How to Give Constructive Criticism in English [435]

🚨 If you use English at work, these phrases matter.  These are the only English phrases I allow my private students to use at work, and the ones I tell them to stop using.  👉 Download the PDF (€9): https://www.englishlessonviaskype.com/workphrases-podcast

In this episode, you’ll learn how to give constructive criticism clearly and professionally in English.

Many learners know what they want to say, but struggle to sound polite, balanced, and confident when giving feedback. Direct translations can sound too harsh, too vague, or unclear.

I explain practical phrases you can use to:

  • give feedback without offending
  • point out problems clearly
  • suggest improvements in a professional way

These expressions are especially useful in meetings, performance reviews, teamwork, and everyday workplace communication.

Ideal for intermediate and upper-intermediate learners who want to sound confident, respectful, and precise when speaking English at work.
