so sometimes we have groups of students
from the same school in another country
they come to London for a week or two
maybe a month to study intensive English
so a few years ago we had this one group
of Italian kids and they were super
super cool and their English teachers
they came to fun fact the students
English was much better than their
teachers English I don’t know how that
works so anyway one day my colleagues
the other teachers they came into the
break room and one of them’s like so
rude
I’m gods who those tallien teachers why
what did they do
haven’t you spoken term they’re like I
want this I need this Italians so rude
this isn’t because Italians are rude
maybe they are I’m not Italian I don’t
know Italians are you rude I don’t think
you are even if you are with that pizza
you can afford to be a little bit rude
it’s fine but yeah no this is this is a
language mistake of course is so if you
want something don’t simply say I want
this or I need this give me it that
sounds too direct
and impolite no one likes that instead
say these things
[Music]
first of all you always want to start
with a sorry I know we’re English we
always say sorry for everything
it’s kind of weird sorry about that
anyway if you’re near something and you
want this person to give you this thing
say this sorry can you pass me the thing
or sorry can you hand me the thing or a
bit less polite sorry can give me the
thing that one can sound a bit too
direct or impolite so be careful with
that one or you could say oh sorry can I
have the thing please of course
end with a please we are British we like
to be ridiculously polite now maybe you
want someone to do something which takes
a lot of effort maybe they have to go
far to get something maybe they have to
buy something in these situations it
always helps to be extra polite so say
this one sorry would you mind getting me
a would you mind this sentence this
structure is brilliant
it just means is it a problem to bla bla
bla but notice the grammar changes would
you mind the verb in Eng form would you
mind getting for example would you mind
going would you mind doing so their
answer if it’s not a problem they will
say no I don’t mind has fine or no it’s
a problem another really nice polite way
to ask for something is this ah sorry
can I trouble you for some help with
thing this one is less common but it
sounds very polite it sounds very nice
can I trouble you for blah blah blah or
can I trouble you too blah blah blah so
can I trouble you to try some of those
expressions in the comments please so be
polite please have fun
thank you for watching so much and now
I’m sorry for taking your time today
also sorry but would you mind
subscribing and sharing this video with
your friends please just if it’s not too
much trouble oh and also if you wouldn’t
