look at this from a different angle.
75
Exactly.
76
Same message, completely different energy.
77
Here are the main hedging structures to know.
78
Number one.
79
"I tend to think" instead of "I think." This sounds more thoughtful, less aggressive.
80
I tend to think we should push the deadline to Friday.
81
Number two: It might be worth This softens a suggestion beautifully.
82
It might be worth revisiting the budget before we move forward.
83
We have a budget problem and I'm being very polite about it.
84
Exactly.
85
Number three: I'm not sure I follow.
86
This is how you say "I don't understand" in a professional setting without sounding confused or unprepared.
87
I'm not sure I follow.
88
Could you walk me through that again?
89
So smooth, so professional, so much better than what?
90
Which is what I said many times in my first month.
91
The grammar structure behind hedging, modal verb plus base verb, might be, could be, tend to,
92
would suggest, these are your tools.
93
Practice using them this week.
94
You will immediately sound more natural.
95
Today we have eight American workplace expressions that you absolutely need to know.
96
8. Let's go.
97
Number 1.
98
Loop someone in.
99
My personal nemesis.
100
To loop someone in means to include someone in a conversation or email chain, usually because the information is relevant to them.
101
Can you loop the design team in on this?
102
They'll want to know about the deadline change.
103
You might also hear "keep me in the loop." That means keep me updated, keep me informed.
104
I'm heading into a meeting.
105
Keep me in the loop if anything changes.
106
The image is of a loop, a circle.
107
You're bringing someone into the circle of information.
108
If I had known that, I would have saved myself a very embarrassing trip to the supply room.
109
Number 2.
110
Circle back.
111
Also very popular.
112
To circle back means to return to a topic later.
113
It's used when you can't deal with something right now, but you will come back to it.
114
That's a great question.
115
Let me circle back to you on that after I check the numbers.
116
Or in a meeting, we're running short on time.
117
Let's circle back to this on Thursday.
118
Is there a way to tell if someone is genuinely going to circle back or if they're just avoiding the topic?
119
That is an excellent question, and unfortunately the answer is experience.
120
the hard way number three bandwidth this one is everywhere bandwidth originally comes from technology internet bandwidth
121
but in the workplace bandwidth means your capacity to take on work your time
122
and mental energy do you have the bandwidth to take on this project means do you have time
123
and energy for this i'm at full bandwidth right now means I'm completely swamped.
124
I cannot take on anything else.
125
Which is the polite way to say, "Please do not give me one more thing." And the polite response is, "No worries, I'll find someone else." Not,
126
"But you have to." Understanding bandwidth saves you from over committing.
127
Use it.
128
Number four, take this offline.
129
This one confused me for a while, too.
130
To take something offline doesn't mean to go off the internet.
131
It means to continue a conversation privately or separately, away from the main meeting or group discussion.
132
This is a great point, but it's getting a bit detailed.
133
Can we take this offline after the meeting?
134
Translation, this topic is important, but it doesn't need to involve everyone in this room.
135
It's actually very useful.
136
Sometimes meetings go sideways because two people get into a deep debate.
137
Let's take this offline, brings the meeting back on track.
138
Very diplomatic, very professional.
139
Number five: Move the needle.
140
Oh, I love this one.
141
To move the needle means to make a meaningful or noticeable impact.
142
To actually make progress.
143
We need a strategy that moves the needle, not just small adjustments.
144
The image comes from old measurement dials.
145
If the needle doesn't move, nothing is changing.
146
If the needle moves, something is working.
147
You'll also hear, that won't move the needle, meaning that won't make a real difference.
148
Which is the professional way to say, "That's a bad idea." Basically.
149
Number seven: Synergy.
150
Oh wow, we're going there?
151
We have to!
152
Okay, "synergy" is one of the most famous business buzzwords of all time.
153
And people make fun of it, but you need to know it because you will absolutely hear it.
154
Synergy means the combined effect of two or more things working together is greater than what they could achieve separately.
155
The merger creates great synergy between our two teams, means together we are stronger than apart.
156
It sounds very impressive and very important.
157
It does.
158
Whether or not it means anything specific is sometimes a different question entirely.
159
Be aware that some people use it too much.
160
If you overuse buzzwords like synergy, people notice.
161
Use it, know it, but use it carefully.
162
Number seven, deliverable.
163
This one is very practical, very useful.
164
A deliverable is a specific result, product or piece of work that must be completed and handed over by a deadline.
165
What are the deliverables for this project means what exactly do we need to produce and when.
166
My main deliverable this week is the final report for the client.
167
This word is everywhere in project management.
168
you will use this word.
169
Learn it, own it.
170
Number eight.
171
On the same page.
172
Ah, a classic.
173
To be on the same page means to have the same understanding, to agree on the facts or the plan.
174
Before we move forward, I just want to make sure we're all on the same page, means let's confirm we all understand and agree on the situation.
175
You'll also hear, "Are we on the same page here?" which can sometimes mean,
176
"I'm not sure you understood what I just said." on that one.
177
Very good advice, Tom.
178
My personal story, my first performance review,
179
my manager said, "I don't think we're on the same page about your priorities." That sounds stressful.
180
Very stressful.
181
I thought she was happy with my work.
182
Turns out she wasn't.
183
We had very different expectations.
184
So what did you do?
185
I asked her to walk me through her priorities.
186
I used my hedging language.
187
I want to make sure I understand clearly.
188
Could you help me prioritize? And?
189
Best performance review of my life the following year.
190
Because you got on the same page.
191
Literally!
192
Okay, time to practice.
193
Repeat after us.
194
Say each phrase out loud.
195
This is how you make it stick.
196
Ready?
197
Shadow our voices exactly.
198
Same speed, same emotion.
199
Can you loop me in on that?
200
Can you loop me in on that?
201
Let's circle back on Thursday.
202
Let's circle back on Thursday.
203
I don't have the bandwidth right now.
204
I don't have the bandwidth right now.
205
Can we take this offline?
206
We need something that actually moves the needle.
207
The synergy between our teams is really strong.
208
What are the deliverables this week?
209
Let's make sure we're all on the same page.
210
Beautiful. Do that three times.
211
Tomorrow, use one of those phrases in your real life or in a comment below.
212
We love seeing you use the language.
213
It makes our day.
214
Now we want to hear from you.
215
Which of these eight phrases was completely new to you?
216
Comment below, tell us the phrase, and use it in a sentence.
217
For example, "Loop me in was new." My sentence is, "Please loop me in on the project update." We read every single comment.
218
We respond, "We are here for you." This community is the best part of what we do, honestly.
219

220

221
We upload every single day.
222
Okay, are you ready for the answer?
223
I'm still embarrassed about this.
224
You heard about Tom's manager asking him to loop her in, and we asked, what did Tom actually do?
225
I went to the supply room looking for a three -ring binder because I thought loop meant an actual physical loop, like on a binder.
226
explained it to me.
227
Luckily a colleague stopped him and explained loop her in means add her to the email thread.
228
And now you know you never have to make that mistake.
229
No emergency supply room visits for you.
230
Exactly.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유
영어를 배우는 데 있어 실제 상황에서 사용하는 언어를 익히는 것은 매우 중요합니다. 이 비디오에서는 미국의 직장에서 자주 사용되는 표현들을 배울 수 있습니다. 이러한 표현들은 여러분이 보다 자신감 있게, 자연스럽게, 전문적으로 소통할 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 특히, 원어민과의 대화에서 자신을 잘 표현하고 싶거나 취업 면접을 준비하는 분들에게 유익합니다. shadow speak를 통해 연습하면, 발음과 억양도 개선할 수 있어 여러분의 비즈니스 영어 수준을 높일 수 있습니다.
문법 및 맥락에서 표현 분석
이 비디오에서는 몇 가지 핵심 구조를 배울 수 있습니다:
- loop someone in: 특정 프로젝트에 대해 정보를 공유하라는 의미입니다. 이 표현은 한국어로 '참여시키다' 또는 '연결하다'라는 의미로 해석될 수 있습니다.
- can you: 요청이나 허락을 구할 때 자주 사용합니다. 예를 들어, "Can you help me?"는 "도와줄 수 있나요?"로 번역됩니다.
- very casually: '매우 캐주얼하게'라는 표현은 일상적인 대화를 나타내며, 친근한 분위기에서의 대화를 묘사합니다.
이와 같은 표현들을 익히면 영어 회화 능력이 한층 향상될 것입니다. 영어 발음 교정과 같은 다른 연습 기법과 함께 사용하면 더욱 효과적입니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 주의할 점은 특정 단어의 발음입니다. 예를 들어 "loop"라는 단어는 한국어 발음으로 '루프'가 아닌 '루읍' 또는 '룹'으로 소리내는 것이 자연스러울 수 있습니다. 또한 특정 억양은 미국식 영어의 특징을 반영하므로, shadowing site를 활용해 반복 학습하는 것이 좋습니다. 마지막으로, "Henderson"과 같은 고유명사는 발음하기 쉽지 않으므로 여러 번 듣고 따라해 보세요.
이러한 음성 연습을 통해 shadowspeaks 기술을 꾸준히 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 어려운 발음도 반복적으로 연습하여 마스터하세요!
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
