This channel is to share our passion for English (and hearty English breakfasts ;-) )
I've been teaching for quite a while, roughly 15 years, and I feel particularly comfortable working in General & Business English, Talent Team in HR and recruitment, finance and accounting. Together with my students, we polish their presentations, public speeches, refine their pronunciation and work on stress management methods. I believe the ideal course arouses curiosity and, above all, is a precise answer to the needs of the student. A few years ago I co-founded Add Value Language Centre, a business language school, where together with over 100 teachers we create language courses for business.

"Sympathetic" doesn't mean "nice" or "friendly" in English. Did you know that?
Переглядів 8003 роки тому
The English word ”sympathetic" doesn’t mean ”nice” or "friendly in English." These words are false friends. It means you might think they mean one thing when in fact they mean another. In this video, we are going to have a closer look at them to help you get them right. #SorryGregory #Sympathetic #FalseFriends #SpeakEnglishBetter

Hi, there is no need to say "to you" if you recommend that to me :) Sometimes your sentences are grammatically correct, but they just don't sound natural.
Apologise FOR + Verbing. Apologise TO + Person. I apologise for being this morning. I apologise for arriving late this morning. I apologise for not coming to your sister's wedding last weekend. I apologise for my mail last week. I should have apologised to Mary for my mistake. I apologise for the rude interruption. Hope so everything is correct sir. 😊😃
I prefar your chenal to another UA-cam channel
Thanks a lot :) I'm glad to hear that and hope it helps.
Thanks for this video - very useful! :)

I had a little conversation with someone i said the same way but i still was confuse so here it goes, thank you so much
Brilliant! Happy it helps
I look forward to seeing your next videos 😊😊😊
Thanks a lot :) hope to upload a new video soon :)
Why do you say let's get started and not let's start
"Let's get started" means "Let's start." E.g. “Is everyone here? OK, let's get started.” It somehow sounds friendlier and more natural to use the phrase "get started" instead of just "start". People use this phrase a lot at work, at conferences, during meetings, and so on.
@@sorrygregory-yourchannelto6658 Thanks for your reply
Can we use prefer over??
The use of “prefer OVER” in place of “prefer TO” (as in “I prefer apples over oranges”) is a relatively recent phenomenon (the expression only started gaining a little bit of ground in American literature in the 1940s and was almost non-existent in British literature until around 1980). Nonetheless, prefer TO 10x MORE common than “prefer OVER”. It is worth mentioning, however, that “over” has become quite popular in connection with “prefer” in the passive voice. For instance, "This policy is preferred to/over that policy." Still, prefer TO is much more popular than prefer OVER :) Hope it helps.
Well, I have a question What's the different between I prefer drinking Tea and I prefer to drink Tea ???
Hey. The difference is so slight that it is ignored by most people, including native speakers. You can use both forms interchangeably. The below is probably the answer to your question: - We prefer TO stay in a hotel (eg. instead of staying in a flat) - We prefer stayING in a hotel (we have already spent some time in a hotel)

Hi, Greg here👋 Do you find this clip handy? Did you know all the alternatives to "You are welcome"?
Co trzeba zrobić aby nauczyć się takiego akcentu? Mieszkasz na stałe w kraju anglojęzycznym?
Hi👋 I’m a Pole living in 🇵🇱. I have been to 🇬🇧 a few times, and I love it to bits🙂 Akcentu brytyjskiego można nauczyć się słuchając Brytyjczyka a następnie próbując powtórzyć to co powiedział. Słuchaj BBC jak najwięcej/ można oglądać brytyjskie seriale/ słuchać podcasty i staraj się imitować sposób mówienia tych osób. Wiele zależy od Twojego poziomu startowego. Przede wszystkim, staraj się mówić jak najwięcej, żeby uzyskać łatwość mówienia. W Add Value zajmujemy się także tym obszarem- zwłaszcza w kontekście branżowym. Wg mnie akcent nie jest najważniejszy, grunt to skutecznie się porozumieć 😉
