How to Agree and Disagree at Work : English Speaking Conversation Practice - UK & US
Navigate Work Conversations with Ease: Agreeing and Disagreeing in English
🎧 Are you ever caught in a work conversation wondering how to express your disagreement without causing offense? Or perhaps you're looking to reinforce a colleague's point but want to sound more natural and confident? In our latest episode of High Level Listening, Kat and Mark are here to empower your workplace communications with a guide on how to agree and disagree professionally and politely in English.
In this episode:
👉 Kat Teacher introduces the nuanced art of expressing agreement or dissent in the workplace, offering phrases that are commonly used in both American and British English.
👉 Mark Teacher underscores the importance of communicating with colleagues candidly yet courteously, avoiding any hint of rudeness or unprofessionalism.
What to expect:
✅ Advanced vocabulary and expressions for agreeing and disagreeing at work
✅ Side-by-side American and British English examples
✅ Dialogue simulations for real-life practice
✅ Tips on maintaining professionalism while stating your opinion
📚 We’ll take you through a plethora of phrases for strongly agreeing, mildly disagreeing, and even how to politely bring a fruitless discussion to a close with phrases like "let's agree to disagree." Each phrase will be followed by a realistic dialogue to ensure you understand the context and can hear how each phrase flows in an actual conversation.

Hey Mark and Kat, these are flawless expressions. I feel the same way, and we are definitely on the same page here. Some people may disagree about that. Let's agree to disagree.

I have been joining and enjoying with you guys since about six months. Sorry for this late first comment. The phrases you taught us look easy, but they are difficult foreigners to make. These are amazingly useful. I’m going to practice and memorize well and use them others. ❤❤❤

In the example sentences they give to exemplify each word there is much more to learn than the word itself they are trying to clarify. I like that.

That’s great! Listening to the topic, I remember the book “How to talk to anyone “ by Leil Lowndes. So, in my opinion you are not only English teachers, but you also teach how to communicate properly. I think these ideas would help to improve family relations as well. I also think that this strong disagreement like “let’s agree to disagree “ doesn’t work in some situations in today’s world, unfortunately!

I couldn’t agree more, some people really don’t want to stop arguing 🙃🙃 so it makes it difficult to “agree to disagree”! In that case I usually tell people that I’m done with the conversation or I’m going to let it go and move on 👋 Thanks so much for joining us in class!
I like so mach your conversation ❤❤❤❤

I like to say "I don't agree" rather than "I disagree". both are good grammar, but it's just a preference.

Is it necessary to pick up the accent to sound professional?
@highlevellistening
14 күн бұрын
I don't think so, no. You don't need to hide your native accent and become completely American or British-sounding, the most important thing is to speaking clearly so that everyone can understand you. If you speak English with a bit of an accent from outside the US, UK, CAN, AUS, NZ etc. - that's totally fine as long as you can be understood by others! :)
