Did you know that the words “yes” and “no”, when used alone, can make you sound rude and angry? In this English lesson, you’ll learn the secret of how to communicate these basic messages simply and politely. Take the free quiz after the lesson to test your knowledge.
thanks you very much for this polite english lesson:)
You’re welcome!

there’s something Rebecca says in this video “I’m going to BE leaving in a few minutes” that it’s the first time I hear it. I knew the other expression that she says “I’m leaving in a few minutes”. Does the 1st sentence mean something more or different than the 2nd one? Please help me, I’m a little confused.
Hi Gloria
Both sentences are correct and mean more or less the same thing.
Thanks for your interest and all the best to you.
I just can say “awesome”
I do not know how to thank all of you.
That’s a cool compliment, Omar. Thanks and all the best to you.

Hi Rebecca,
I have one question for you, it has nothing to do with this class. I studied English in Mexico, at school there I studied to take the CAE test, this was the last level students could reach. However, I have heard about other two tests the CPE and the IELTS.
I just would like to know which of these three exams is the most difficult and which one has the highest level accordind to the cambridge framework
Thank you so much.
The CPE is higher than the CAE, and is the most advanced exam that CAmbridge offers.
The IELTS has 2 versions — general and academic. The Academic is at a higher level, and is used for admission to English speaking universities, for example.
You can check the Cambridge ESOL website for more specific comparisons and info.
All the best to you.
Hi,
your lesson is so interesting and very creative.
Thanks, Luvia. Glad it helped you. All the best!

Thank you kindly. Our best wishes to you too and good luck with your English.
hi.rebecca; thanks alot for your lessons and iwould like to ask u about the expressions(when person said thank you? the answer ihad studied before is Not at all ) is it corect? and why you didnt held it in your lessons pls answered me
noticed that.> istudied english (LONG MAN CO )
Yes, Ashabi, you can certainly say “Not at all” in response to someone thanking you.
I did not include it in my lesson because I explained different ways to say thank you and not how to respond to the thank you!
Glad you are enjoying the lessons.
thanks you . it was great!
My pleasure. My best to you!
Hi, Rebecca!
I would like to ask if you are helping with writing?!
I mean, I need someone who could check my writing (essays) for mistakes, will you help me with that?
By the way, this website and youtube english lessons are great, thank you, and I look forward to get reply!

Thanks for your feedback. There are many excellent English language books available which can help you. Check with a local language school in your area to see what books are available and which are the most popular.
For grammar, I like to use Basic Grammar in Use

My best wishes to you, Mostafa.
Hello. Rebecca! Your lessons are very usefull for me! I always listeh attentive and try undrestand. Not always this comw out with ferst time!
Thank you!
Keep trying and you will succeed,Alenika.
My Best wishes to you.
Hi rebecca! I am from philippines.i am very eager to learn more. Im afraid to tell other people around me whats on my mind in english word because im afraid to be criticize. But with this site i am beginning to renew my confidence.
That’s wonderful! The best way to improve is to use whatever we know and learn from our mistakes, without feeling ashamed.
We communicate in so many ways, not only with our words. If your overall behaviour and body language is polite, people will understand if you make grammatical mistakes. You seem to be the kind of person who cares about other people anyway, so please relax and move forward confidently.
Keep smiling, too. That always helps! My best wishes to you.

Thank you
I found this site one of the best sites on the net
I need your guidance to the most important words to speak English fluently
Is it possible guideline for how to learn the important words spoken and preserved
hi…mam thank you for theSe great lessons..
i’ve just started visiting engvid.com all the lessons are very productive..
I’ve a question..the answers of 3rd and last question can be any other option also..selection of answer is based on, which has more politeness..HOPE I SUCCEEDED IN EXPLANING MY QUESTION..
I’ve a request also to teach us how to greet the guest while giving any speech or how to welcome and end the speech..hoping you’ll answer………
Namaste!
Yes, the correct answers in the quiz are the ones that are the most polite. The other answers are possible, just not the most polite options.
Thanks for your suggestions, Trivs.
thanks mam i really appreciated , i just fell deep in ur lessons cos they r very interesting
thanks once again , god bless you mam <3
Thanks so much for your kind feedback. My best wishes to you.
This is the exactly what I wanted to know. I always hesitate to say “No” in English. Now I can say “No” in different ways. Thank you very much.
Good for you for realizing that just saying no was awkward. All the best with your English, Toshi.
I loved the class, I just didn’t understand very well about the answer: no, I’m afraid. Could you give me more examples, please???
When we say, “I’m afraid not” it is simply another polite way of saying no.
For example,
A:Is Mr Smith in the office?
B:I’m afraid not.
It does not mean that you are afraid or scared or anything like that. It is just a polite expression to use in a business context especially, instead of saying no.
Hope this helps! My best to you, Lili.
Could you please tell me the correct pronunciation of the word ‘Thank you’ in British English?
thanks for your all helpful lessons plz tell me the usage of Like and Love
I like ice cream.
I love my mother.
Of course, some people really love ice cream too! Love implies a much stronger positive feeling than like.
All the best to you, Ayaz Ali.
Rebecca,
I really like EngVid it sounds like an English lesson with you, James, Ronnie, Alex and Valen.
Alex
You are the best Rebecca!!!
I have also thought that it would be useful if you could make a video about words which can be used instead of “good”. When we describe sth, we always using words like good, nice etc. However there are many other words such as “skilful,exciting etc”. Could you help us on that?!
Thank you !!
That’s not just a good idea…it’s a wonderful idea! Thanks!
My best to you,Sk.
Very useful lesson. Thank you very much, Rebecca!
well!It`s really good!!!!!

Hello teacher . Tankyou for your lesson I’m studying everyday at night,I love the class.
Rebecca is a great teacher.I like her so much. She is very very poilite and pronounce very well. I am a new learner from Pakistan.I think its the best website in the world to learn english.I will tell my friends about this website.But I would like to suggest to you,you should add some exercises about listning as well as slow pronounceation so asian also understand the accent. And I also to suggest to you,there would be some techniques to correct the spelings. I am very poor in spelling and I think there many people will be in the world.
Thans All the team of this website. perticulerly Rebecca.
Regards.
Yaseer Ahmad From Pakistan.

Nice lesson ..
ıt’s good.ı learn two words about say yes…thank u;)
Hi Rebecca ! Im really appreciate your lesson ! I have a presetation about the way of saying yes and no and I saw your lesson while searching for information.
In my book, there are stronger yes answers, weaker yes, stronger no, and weaker no. And in each section, they list some words; for example,
Stronger Yes : Absolutely, Definitely, For sure, Great, I’ll say etc
What I would like to ask if if the words become weaker in order, like Absolutely > Definitely > For sure > Great ect
Im looking forward to hearing from you soon. And hope that there would be a lesson about “Yes Maybe and No”. Thanks

Many thanks for your lesson. It is very useful for non-native English speakers.

Hello Rebecca,
I’ve recently found out your site and I really appreciate it.
I’m not so good at English yet. Well, I find quite easy to learn grammar. My problem is that sometimes I can’t understand all the words you’re speaking, although I understand the whole sentence meaning.
So I’d like to ask you how to improve this side of learning.
Thanks a lot Rebecca, you’re a really good teacher.
