Tim please do more shorts like this about polite conversations❤

[lucasfranco]

We that don't speak english, sometimes, we can be a few rude and don't be polite with others. So, it's very important to learn about this. Thank you, BBC ❤

[almazblanco]

In my view the audio is good enough. I can understand everything.

[elenaciccozzi]

what a gentleman! Thank you that's very helpful. I love the way Brits can say 'no' to you, and can still leave you with a pleasant feeling:-)

The rude one must be Tom, Tim's evil twin! He's always so impolite! Tom, say something like: "I'd love to come, but I'm going to a party with Geroge, Sian, and Neil. Maybe next time? If you tell me the date in advance, I should be able to come."

😊 I'm busy but I can come tomorrow because you are too handsome. 🤣 Is enough kindness good in conversation? 😂 or feeling bad? 😁

[catherinemoore]

That's the kind of politeness which can end up feeling a tad hypocritical... in a typical English way. 😉

[martinneumann]

Rude Tim = German style to say: “Oh, I’d like to come, but…

[raviperera]

A : Can't come tomorrow.
B : Why?
(Shouldn't B's reply be 'Why not?')

[zemskoy]

You could speak nothing, I have already excused you❤. Everyone, is it correct?😊

[Frshyd]

I Never can do it especially if a beautiful lady invite me 😂❤

[NhungHong-mxnm]

i'd love to come, but i won't be able to make it

[dyegorodriguez]

Then, they proceed to ask 5, 477, 543 questions about why you're not coming along

[rikabernar]

Ugh, neurotypical games of politeness.

[Wanderer]

I appreciate your invite, but there are matters I need to catch up on. Maybe next time!

[tammytsang]

I am afraid that I can’t make it. Perhaps we can get together next weekend?

[rochbacru]

Gringos are pretty fragil... "Can´t come tomorrow" is that... I can´t to come tomorrow... why be soft???

[sofiahabtemariam]

Firstly, I say thank you for the invitation then- I would love to come, but I won’t be able to make it very sorry. 2nd one I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it (I can’t make it.) Because of work or something else. Those are the most I used it. Thank you, BBC.🩵

I was wondering if maybe you could clip your microphone a bit higher, like on your collar, Tim. I can't seem to hear you very well, and the background noise is a bit loud.
