Annoying Corporate Buzzwords You Need to Know! | Business English for Meetings

[@sophiasimonkopal9293]

You're one of a kind. The most original English teacher.

[@papateachme]

Thanks✌️😬

[@gogf1]

Here is mine: "It's not rocket science" Great video!

[@abscondet]

- Is it what it is (To say “this is the situation, and we can’t help or change it.”) - Action points (A specific proposal for action to be taken, typically one arising from a discussion or meeting. Example: “The report has put forward six key action points”) - A holistic approach (Taking a holistic approach to a problem means considering every aspect of something. The whole.) - At the end of the day (Replaces: “The most important thing is… “) - Find that balance (To find a good middle ground between two things) - Conflate (To confuse two separate things as one thing) - Play it by ear (Wait for more details before making a plan) - Unpack (Analyse something in its component elements)

Not a single second of the video is boring. You're such an amazing teacher in YT ❤

[@rocknroller81]

I'm a tech working at business meetings and conferences all the time. The amount of corporate gibberish and nonsensical expressions being used is staggering. So I found this video really funny and true :)

[@loredanatagliaferri5339]

Great lesson, as usual. 👏👏👏. It was good to see Tom! 😊

[@papateachme]

Toms great!

[@loredanatagliaferri5339]

@@papateachme both of you. 👏👏👏👏

[@edwardlowe]

please do a lesson that tells us all the business English phrases and expressions that are meaningless. This would be really useful for work!

[@papateachme]

I’m planning a whole course. Don’t worry ✌️🙂

[@monica_carolina]

I'm completely amazed with each class that you give us. Thanks a lot 👏🏼👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@mercheescrivablasco4322]

You're fun and super efficient at teaching. Love your tutorials!

[@enKageKagen]

At least in corporate english you have words and phrases, which are useless, but at least everyone understands. In corporate polish it is more common to use words nobody understands, so it is basically impossible to guess if there are useless or not. Happy you!

[@maya.7057]

Aly, that's great that you speak a different language at your lessons on Sundays haha!

[@mr8966]

Thank-you for not making too much of a meal out of this. 😝

[@elfanmdi]

As always I love the way you teach!

[@Franciscoluche]

1:22 « C’est la Vie !!! » 😂👍🇫🇷

[@tobiMelka]

It is what it is... at the end of the day, we need a balance... let's play it by ear 😎😂 ps: thanks for this video, Aly❣️ since I hate too much of terminology 😅

[@fluentinoverthinking]

Me watching this video hoping I will never work in the corporate world again: 🗿

[@sandragams]

That's a good question

[@stefan1221]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Awesome, really. "It is like it is " ;-) 👍

[@BoomChockolaca]

In my experience Action Points were called Bullet Points (by several English and Scottish guys)

[@voyager69]

Me, every morning: 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargain 4. Depression 5. Good morning, colleagues

[@nightmaretraveller]

Underrated comment

[@oleksandrrozum3461]

Thanks Ali

[@HISPEEDLEVEL]

I can explain all of this carp perfectly. At one point of time, a few decades ago, an unpleasant mutation in companies staff has appeared - effective managers. But to continue their existence they must be different from regilular normal managers, right? Otherwise who needs this f. Ks anyway? So they invented this stupid language (maybe they read too much Paolo Coelho) and proclaim that it cost twice larger salary for them. I new it really well guys I was there at the beginning. This is the mould of business that is hard to get rid of.

[@vladimirf2633]

Ali, thanks for the video! :) Not necessarily a business English phrase but "If I'm not mistaken" never made any sense to me :D No one expects you to be ultimately right in everything :D

[@neknarqo]

“Let’s double-click on that” is seems to be another version of “unpack” among business folks in the US. Until this lesson I couldn’t figure out why it sounded so weird 😂

[@papateachme]

Double click on that?! 😂 omg

[@rezahasheminasab]

Thanks very much for this amazing video especially you had a ft. 😅

[@marianoscotti8899]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏A.W, el teacher mas crack ! ( in Argentinian slang )😀🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧

[@СветланаКуравлева]

Hi! And what about "circle back" expression?

[@unaby_unaby]

Thanks, Aly. You won't believe, but the same kinda "bullshitty" business vocabular presents in every office in every language. And it's so useless right as you said above. Obvious and banal things, like: so today we should work on the current project, lol. Good luck, bud 🙂

[@ivanarubic9634]

Such brilll teacher ❤

[@mr8966]

At your next board meeting when the CEO makes a key proposal involving deep systemic change in your corporation, put your hand up and say ‘What’s the diff?’.

[@marcinsobczak2485]

although I understand all those phrases i just refuse to use them, just to add more chaos and confusion to the conversation 😂

[@robertfiala1540]

a great video, thanks :)

[@JennyHolloway-v5p]

Going forward

[@zbmlk]

Thank you Ali I can stop feeling stupid now!😮‍💨 😂you are the best!❤🙏 ( you know that,right?!😎)

[@Burvedys]

wholistic means the whole while holistic means the hole (and some synonym of donkey in front of).

[@genorawansaepuengsecondary3938]

OMG!!! That wig killed them all

[@anzhelika6720]

Literally my colleges during every meeting

[@InnaDbd]

Please make a video about news headlines. They are nightmare. Know all the words but can't get the phrase

[@rodrocha8063]

my most hated corporate word is “leverage”. can ppl please stop leveraging stuff? lol

[@dTristras]

e' lo que hay 1:17

[@dfxdfx5368]

You were walking on a treadmill in the first scene, weren't you?

[@papateachme]

I was doing the GTA walk

[@juholee5465]

That's the ticket

[@papateachme]

Certainly is

[@elifalkan3871]

☺️

[@lariiris]

Corporate language sucks in any language 😅 it is irritating!

[@papateachme]

What are some corporate expressions in your language?

[@monicapinheiro2117]

I do agree with you.

[@earlgreyinseoul]

Bin it off😂😂😂

[@minauzundal1512]

❤❤❤

[@XOXO-eo5vu]

It is simple, bullshit and meaningless jobs needed their own bullshit and meaninless language. Pure logic!

[@yuriiherbenko8381]

Business English is dead! Long live Business English!

[@trex3139]

For me, I even keep a small lexicon of these bullshit expressions, not only business, but all over media "trendy" nonsensical expressions - empowering, marginalise, perceptual bubble, dynamic opposition, gain of function, circular innovation, curated, by proxy... and i think - what does it even mean? would you talk like that to a child?...
