How to Sound Polite in English

In this podcast episode I talk about politeness in English. Learn how to be polite in English. I'll teach you about culture and politeness in England (and the UK in general) and teach you some useful phrases and vocabulary to sound more polite when speaking in English.

Remember, culture is ingrained in language (depending on the variety you speak of that language and where you are living). What is regarded as polite in one culture may be rude in another. Politeness also differs across the UK, but we do have general "rules" that we follow, so take this episode as more of a general overview, as opposed to the "bible of politeness in the UK".

You are utterly charming . So glad I found your channel. I was fascinated listening 👂 to your scary ghost stories especially the one ☝️where you sensed an evil man in Bristol Odeon. Your expressive face makes a nice change as a lot of people are sometimes hard to read. Corinne x

So many subtle differences between the same language lol it's funny how different cultures clash in little ways all the time.

A joke about the magic word in French.
L'enfant : Je peux avoir du chocolat ?
Sa mère : et le mot magique ?
L'enfant reste silencieux.
Sa mère : s'il....
L'enfant : s'il en reste ?
The expected answer was s'il te plaît ^.^

Are you posh Emm? You certainly do a good mock up or should I say impersonation . I’m a Brit but I thoroughly enjoy your presentations. Thank you ☺️ Corinne from Brighton. You certainly aren’t cold.

[cozmarine]

Need to hear your mellifluous voice again very soon. Don’t worry I’m not Helen cx

[cozmarine]

Dear Emma. You make “what have you been up to” sound very naughty indeed, corinnex

[cozmarine]

I think they are talking about slagging of a person behind their back. I am English and I’ve noticed this is very common amongst our women tbh .
