so useful for Non-native English speakers working in an English-speaking country.
Thanks! Glad you think so!
Congrats, Derek! Very creative video. I imagine it's never easy to handle these situations for lots of people, even for some natives.
Javier López Orfila thanks, Javi! You’re absolutely right - can be quite tricky for native speakers too
Thanks Derek....very useful video

Dila Paruna thanks for the great feedback, Dila! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hi there! I just launched my first online course and the method with the dialogues is a big part of it. I remembered your comment, so I thought I'd let you know. Go and try the first module: derekcallan.teachable.com/p/make-small-talk-with-confidence
@@derekcallan-englishforpros thank you very much!! Will definitely check that out :D
thank you
No problem!
Very useful video. Learnt so.much today. Can you do a lesson on an interrupting facilitator of a meeting who continues to interrupt inspite of the mentioned techniques and also mocks you for making the point including at the end? Many thanks
So happy you learned a lot in this lesson! That’s a tough situation and a very specific request. I’ll do my best
Hi, I'm from Indonesia. I'm new here, I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing this useful video. I've watched it to the end. I had a question came to mind while watching this video, sorry it's not about interruptions/Handle Interruptions, it's about the word "turnover", You used the word in dialogue 3 of the video. I knew this must be a business word, then I searched the meaning, I kind of have impression what the meaning is, but I'm still confused with the another similar words like "profit", "revenue", and "turnover". They look similar. I hope next time you can make explanation about this. Lastly keep the way you deliver lessons, it gave positive vibes!
Sherlock Slinger thanks for the positive feedback, Sherlock 👍 turnover and revenue are more or less the same - the income a company generates from selling its products and services. Profit is turnover/revenue minus costs, taxes etc. good idea for a lesson - I’ll put it on my list 👍
Hi Derek! Gaby from Argentina again. 😊 I really enjoyed this video too. I was just thinking you might want to include a recap section at the end of your video including the phrases for interrupting extracted from the dialogues. I would also appreciate it if you would like to deal with formal versus informal ways of saying things. Living in a country where English is not the first language can be challenging in this respect. For instance, I've read that phrases like "Sorry to jump in" or "Sorry to butt in" are also used. However, are we EFL teachers really aware of how appropriate (or not) can such expressions be in a real life situation? Are the expressions frequently used? If so, what is the relationship between the speakers? I apologise beforehand if my comment is too long. I really love my profession and having the opportunity to share these thoughts with you is a blessing for me. Thank you very much for being there to read us. Look forward to reading you and seeing you. Big hug from Argentina. Gaby.
Hi Gaby, yes good point about the differences between informal and formal styles. Jump in and butt in are definitely common but would be more on the informal side. I'll try to include that in the lesson.
@@derekcallan-englishforpros 😍Thank you!
Derek, hello. Thank you for this valuable info. Can I say "I've finished" instead of "I'm finished"? do they mean the same.
Hi there! Hard for me to answer that without any context.
Both are more or less the same in the following context:
I’m finished with the work you gave me.
I’ve finished with the work you gave me.
@@derekcallan-englishforpros thanks
