YES
in English! Not all ways of saying yes
are equally strong in English. In fact, sometimes, when we say yes, we really mean no! How confusing! Due to the constraints of politeness, we are often forced to agree to something we disagree with. In this lesson, I will teach you all the different ways of saying yes
in English. You will learn how to tell the difference between a strong and certain “yes”, a neutral “yes”, and even a reluctant, passive aggressive “yes”. You should always say what you mean and mean what you say, but when that is impossible, try some of these different ways of agreeing even when you disagree!

Which of the two sentences is correct : appreciated or appreciate ? I used the translator but it’s not clear for me.
Thanks a lot Jade!!
I got 8/9 and wrong at numbe 5, i trully don’t understand the question, please tell me more. Thank Jade
The answer is clear. If you watch the video again, one of the ways to say yes is: “Be my guest”. And not my friend or sister or cousin. Remember the example about when you are in a restaurant and there’s an empty chair and a stranger wants to sit near you.

Excellent lesson Jade. But I don´t know why I can´t listen british accent as well as american one. When Ronnie, Emma, James, Alex and Rebecca speak, I can understand them easily. American english is more easiler for understanding or I guess my ear is american. Thanks Jade
Thank teacher!!!
Perfect!
Jade, your topic was quite interesting and teaching method as well. Before learning the different ways of expressing YES, I would use of YES in very limited ways of expression but it has now become easy to choose the word in right context. Thanks a lot. Next, I have to prepare myself in order to listen and understand your pronounciation. So it’s good!
Dear Jade,
your lessons and their topics are excellent. Tks.
Thank you :)
Amazing. Good job teacher!
Thank you.
Thank you, Jade!
-will you marry me?
-okey-dokey.
lol
8/9….Well, I think,the adequate answer for”9″ is “Do I have a choice?” But”Yes!” is passive aggressive ♪ ♫
Got a perfect score?
Hi Jade. I like your British accent. The way you speak and explain the class looks as if I am talking to you more than receiving a class instead. Thank you so much.
Thanks<3
10!! good exercise.
