Are you using submissive language?
In this video, I will teach you to identify whether you have adominant or submissive style of speaking English. I’ll also teach you how to adapt your speaking style if you wish to be either more assertive (dominant) or obliging (submissive) in the future. If you have a dominant style of speaking English, you are someone who takes control of a situation and who isn’t afraid to ask directly for the things you want. On the other hand, a person who uses submissive language has difficulty putting themselves first in any life situation. If you are someone who speaks English in a submissive way, you may find it difficult to achieve your goals in life, although on the positive side, you may speak in a polite and courteous manner.

06/06 :). Thank a lot Jade for the valuable lesson. <3
I got 4/6, I am quite sad but I will try better next time. Thank Jade
Great advice Jade, it’s good to see you made a video. By the way, you look amazing.
About Dobby, he must be really sensitive Elf and on top of all that he has to deal with all that abuse and trauma…
Poor guy, maybe one day he will meet a female house Elf named Debby.. who might show him that he is worth more than what he believes.
My favorite part of this lesson, was watching you come to realize that in a way he is watching himself from the outside. Very interesting…
I hope you will make more videos, more often… when you have the time.
I really loved the class! Please do more videos, that one made me think about the way that I use english, Thanks! :*

Jade, your class regarding using submissive language while talking with others is very beneficial for me where I’m discharging my duties right now. So I’m obliged to you by your lesson. The most interesting thing for me today is to watch Harry Potter movie to learn submissive language how it is being used in that movie. Thank you very much and love British accent.

Thank you, Jade!
I think house-elf is not political correct word anymore in December 2021.
Super. Thanks.
Hope people got the correct message because using this expressions creates a more positive environment at work. Believe me,there are certain nationalities that treat colleagues like slaves because they don’t have any idea of what you call “submissive language”. I will always prefer to sound “submissive” than rough and arrogant just to show confidence or authority and power. Of course it depends on the context and people you are working with but your message is confused. Anyway, useful video to know others perspectives.
Excelent
