Survival Phrases Season 1 #3 - Getting What You Want Using English

This week I have some really good news for you. We’re talking about good news. What could be better than learning how to give good news in English and how to respond to good news? Here is the best part, it is super simple.

Giving Good News in English

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

How to Disagree Politely in English

Today we’re going to really focus on how you can talk about different future events more naturally in English. You probably learned to use the word “will” or what we often call the future simple when we talk about future events. For example, you would maybe say something like, “I will go to dinner with my friend after work tonight”, or “I will go to Portugal next week for a business conference”. The only problem is we don’t really talk like that in English.

The Simple Future Tense

Have you ever had a conversation in English, maybe on the telephone, when you’re making hotel reservations or talking to an international client in another country, or maybe you’re talking face-to-face with someone after a business meeting or a conference, and you don’t know how to end the conversation? 

The good news is, today is the last day where you will ever feel like that, because we’re going to focus on how you can end a conversation and say goodbye in many different situations, using common, everyday expressions that we use today in modern English.
