Want to improve your business English speaking and vocabulary at work? Today we're talking about how non-native English speakers in professional settings can interrupt politely. You'll learn practical vocabulary and grammar patterns to jump into a conversation confidently, whether you're speaking with colleagues, clients, or customers, without sounding rude or pushy. We build on the "yes, and" principle from improvised comedy to create natural, native-sounding interruptions that feel collaborative rather than confrontational. We'll also cover how to bring quieter colleagues into a discussion when one person is dominating the room, a valuable skill for building stronger relationships at work. Perfect for anyone looking to sound more confident and natural in meetings, client calls, or everyday workplace conversations, and to take their business English to the next level.
