0:05Hello and welcome back to Leo English
0:07podcast.
0:09>> Hi everyone. We're very happy you're
0:11here with us today.
0:13>> I'm Tina.
0:14>> And I'm Leo.
0:15>> On this channel, we help you speak
0:17English more naturally through easy real
0:20conversations.
0:22>> We want English to feel useful, clear,
0:25and much less stressful in daily life.
0:28>> Today, we talk about a very important
0:30topic for many adults and learners. We
0:33talk about how to speak better at work
0:35in English.
0:37>> Yes, this is a huge topic. Maybe you
0:40work in an office, a shop, a school, a
0:43restaurant, a hospital, or online. In
0:46many jobs, you need clear English every
0:49day.
0:50>> Exactly. You may need to greet
0:52co-workers, join meetings, ask
0:55questions, explain problems, share
0:57ideas, or talk to your manager.
1:00>> And sometimes you know the answer in
1:02your head, but your mouth says, "Sorry,
1:05loading."
1:06>> That happens to many people. So, today
1:09we will make work English simpler. We
1:12will teach useful phrases, easy
1:14patterns, and practical speaking habits
1:17you can use right away.

1:26miss our next lesson.
1:28>> Great.
1:29>> Let's get started.
1:32Leo, how are you today?
1:34>> I'm good, but I'm a little tired.
1:37>> Why are you tired?
1:38>> I had a long Monday. I joined three
1:41meetings, answered too many messages,
1:43and drank coffee too late.
1:46>> That sounds like a very real work day.
1:49>> Yes, at one point I smiled at my
1:51computer and said, "Please stop talking
1:54to me."
1:55>> Did the computer listen?
1:57>> No, the computer is not kind.
2:00>> I'm doing well today. My morning was
2:02calm. I made tea, wrote my to-do list,
2:05and prepared for the week.
2:07>> Very Tina. Calm, organized, and ready
2:10before 9:00 a.m.
2:12>> Thank you. What did you do this weekend?
2:15>> On Saturday, I met a friend who just
2:17started a new job.
2:19>> Oh, nice. How is it going for him?
2:22>> Pretty well, but he says the hardest
2:23part is not the work, it's speaking in
2:26meetings.
2:27>> That makes sense. Many people feel that
2:29way.
2:30>> Yes, he knows the job, but when it's
2:32time to speak, he gets nervous.
2:35>> I hear that problem a lot, too.
2:37>> What about you?
2:38>> I talked to a former student last
2:40weekend. She works in an international
2:42company, and she says small talk at work
2:44is hard for her.
2:46>> Really? Not the big presentation?
2:48>> No, just everyday speaking. Things like
2:51greeting people, asking quick questions,
2:54or joining a conversation at lunch.
2:56>> Speaking of everyday work speaking, that
2:59is exactly today's topic.
3:01>> Yes, today we talk about how to speak
3:04better at work in English, step-by-step.
3:09Let's start with a basic question. What
3:12does speaking better at work really
3:14mean?
3:15>> I think it means speaking clearly,
3:17politely, and confidently in common work
3:20situations.
3:21>> Exactly. It does not mean using
3:23difficult words all the time. It means
3:26being easy to understand and knowing
3:28what to say in the right moment.
3:30>> That already makes me feel better
3:32because difficult business words scare
3:34me a little.
3:35>> Many learners think work English must
3:37sound fancy, but in real life, clear
3:40English is often better than fancy
3:42English.
3:43>> So, short and clear beats long and
3:45confusing.
3:47>> Yes, very often. Let's begin with the
3:49first part of the work day, Greetings
3:52and small talk.
3:53>> Ah, yes, the hallway English.
3:56>> Exactly. When you arrive at work, you
3:59can say, "Good morning. How's your day
4:01going? How was your weekend?" Or, "Did
4:04you have a busy morning?"
4:05>> Those are simple, but very natural.
4:08>> Yes, and these short conversations help
4:11build comfort with co-workers.
4:13>> I sometimes worry that small talk is not
4:15important.
4:16>> It is important. It builds connection.
4:19People often work better together when
4:21they feel comfortable with each other.
4:23>> That makes sense. So, if I walk into the
4:25office, I can say, "Morning. How are
4:27you?"
4:28>> Perfect. And if someone says, "I'm good,
4:31just a little busy," you can respond,
4:33"Yeah, same here." Or, "I hope the day
4:36gets easier."
4:37>> "I hope the day gets easier" sounds
4:39warm.
4:40>> Yes, it's friendly and natural.
4:42>> What if I work online and not in an
4:44office?
4:46>> The same idea works. In a video call or
4:48chat, you can say, "Good morning,
4:50everyone. Hope you're doing well." Or,
4:53"How's everyone doing today?"
4:55>> Ah, that's useful. Online work still
4:57needs human English.
4:59>> Exactly. Now, let's move to meetings,
5:02because this is where many learners feel
5:04nervous.
5:05>> Yes, meetings are where my brain
5:07sometimes leaves the building.
5:09>> That is a common feeling. Let's make
5:12meetings simple. There are a few key
5:14jobs in a meeting: Joining politely,
5:17sharing an idea, asking a question,
5:20agreeing, disagreeing, and asking for
5:23clarification.
5:25>> That sounds organized. I like
5:26categories. It makes me feel less lost.
5:29>> Good. First, joining the conversation.
5:33If you want to speak, you can say, "Can
5:35I add something?" "I'd like to share an
5:37idea." Or, "Can I say something here?"
5:40>> "Can I add something?" feels easy to
5:42remember.
5:43>> Yes, it is simple and useful. You can
5:46also say, "I just want to add one
5:48point."
5:49>> That sounds professional.
5:51>> It does. Now, if you want to ask a
5:53question in a meeting, you can say, "Can
5:56I ask a quick question? What do you mean
5:59by that? Could you explain that a little
6:01more? Or just to be clear, what is the
6:04deadline?"
6:05>> Wait, what does deadline mean exactly?
6:08>> A deadline is the final date or time
6:12when work must be finished.
6:14>> Right. So, I can say, "Just to be clear,
6:16the deadline is Friday at 5:00 p.m.,
6:19right?"
6:20>> Exactly. That is a very useful meeting
6:23sentence.
6:24>> I noticed "just to be clear" comes up a
6:26lot.
6:27>> Yes, because it helps you check
6:29understanding in a polite way.
6:31>> That's good. Sometimes I understand 80%
6:35but not the important 20%.
6:37>> Then you should ask. That is much better
6:40than staying silent and making a mistake
6:42later.
6:43>> True. Silence feels safe in the moment
6:45but dangerous later.
6:47>> Exactly. Now, let's talk about sharing
6:50opinions.
6:51>> Okay.
6:52>> You can say, "I think we should start
6:54with the smaller task. Or in my opinion,
6:58this option is better. I feel this plan
7:01is more realistic. Or maybe we can try a
7:04different approach."
7:06>> Approach means way or method, right?
7:09>> Yes, exactly. A way of doing something.
7:12>> I like "maybe we can try a different
7:14approach." It sounds polite, not too
7:16strong.
7:17>> That's why it works well. You can be
7:19clear without sounding aggressive.
7:22>> What if I agree with someone?
7:24>> Then you can say, "I agree. That makes
7:27sense. I think that's a good idea. I'm
7:30on the same page. Or I see your point."
7:33>> "I'm on the same page" is great. What
7:35does it mean exactly?
7:37>> It means you understand or agree in the
7:39same way.
7:40>> So, if my manager says, "Let's finish
7:43the client report first." I can say,
7:46"Yes, I'm on the same page."
7:48>> Exactly. What about disagreeing? That
7:51feels scary at work.
7:53>> It can feel scary, yes. But, you can
7:55disagree politely. For example, "I see
7:59your point, but I have a different
8:00view." Or, "I'm not sure that will work.
8:04That could be difficult." Or, "Maybe we
8:07should consider another option."
8:09>> That sounds much better than "No, that's
8:11wrong."
8:12>> Much better. I guess tone matters a lot
8:15at work.
8:16>> It really does. Work English often
8:18depends on soft, clear language.
8:21>> Soft, but clear.
8:23>> Exactly. Soft, but clear.
8:26>> That's an important difference.
8:28>> Another big part of speaking better at
8:30work is asking for help.
8:32>> Yes, many people are afraid to ask.
8:35>> That's true. But, asking for help
8:37clearly is a strength. You can say,
8:40"Could you help me with this? I'm not
8:42sure how to do this part. Do you have a
8:44minute?" Or, "Can you walk me through
8:47this?"
8:48>> Wait, what does walk me through this
8:50mean exactly?
8:52>> It means explain something step-by-step.
8:55>> Ah, I love that phrase. Very useful.
8:58>> Yes. For example, "Can you walk me
9:00through the new system?" Or, "Could you
9:03walk me through this report?"
9:04>> I think people need that phrase on their
9:06first week at a job.
9:08>> Definitely.
9:10Now, let's talk about giving updates
9:12because that happens all the time at
9:14work.
9:15>> Oh, yes. The classic "Where are we on
9:17this?"
9:18>> Exactly. Common update phrases are, "I'm
9:21working on it now." "I'm almost
9:23finished." "I need a little more time."
9:26"I'm waiting for feedback." "I sent it
9:28this morning." Or, "I'm still checking
9:31the numbers."
9:32>> Those phrases are gold.
9:34>> They are very practical. If your manager
9:37asks for progress, you do not need a
9:39long speech. Short, clear updates are
9:42best.
9:43>> So, I can say, "I finished the first
9:45draft, and I'm checking it now."
9:47>> Perfect.
9:48>> Or, "I'm waiting for the client's reply,
9:51so I can't move forward yet."
9:53>> Excellent. Move forward is another very
9:57common work phrase.
9:58>> That means continue to the next step.
10:01>> Yes, exactly.
10:02>> Nice. What about when I make a mistake?
10:05>> Also important. If you make a mistake,
10:08clear and honest English helps. You can
10:11say, "I'm sorry, I missed that." Or,
10:14"That was my mistake. I understand the
10:16problem. I'll fix it today." Or, "Thanks
10:19for pointing that out."
10:21>> "Thanks for pointing that out" sounds
10:22mature.
10:23>> It does. It shows you're listening, not
10:26just defending yourself.
10:28>> That is hard sometimes, honestly.
10:30>> It is hard for many people, but calm
10:32language helps. You can also say, "I see
10:35what happened." Or, "I'll be more
10:37careful next time."
10:39>> I like that. It sounds responsible.
10:41>> Exactly. Now, let's talk about speaking
10:44up, because many learners stay quiet
10:47even when they have good ideas.
10:49>> Oh, I know that feeling.
10:51>> Really?
10:52>> Yes. Sometimes I think of an idea, but I
10:55wait too long. Then the meeting moves
10:57on.
10:57>> That happens a lot. One useful habit is
11:00to prepare one or two simple phrases
11:02before a meeting. For example, "I have a
11:05small suggestion." Or, "Can I add
11:08something here?"
11:09>> So, I don't need to create the sentence
11:11and panic.
11:12>> Exactly. Preparation lowers stress.
11:15>> That makes a lot of sense.
11:17>> You can also write a few keywords before
11:19the meeting. Then, when it is time to
11:21speak, you already know your main point.
11:23>> I do that, too, actually.
11:25>> Good. What kind of notes do you write?
11:27>> Very short notes. Maybe three words,
11:30like client feedback, budget problem,
11:33Friday deadline.
11:34>> That is perfect. Short notes help you
11:36stay focused.
11:38>> What about presentations? Is speaking
11:40better at work also about presentations?
11:43>> Yes, but even simple presentation
11:45English matters. You can use phrases
11:47like, "Today I want to talk about three
11:50things. First, let's look at the
11:52problem. Next, I'll share our plan. And
11:55finally, I'll talk about the timeline."
11:58>> Timeline means the plan time for each
12:00step?
12:01>> Exactly.
12:02>> I like those structure phrases. They
12:04help the listener.
12:05>> They do. Organized speech is easier to
12:08understand.
12:09>> Very speaker one sentence.
12:11>> Thank you.
12:12>> What if I work in customer service or
12:14talk to clients a lot?
12:15>> Then polite speaking becomes even more
12:18important. Useful phrases are, "How can
12:21I help you today? Let me check that for
12:23you. I understand your concern. I'm
12:26sorry for the delay. And thank you for
12:28your patience."
12:30>> "Thank you for your patience" is such a
12:31good phrase.
12:32>> Yes, it sounds more positive than only
12:35saying sorry again and again.
12:38>> That's true. It feels calmer.
12:40>> Another key skill is clarification. If
12:43you do not understand, do not guess.
12:46>> Yes, guessing at work can become
12:48expensive.
12:49>> Exactly. You can say, "Sorry, could you
12:52repeat that? Do you mean this part? Can
12:55you give me an example?" Or, "Let me
12:57make sure I understand."
12:59>> I really like "Let me make sure I
13:01understand."
13:02>> It's a strong phrase. It sounds careful
13:04and professional.
13:06>> Professional. Wait, what does that mean
13:08in this context?
13:09>> Here, professional means appropriate,
13:13respectful, and suitable for work.
13:15>> So, professional English is not about
13:17sounding cold, it's about sounding clear
13:20and respectful.
13:21>> Exactly. That is a very important point.
13:24>> Can we talk about confidence for a
13:26minute?
13:26>> Of course.
13:27>> I think many people believe they need
13:29confidence first and then they can speak
13:31better.
13:32>> But often it works the other way. You
13:34speak a little, then confidence grows.
13:37>> That's interesting.
13:38>> Confidence often comes after action, not
13:41before action.
13:43>> So if I wait to feel fully ready, I may
13:45wait forever.
13:46>> Exactly.
13:47>> That feels very true at work.
13:49>> It is true in many parts of life. At
13:52work, small speaking wins matter. A
13:55short question, one clear update, one
13:58good comment in a meeting. Those moments
14:01build confidence slowly.
14:03>> I remember my first English meeting in
14:05an old job.
14:06>> How did it go?
14:08>> Honestly,
14:09not great.
14:10>> What happened?
14:12>> My manager asked, "Any thoughts?" I had
14:15thoughts, many thoughts, but I said,
14:18"No, I'm okay."
14:20>> Ah.
14:21>> Then after the meeting, I thought of
14:23three simple sentences I could say.
14:26>> That is such a common experience.
14:29>> Yes. After that, I made a rule. In every
14:32meeting, I would say at least one
14:34sentence.
14:35>> That is an excellent rule.
14:38>> At first, it was small. I agree with
14:40that. That makes sense. Can we check the
14:42deadline? But it helped.
14:45>> That is exactly how growth works.
14:48>> Do you have a personal example, too?
14:50>> Yes. Early in my career, I sometimes
14:53used long sentences because I wanted to
14:55sound smart.
14:57>> Really?
14:58>> Yes. But my message became less clear.
15:02Later, I learned that simple structure
15:04works better. Say the point, give one
15:07reason, and stop.
15:09>> That is such good advice.
15:11>> For example, instead of speaking for 2
15:14minutes, I now say, "I think we should
15:17change the order. The client needs this
15:19part first." Clear and direct.
15:22>> I love that.
15:24>> Work English often improves when you
15:26remove extra words.
15:28>> That's a powerful lesson. Less can be
15:31better.
15:32>> Very often, yes.
15:34>> So, if we make a simple pattern for
15:36better work speaking, what is it?
15:39>> Here's a good one. First, understand the
15:42situation. Second, choose a simple
15:45phrase. Third, say your point clearly.
15:49Fourth, ask a follow-up question if
15:51needed.
15:52>> I like that. Situation, phrase, point,
15:56follow-up.
15:58>> Exactly.
15:59>> Can we do one full example?
16:01>> Of course. Let's imagine a team meeting.
16:05>> Okay.
16:06>> Your manager says, "We need to finish
16:08this by Friday. Any questions?"
16:11>> I can say, "Yes, just to be clear, is
16:14the deadline Friday morning or Friday
16:16afternoon?"
16:18>> Perfect.
16:19>> Then, if a co-worker shares an idea, I
16:22can say, "That makes sense. I'd like to
16:24add one point."
16:26>> Excellent.
16:27>> And if I don't understand something, I
16:29can say, "Sorry, could you explain that
16:32part again?"
16:33>> Very good.
16:34>> Wow, that actually feels possible.
16:38>> It is possible. Better work English is
16:41not magic. It is practice with simple,
16:44useful patterns.
16:46>> That is a very good place to end this
16:48part.
16:50>> You know, while we were talking, we used
16:53many useful words.
16:54>> Yes, and these are words people can
16:56really use at work.
16:58>> Exactly. Let's review 10 key words and
17:01phrases from today's lesson.
17:03>> Let's do it.
17:04>> First word, professional. This means
17:07appropriate, respectful, and suitable
17:09for work.
17:10>> Oh, yes, important word.
17:12>> Exactly. For example, her tone is
17:15professional and clear. Another sentence
17:17is, "You don't need difficult words to
17:20sound professional."
17:21>> And you can also say, "I want to sound
17:23professional in meetings."
17:25>> Very good. A useful note is that
17:27professional does not mean cold. It
17:29means clear and respectful.
17:32What helps you sound more professional?
17:34>> Usually short, calm sentences help me a
17:37lot.
17:38>> Next phrase, check in. This means ask
17:41how things are going or how someone is
17:43doing.
17:44>> Right. We talked about that with
17:45co-workers.
17:46>> Exactly. For example, "I check in with
17:49my team every morning." Another sentence
17:51is, "My manager checks in with me once a
17:54week."
17:54>> And you can also say, "I send a short
17:56message just to check in."
17:58>> Perfect. A related idea is staying
18:01connected. Who do you usually check in
18:04with at work?
18:05>> Usually my teammate on shared projects.
18:08>> Next phrase, speak up. This means say
18:11your thoughts instead of staying silent.
18:13>> Important for shy people. Also for me.
18:16>> Yes. For example, "I try to speak up in
18:19meetings." Another sentence is, "She has
18:22a good idea, but she doesn't speak up."
18:24>> And you can also say, "I speak up more
18:27when I prepare first."
18:29>> Excellent. A helpful tip is to prepare
18:31one sentence before the meeting.
18:34When is it hardest for you to speak up?
18:36>> When the meeting moves very fast.
18:38>> Next phrase, on the same page. This
18:42means understanding or agreeing in the
18:44same way.
18:45>> Great phrase for work.
18:47>> Exactly. For example, "Let's make sure
18:50we're on the same page." Another
18:52sentence is, "The team is on the same
18:54page about the deadline."
18:56>> And you can also say, "I think we're on
18:58the same page now."
18:59>> Very good. This phrase is about shared
19:02understanding. When do you use it most?
19:05>> When we plan projects together.
19:07>> Next word, deadline. This means the
19:10final time something must be finished.
19:12>> Very common work word.
19:14>> Yes. For example, the deadline is Friday
19:17at 5:00 p.m. Another sentence is, I
19:20always check the deadline before I
19:22start.
19:23>> And you can also say, this deadline
19:25feels too short.
19:27>> Perfect. A useful tip is to ask for the
19:29exact time, not only the day. What do
19:32you do first when you hear a deadline?
19:35>> I write it down right away.
19:37>> Next phrase, follow up. This means ask
19:40again later or continue after the first
19:43message or meeting.
19:44>> Oh, yes. This one is everywhere at work.
19:47>> Exactly. For example, I'll follow up
19:50tomorrow. Another sentence is, she
19:52follows up after every meeting.
19:54>> And you can also say, I send a short
19:57email to follow up.
19:58>> Perfect. A related idea is stay

20:06client.
20:07>> Next word, polite. This means showing

20:52>> And you can also say, sorry to
20:54interrupt, but the client is on the

21:00interrupting is necessary, but tone

22:50Okay, that was a lot of talking about
22:52speaking better at work.
22:54>> Yes, my meeting brain is tired, but in a
22:58useful way.
22:59>> That is a good sign. Let's think about
23:01what we learned.
23:03>> Yes, please organize it for us.
23:05>> First, we learned that better work
23:07English starts with clear, simple
23:10language. We use phrases like, "Good
23:13morning. How's your day going?" and "Can
23:16I ask a quick question?"
23:17>> Then we talked about meetings. We
23:19learned useful lines like, "Can I add
23:22something?" "Just to be clear." and
23:24"Could you explain that a little more?"
23:26>> After that, we covered sharing opinions
23:29and disagreeing politely. We use phrases
23:32like, "I think we should That makes
23:35sense." and "Maybe we should consider
23:38another option."
23:39>> Then we talked about asking for help and
23:42giving updates. We learned lines like,
23:44"Could you help me with this?" "Can you
23:46walk me through this?" and "I'm still
23:48working on it."
23:49>> After that, we looked at mistakes,
23:52clarification, and confidence. We used
23:55phrases like, "That was my mistake.
23:57Thanks for pointing that out." and "Let
24:00me make sure I understand."
24:02>> Finally, we learned that strong work
24:04speaking does not need perfect English.
24:07It needs clear ideas, polite tone, and
24:10small daily practice.
24:12>> Exactly. If you can greet people, ask
24:16questions, give updates, and speak up
24:18with one simple point, you are already
24:21improving a lot.
24:22>> Yes, better work English is not one
24:25giant jump. It's many small, clear
24:28sentences.
24:29>> That is a wonderful summary.
24:33Now, we want to hear from you. This is
24:35our favorite part.
24:37>> Yes, because your answers always help
24:39other learners, too.
24:41>> Our question of the day is, "What is one
24:43English phrase you want to use more at
24:45work?" and "Why?"
24:47>> My answer is, "Just to be clear."
24:50because it helps me check details
24:52without sounding rude.
24:53>> My answer is, "Can I add something?"
24:56because it's simple and useful in
24:58meetings.
24:59>> See, we have different answers and
25:01that's okay.
25:02>> So viewers, we want to know about you.
25:05What work phrase feels most useful for
25:07your life? Maybe it is for meetings,
25:10updates, small talk, asking for help, or
25:12talking to customers.
25:14>> Please tell us in the comments.
25:16>> You can write, "One English phrase I
25:19want to use more at work is blank
25:22because blank."
25:23>> Or, "My favorite work phrase from today
25:26is blank. I can use it when blank."
25:29>> Or, "At work, I want to practice saying
25:32blank more often."
25:34>> You can keep your answers short or add a
25:36real work situation.

26:15clear English is often better than
26:17complicated English.
26:19>> Yes, one calm, useful sentence can do a
26:22lot.
26:23>> All right. Have a wonderful day,
26:25evening, and night.
