[@made3442]

flat out = incredibly busy train of thought = discussion flow get back on track / off track to bank on = to bet on (somethng) to brush up on = to update/improve (skills) to bring something to the table = to provide something beneficial bring up = to mention/introduce a topic to turn down = to decline an offer wing it = doing along with an unexpected event off the cuff = doing something without preparation while being comfortable

Undoubtedly, this lesson brings about gradual changes in business communication. Your estimate of business phrases range from top to bottom in this lesson. I'm very keen on accepting all your explanation. You are always stick to your principles of providing pleasure and beautiful smile , and I'm a big fan of it. It's a step forward lesson toward my career ambition. I'm really like to bring some interesting and creative ideas to the table. I'd really like to brush up on conversation and communication skills. My train of thought thwart with sudden noise. I tend to go off track when I became tired or exhausted. However, It's my 17th comment and I really find pleasure in practising what I've just learnt new from your lesson. I'm eagerly waiting for a new present-lesson from you. ☺

@@jesse_sweed Not only I watch Emma, I have several different ways to practice my English, I have improved a lot, that allowed me to find a welle-paid job as a bilingual costumer service representative. I am in Colombia. Thanks for asking me. No doubt we can reap the fruit of being persistent and constant.

[@Mingoolio]

I just started my first job a few months ago, and ppl just casually throw these idioms around. It is truly a struggle to keep up with them. This is super helpful! Please make more office related English lessons🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@AcademicAshley]

Hey! I saw your comment & wanted to let you know that I have several videos on office idioms on my channel if you're looking for more :-)

[@naeemullah3702]

You are a teacher to keep us on track learning English.

[@ayman-1994]

Useful lesson as usual, I’m lucky to know your YT channel in this period. You’ve been helping me.

[@najihaparveen2713]

Such a wonderful lesson,,,, great..... Lovely expression

[@Balconychild]

Lovely video by a lovely teacher! You had a perfect pace in your presentation and I found the expressions taught both interesting and practical. As someone who is not a native English speaker but has become a Middle school English teacher in Sweden , I think your native Australian accent is really clear and frankly speaking enviable.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Thank you for your generous comment! I really appreciate it 😀

[@maximilliankohler3901]

It really helps that you have a very pleasing personality and charm plus you bring clarity to the table which makes learning this rather boring stuff interesting and fun! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@marciacox1185]

Love this channel. I've Arrived in Australia 1989 however with those videos I can pick up some of my English mistakes. I always though that the expression was "chain of thought" wow it is train of thoughts. Thanks Emma you are a champion

[@sohersaker7578]

After watching this video I felt that I could make a fantastic speech totally off the cuff, and bring any topic up without fear or stress

Hi Emma 💙 , I adore your useful lessons, but i have a question that bothers me a lot it’s : Can the idioms generally be used in a Formal writing ? thanks in advance💛
