As an autistic adult who struggled speaking as a kid, this is really helpful. My mom didn't speak politely so I've been trying really hard to re-learn the way I speak so it's not so harsh and blunt. Thanks a lot!!

Yes, every language has different signals to indicate politeness. Understanding how to translate it from one culture and language to another takes quite a bit of understanding and self checking!

Yes Emma, linking the words is the most difficult thing for non spoken English, thank you for making it much easier

[@marcob4630]

Hi Emma! This is a brillant idea: not only teaching trivial English but also how to to be polite in speaking. This is so rare nowaday that you are a welcome exception. You are a classy teacher who disperse also real class in conversation. Good so: we need educated and friendly people like you!

[@AhmedHassan-le2gb]

[@AnlanCA]

Love this video, it improves my tone so much. In stead of talking being kind to each other, at work/home/any place, this video really help me make it happen!

[@lowellcunningham3332]

The easiest way to make a request polite is to say "please" when making the request, and "thank you" when the request is granted. "Please open the door for me." "Thank you/Thanks!" Another way to say "no" to an invitation is to show that you wish you could accept. Similar to the example in the video, just adding something like "If only you'd asked me sooner." (Invites the day before an event are REALLY short notice!) One other area to show extra politeness or respect is when you see a stranger in need of help, especially someone with physical challenges. Many people don't want help or are embarrassed to ask, so it's always better offer your assistance as an option. "Would you like some help with that?" "Mind if I help?" "I could hold the door for you if you'd like."

I’m really grateful to you so much for giving me many exciting and appropriating lessons. In addtion, my listening skill was very low, even if, I couldn’t hear anything, before. However, there has a massive change since I’ve known you. I stick your lesson in my daily activities. Step by step, now, I feel that I have more confidence in both listening and English. Once again, I relly want to express my grateful for you. Love you 3000❤️❤️❤️

[@nacciomart4586]

Hi Emma, how's it going? My favorite is...all of them😊 Great phrases, excellent pronunciation practice. POLITE REQUEST: 1. would you mind explanning the lesson one more time? 2. If it's ok with you, could you make more grammar videos? 3. If you get the chance, could you explain the future perfect? 4. when you have a minute could you reply to my message? POLITE SUGGESTIONS: 1. What if we took* the class together? 2. How about we took/take* the class together? 3. Why don't we take our breakfast? 4. What do you think about practicing one more time. SAYING "NO" POLITELY: 1. I'm afraid I can't make it. 2. Unfortunatelly, I can't make it. 3. It's unlikely I can't make it. 4. I doubt it if can't make it. 5. I'm not sure I can make it. Question: * in the polite siggestion: what if we "moved" and how about we "took" the verb is always in past simple or could be in present simple too? Thank you Emma. You're the best!! Keep it up!!

[@susanma4899]

Hi. Let me correct the sentences that are wrong: 2. How about we take the class together? (you cannot use "took" here.) 3. Why don't we have our breakfast? and later, 3. It's unlikely I can make it. 4. I doubt if I can make it.
