    Learn how to use these very common British English expressions - these are formal expressions, and we must use them with the correct intonation to create the right impression.
    Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.

    Your voice is calm but not boring while your gesture not exaggerated, which is different from many other online English language trainers I see. Love your teaching style

    Introductions: Hand shake + Salutation
    - Hello (Up-down)
    - Good morning (Up Up down)
    - Nice to meet you (Up down)
    - So how's your day been so far (down at the end) (Open question= Falling tone)
    - Alright? (Rising tone)
    Apologise:
    - Sorry: Not enough (Man, the Brits are apologetic)
    - I apologise for any inconvenience caused
    - I'm awfully sorry
    - Quantify how sorry you are
    Give an order:
    - Could you just (do this for me, please?)
    - Would you mind…(blah-blah), please?
    - I'm so pissed off (rude):
    ○ It's quite an inconvenience (better)
    ○ I'm not particularly happy with/about..

      I'm surprised that Eliot hasn't even mentioned the phrase "how do you do", used when meeting someone else. It's a VERY normal, a little formal, English expression.

    I love your British accent, your pronounciation is highly accurate plus your explanation about British culture is very detailed. Appreciate your work!:)
    ALTHOUGH i would appreciate even more if you add English subtitles in convenience to foreign learners🙏🏻

    I love British slang and have been watching a lot of BBC things and our PBS (US) British series! Friend of mine went to Britain and said she couldn't understand a word! (?) You're so clear, very good teacher. Thank you.

  • @lilaalaoui5058

    Sometimes I stuck between pronunciation and breathing to say the word properly and these are important to connect speech

    Great video Eliot! One of the best so far. I've heard these expressions before, but i needed that introduction!

  • @am.m3033
    @am.m3033 Před 5 lety +1

    Same with me, I've always thought the word of just "sorry" is soo unprofessional, especially in any formal events & yes, "please" is a must in any way possible! Thank you so much!😍❤

    @mikim822 Před 4 lety +1

    I'm not a native English speaker, however, I've been speaking it everyday for about three years (one year in the US, the other two in Germany). Now, I have a combined accent of American English and German English (I know that you are probably processing it right now).
    To me, accent is one of the symbols of self. I like my unique accent :)
    Your videos popped up for no reason (but probably there is, in the logic of CZcams). And, learning English is not my goal anymore. It's switched to learning German ...
    Anywho, thanks for the video, I believe that you are a great English teacher and dude, YOU ARE HOT you know? ;)

    Hi Elliott,
    I find your videos nice and really useful. Also, I was wondering if you have one or will do one on when it is recommended using prepositions at the end of a sentence and when it is not (i.e. preposition stranding).
