Wow I love every video you make, that's so much content that I need to repeat it lot of times in order to assimilate and internalize everything. I am seeking a way for improving my English skills on communicating. Unless I am able for understanding almost everything I hear, I find it so difficult for memorizing new information and reproducing them... Sincerely I feel I kind of stuck in a level that I can't go further ( or maybe I am just a little exagerated because it lasts only 3 months since I returned for my studies on English Language, :D)

Technique number 3seemed more compelling to me: minimize negative connotations through the use of qualifies. My example: My daughter wrote an essay about Pushkin and asked my opinion. I told her: "This is a good job, although you could decorate it with a large number of examples"
Positive communication is so powerful. So far in my life, I have met only few people that use Positive communication. If we all know how to use PC the world will be at peace. Thank you so much for bringing up this subject.
Your speaking skills are so exciting, i observe that you're using great speaking skills voice clarity is superb and understanding sentences are so easy
You look so elegant and speaks with finesse. I am glad to have found your channel and your inputs helped me on dealing with my students especially this evening, I was able to give a more positive feedback to my student. I am very happy I found this video just in time. I hope you could also have a video for newly hired employees, how to speak the corporate/ professional way like how to ask a co worker when your unsure of certain tasks without sounding too clingy . Or how can one blend more easily with the new people or a new boss. Or how to ace a business presentation perhaps. Thank you so much and more power to you Ms. Annemarie.
Thanks so much for the comment, Charlie! I'm glad this was timely and helpful. Also, I appreciate the suggestions! I'll certainly look at adding future lessons on those topics.

It's wonderful watching you Madam. Your vedios are changing the spectrum of communication for me as I am not good communicator. It gives Wow feeling. I appreciate your efforts.
Wow it's very useful for me and people in works, not like other video clips about daily but in works station and more powerful to present what we feel on case or deal with different ppls there. It's great and I love to follow on going.
I teach English to students on-line from all over the world. I have only discovered your channel this week and I love it. I have already referred many of my students to your channel for self study. Keep up your great work. Your eyes portray such a feeling of kindness and trust.
Now, the culture of communication has become more clear and open, like the moon on the full moon day. I appreciate your time and effort. I just waited to learn English and German and express freely my honest thoughts.
As English is not my first language, I might not finding the right words that describe how much I appreciate your efforts to simplify the process of educating your audiences, especially the commitment of the weekly new creative clear video every Wednesday makes me respect you more. I'm listening to each word you're saying and I feel that I understand them all even if i don't know the meaning of many of them. Thank you. 🎁
Thanks a lot for the video. It's great video to improve our communication skills especially in writing. Using those strategies may help us to avoid any harm to people and get what we need in peaceful way without causing any kind of stress to others. We are looking to see more videos on ppstive communication especially the writing one.
Dear Annemarie, I would like to thank you for such a wonderful generous teaching session you hold for us, we really appreciate it, it’s changing the way I communicate at work , I learned to be polite and professional. I always watch you every time I’m doing my assignments and I’m getting a lot from you, ❤👌🙏👌💝❤️
The "I know the initial approach wasn't successful"... example gave me pause for a way I mishandled a correction yesterday of staff. Thank you for the tools on how to deliver that message from now on. Your lessons are great for native English speakers as well.
You are a great teacher. I have learned a lot from your videos. English is my second language so I always struggle. I understand English very well and speak well too but I’m not good at writing. I wanted to improve my writing skills.. if you can gave any ideas on how to improve my writing skills I will be very grateful.. thank you ❤

Hi Annemarie, I'm watching you from Tehran and a big fan. Can you please make a video on how to properly speak in an online PhD submission session? I would appreciate greatly. Thank you.
As always no words can express how valuable your lessons are and how gratitude I am. This is another great lesson for the positive communication at work and on teams. We are in the middle of end-year performance review and 360 feedback process now, and this lesson is a huge help to smooth those process. I especially like the strategies of "embracing negative forms of positive words" and "using ' I 'and validating 'you' " . I will implement them more in my day-to-day communication.
I love your videos because I´m looking for a strategy for talking with my clients. Also, I love how videos are edited are very communicative. Do you mind telling me what is your editing program?
Hi Olga, thanks for the question. To clarify, are you asking if it's possible to use these techniques in emails? If so, the answer is certainly. You can use these in writing as well as in speaking.
Hello, Annemarie Thanks again for this useful lesson. Positive communication isn´t useful and effective at work but also in a lot of situations in life. It makes life a little bit easier and nicer.
Many times, I felt that I could not realize what people said actually were rude until later around, my instincts told me that person wasn't friendly. Or, sometimes I could feel the person wasn't friendly speaking but I didn't know how to respond assertively without obviously offending someone who was rude to me. That has been a huge problem.
Thanks for your videos. I’ve always been struggling with speaking professionally and politely. I came from a very direct culture and people tend to speak their minds so it’s quite a change for me
Frankly, this woman has changed my level in English drastically I have started with her just almost five months from now.
