Business English Lesson - Using Diplomatic English at work (Learn English)

This Business English lesson deals with using diplomatic English language in a work environment to avoid coming off as too direct or rude or offensive and to tone down the harshness /unpleasantness of certain statements.

Tips & Tricks :

# Using Softeners : These "softeners" lessen the impact of a negative statement that may otherwise sound too direct .

Ex: Using "softeners" like " I'm afraid " or "to be honest " or "with all due respect " before a negative statement

#Using Modal Verbs :

These verbs lessen the impact of a command or request ; make it polite.

Ex: using modal verbs such as would , could , may or might in a command or order to lessen its impact .

#Rephrasing ​a negative sentence :

To make it sound more positive and acceptable to the work environment
Ex: Replacing words such as "can't " or "won't " with words such as " unable to "
Or
replacing words such as " am unhappy " with " not entirely happy " in a sentence to make it sound more positive .

I hope this Business English lesson has helped you to rephrase your English Vocabulary and avoid being too rude while speaking in English on a business environment.

Thank you... I'm so straight forward and completely unaware of diplomatic conversation at work place.. and its kind of started affecting my career. Even I am not that fluent in forming sentences in English like i can do in Hindi. Could you please suggest me something to improve it?

[cyberla]

These responses are terrible. If you haven’t finished the task — then just say “I can work on it right away and get it done by the end of the day.” Everyone is busy and working on many tasks. No need to say you haven’t done it blah blah blah.

[RizwanKhan_]
