Lucy is the last Glory left from the once Glorious British Empire 🇬🇧🥲

Surprisingly for me, I know 50% of phrases. I am not in business and my level is B2. Thanks Lucy!

You know, I follow your channel not because of your choice of words but the additional inputs you give like synonyms/antonyms or enunciation you provide. Not boasting, but A-game is a take away for me. Cheers😊

I daily watch you videos and now my English is amazing because of your videos Teacher lucy😊✨

Good Morning Lucy from Detroit, Michigan. I was very surprised to discover I have used all 15 at some point in my sales career. But, I never gave much thought to these phrases being "professional English. Thank you for making my day. :)

HI WIFE TEACHER LUCY! 🙃

Miss! You missed one. “Mind your own business.” 😀

Mam your the best English tutor ❤❤😊😊😊ever.😊😊❤❤

It appears that my knowledge of professional phrases is small, but I will improve! ;)

Greetings from Middle East ,exactly from YEMEN.🇾🇪🇾🇪

I know every phrase except the first one ”touch base”. Kind of frightening when you started with that one, I thought I was in for a rude awakening.

Thanks! It was helpful.

It was a helpful video, want more like this video. ❤ Best English teacher

Uzbeklar goooooo

Thank you for the enriching content. It is highly beneficial for learners like myself. The phrase 'touch base' is new to me. Thank you once again! ❤💓

All of them, although with the first one I am more used to saying the alternatives. Always so much fun to watch and learn! Question @EnglishwithLucy , do you do C2 level English programmes? I am mostly at C2 Proficiency but still would like to be more fluent, use more variety in vocabulary. Or is this just a case of keeping up the practise, lots of conversation and reading to pick up new words?

I know only one phrase among them. I think i should learn more phrasal words. It would be amazing lesson if you made another video about advanced pharasal expressions.❤❤❤

I haven't got your c1 level ebook.do you mind to sand it?

Hello! I am Spanish and I have lived in England for 13 years. Now that I am back in Spain I hear "minutes of meeting" all the time (abbreviated MoM). But in England I used to say "meeting minutes". Minute of meeting just sounds weird to me, but Google says it's ok to use. What's your view as a native speaker ? Thanks!

Hello from Australia. In Australian English I really disagree with your phrases: very Americanised. I would not use these in English. Thank you so much. Christopher

I knew all 15, and im using them frequently

hello Lucy, thank you so much for this course. God bless you!

win-win Situation is also used in my mother tongue

I know 14 out of 15 of these phrases, the one I have not used is pain point. I have worked as an IT professional for 20 years.

I knew nothing of those, thank you very much! It was extremely useful!

Your dedication to producing quality content is evident in every video you make. I am truly thankful for your hard work. Best wishes to you always.

1st of July, i wish to Lucy à wonderful and happy birthday for her 30. A fan from france Sylvain

Only punjabi gabru strong ok

Assalamualikum From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

very useful lesson. Thank Lucy so much

Only someone that speaks English as a second language would not be familiar with these common terms. You cannot determine that someone has excellence in any form using this methodology. I have another phrase for you....Nit Wit...any idea?

Hello from Uzbekistan

Hello from Nigeria. Teacher Lucy has always been my favorite teacher here. I know most of these phrases except action point”

Hey Lucy! I have a podcast for learners of English and it would be an absolute pleasure to have you as a guest! Thanks for all your great content 👍

I hope i am the only one from lovely Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹😊

Hi Lucy I have been learning English for Three years completely, utterly on my own. I know all these business expressions, even though I don't work in a business setting. I am proud of myself. Fatiha Switzerland

Hello lovely mam I am from nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

Thank you Lucy Thanks to you, I have just realized how smart I am 😀 The last expression "ballpark figure" gave me something to think about since in Canada and USA we tend to say "a rough figure".

5/15 Thank you for the amazing words! 😊

آني عربية واريد اتعلم اللغة الإنجليزية واحبهة فه شتنصحوني كمتوسطة بالانكليزي✨🤍

Hello friends from India🇮🇳❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

I adore you. How about that?

Magnificent ✨

Some people think "inside" the box, some people think "outside" the box... I have no box!

Thank you for the enriching content. It is highly beneficial for learners like myself.

My teacher, a question: Why did you not start from scratch on RU-vid? Some people, like me, do not understand much of the English language, and now you have reached the stage in your videos where you speak with masters of the language, but I did not understand your words unless you translated them into my mother tongue. I hope that you will make your next episodes special for beginners.

Oh my goodness. I came across your phrase here, think outside (of) the box in the TV show, Red Eye episode 4 around 39.00. (The serious problem of baby boomers is they can't think outside of the box).🎉

Hi there, I knew 12 out of 15: the new ones to me were expressions #9-14-15 that is “learning curve”, “up to speed”, “ballpark figure” 😅 cheers

I’m Dutch and worked in IT for more than 40 years and have an English partner, so these phrases were no surprise to me, 15 out of 15.

The last one was the only one I didn't know, but now I do, thanks to you, Lucy! Thanks 😊🙏

A few other terms: roadmap, on boarding, scale up, growth cycle, kick off, brain storming, up/down round, term sheet, funneling...and i'm sure just about every other word in the dictionary can somehow be reused, claimed or upcycled by business lingo 😅

Lucy, could you help me with my C1 examination? I'm struggling to find more tests and information. I hope you'll reply. From Vietnam.

Thank youuu❤❤❤🎉love uuuuu❤❤❤

I knew all of them and use most of them regularly. Hope you can clarify something in a future video. I often write something like "I'd recommend to focus on...". Google's spelling/grammar check always suggest to change (changing) this to "I'd recommend focusing on ..." What is the difference between the two and when would one use one or the other?

I didn't know even a half of these phrases but I could "feel" most of them and guess the meaning in the business context. Except "ballpark figure", this one sounds really strange for me. Never heard anything similar to it. I suppose making associations to be important tool to remember anything. For example, I know the term "learning curve" from machine learning theory, it means almost the same as the one given here. Also I know the word "stake" from NFS High Stakes. Playing games in English turned out to be useful

I wasn't 100% sure of "action point" but was very familiar with "action item". Maybe that's because I'm across the pond. I knew all the rest.

Hey! So astonishing to me too😂 I knew 16/technically 17 here. But I don't use 15 of them in regular except writing emails or some formal letters.

Knew all of them... but "pain point" is something I've only heard once or twice. The rest were used quite often in the companies I've worked for....

I knew all of them except "game plan". I regularly use most of them. After 20 years in sales I'm very careful about "win win" for it usually means that your customer wants something for free.

12/15! I don't use them that often, though, so it was nice to revise and learn a few more. Thank you, lovely video! :))

8 out of 15, I don't know much about professional english though...

Hello Lucy. My name is Zainab and I am from Pakistan . I want to improve my English where should I have to start can you help me.

8 phrases only... in my daily life working at construction industry in hk...

This language what you use is very dificult to me it seem phrasal verbs but not is!

Please respond I would appreciate your reply. Yours sincerely Christopher Eriksson

Lucy: could we have a lesion on the etiquette of “ I love you”. I think most students don’t know the differences between “ like “ , love , affection etc. For example, you don’t go ahead and dispense “ I love you “ like candy to total strangers because that makes you sound not serious or sincere especially on dating sites. I know the students say that innocently and in the context of their own cultures. It is just a suggestion. Thank you

Hi. I had heard most of these from watching t v and videos. But I had just made use of a few in my career. Thank you so much for your videos. You look beautiful : )

Phrase 16: to have another useless meeting Okay, it might not be advanced vocabulary! 😁😁😁

15 out 15 however my everyday English really sucks

Lucy I need your help. I am a native speaker of the United States. Abundant use of filler words here. How does one curb this?

Hello from India

Excellent video!!! I hope my channel can help people this much someday!

Hello. I only know two: at stake,bottom line. Thank you. Love from cote d'ivoire.

14 of 15. Didn’t know „Ballpark figure“

Thanks Lucy teacher excelent explanation.i.am.from Venezuela ❤

Ballpark figure is new to me . I thought, since ballpark is stadium, it's notable sport personality. And pinpoint is more used than pain point

I knew before the ballparks figure it's famous phrase I loved it usage but unfortunately I'm non native speaker I hope to same native and I learn curve as English course

Another phrasal Idiom that business people use, sometimes, is "I cut my teeth on...." - right?

14 - ok I will know them all - but with ballpark figure you got me. The last one 🤣🤣🤣 of course …. 🤨

13/15. For someone who learned the language from tv shows and video games i think it’s alright 😅

Thank you so much indeed, It was absolutely practical as always.

The only one didn’t know was “ action point”. Maybe because I am in the USA. I think it is not widely used in the USA.

Thanks a lot, I got 4 of 15... ooopss 🥺 although I knew most of the words, not in the business context 🥴🙂😉

I honestly had no idea these were advanced business phrases, I thought they were just common English idioms

Good morning from algeria

Hi Lucy, I think the opposite of a win-win situation is a zero-sum game. Am I right?

Adam Is the following sentence correct? The shopkeeper asked me for forgiveness.

I have heard many different accents of English, but yours seems to me the only correct English accent, is that normal?)

was very astonished to see that I've known all of them - should probably play some business bullshit bingo

Win Win is not correct. I does not mean that both parties would win. It usually means that I will win whatever happens (both scenarios) or I will win twice, or in two aspects.

Not sure if I have ever heard anyone use pain point, instead 'sticking point' maybe?
