If you work with English speakers, learning how to soften your English is extremely important.

Politeness and softening language are very different across cultures. Many students I've worked with get very confused when they work with native English-speakers because of all the softeners and polite expressions they have to use.

They feel frustrated because it seems like English-speakers get offended by everything they say.

That's why I've made this class. I don't want you to have this problem anymore.

In this class, we are going to learn four EXCELLENT ways to INSTANTLY make any sentence softer and more polite including...

Qualifiers

No...these lessons are interactive. Download he workbook that goes with the course and fill in notes as you go. Complete activities to practice what you've learned. You will finish this class not only knowing polite structures, but able to actually use them in the real world.
