A splendid video class. It is useful and practical in everyday life, especially in the workplace. Could you mind to talk about a polite way to give positive feedback or praise without being vulgar or inappropriate, for example: the proper way to use the words "dear" and "darling" or when someone insists on touching our shoulder or arm while is speaking? Thank you so much for helping us.
