I watch Oxford Online English videos almost everyday. It helps not only improving my English but also other social skills. This is the most useful channel on Youtube in my opinion. Thanks a lot from Vietnam!

The best English negotiation course I have ever seen, thanks a lot!

This video is extremely useful for me as a Master's student enrolled in a Business Negotiation course where our instructors are very strict due to their extensive professional experience. I am always nervous in class because we have a twice-weekly negotiate assessment during tutorials. I expect that this video will help me gain confidence and obtain an acceptable mark. I will update once I have completed my course.

I'm from Germany and we are doing an English Negotiation in class. Germans are really direct, but we have to talk indirectly and as formal as possible. It's really difficult to turn from direct into indirect talking, but I will do my best and practice a lot. This video was definitely helpful, I wrote some phrases down. Thank you!

This video is very helpful. It teaches not only how to use English phrases but also the strategy of negotiations. I've never worked in business and now I've seen an example of negotiations . I learned how to use indirect phrases and how to come to a compromise
