How to speak English politely
About course
For sure, you are not being rude on purpose. Stripes on trousers, eating sunflower seeds sitting on crouch, and rudeness - it’s not your thing. But when you switch to English, those stripes on your trousers triple. It all happens because being polite in English and being polite in Ukrainian are two different politenesses.
If you speak English as if you spoke your mother tongue, you’ll sound rather rude. So how to?
Good to know, saying please in a request is impolite. And if you know the answer to the question, you can’t say I do not know. And adjectives with negative connotations are meant to be rephrased. And a couple of other nuances.
All that you will cover within one short course. Learn English not for speaking but for communicating.
