很實用!我在職場上有同樣的體驗。以前我常說 'I am sorry to bother you, if you don't mind. Could I ask you ....". Now I will say "Do you think it is a good time to talk about the project ....".
Useful video! I was a newbie in a tech company of US, all colleagues all agreed that it’s too often for me to say sorry under the unnecessary situation.
This is a good one. All to the point based on my 20+ years of experience working in American corporations. Somehow I came across this channel and it's fun to watch.

In Chinese, excuse me means polite but if use it too often in western world really have different meanings. I think it’s also about language culture different Thank you for teaching me this lessons ❤️
"Is now a good time to talk about the project real quick?" I am sorry but 文法好像不对了吧。 应该是 “ Is it a good time to talk really quickly about the project now? " "now" 好像要放后面。 ”quick" 要加 ly , 用 "quickly“ 才对。 比如说, I do my homework quick 是错的。 I do my homework quickly 才对
I enjoy your shows. They are very well thought out and informative. Here is a question/scenario for you: I have lived in America for a long time and my Chinese is rusty. So I am brushing up my Chinese by reading online books and magazines. I came across this phrase 極品 to describe people who are really greedy and keep taking advantage of their family. Does it have other meaning? And how would you translate it into English? Thanks.

When use 極品to describe an object, it means the highest level/tier. Similar to best(最好的).
Thank you so much for this video! I wish I have watched this earlier! I made a mistake during my recent interview and I was so panic so I said several "sorry". The interviewer told me that there's no need to say sorry about that.

Is that only applicable to American English? What about the British?
I do not want to say sorry so many, the skills are so helpful, thank you, Maggie!

Ultimately confidence is not something we can fake. When we have solid confidence in ourselves, we certainly can say “I’m sorry to bother you but …” and it makes us sound more polished 😊 It could depend on how it’s said.
