Idowu - Business English Coach

Taking a short break to sharpen my teaching skills reminded me of something many professionals still struggle with:

Speaking clearly and confidently in English during phone calls and quick work conversations.

That short pause was worth it — it helped me refresh my approach and come back with even more practical, real‑life tips for you.

So this month, I’m focusing on Practical General and Business English — the kind you can use immediately.

Today’s quick tip:

When you need a little extra time to think during a call, try using:

• “Let me check that quickly.”
• “Give me a moment to look into this.”
• “I’ll get back to you in a minute.”

These phrases help you stay confident, calm, and professional — even when you don’t have the answer yet.

More practical General and Business English tips coming soon.

Which of these phrases do you use most during calls ?

🌟 Another quick English tip to help you sound more natural

Many learners say:

❌ “I have 25 years”

because in Polish you say “mam 25 lat.”

But in English, age uses “to be,” not “to have.”

Try these instead:

✅ “I am 25 years old.”

✅ “I’m 25.”

✅ “She’s 30.”

A small change, but it makes your English sound instantly more natural.

🌟 A quick English tip to help you sound more natural

Many learners say:

❌ “I very like it”

because in Polish you can say “bardzo lubię” with the same structure.

But in English, “very” cannot go before a verb.

Try these instead:

✅ “I really like it”

✅ “I like it a lot”

✅ “I like it very much”

These small changes make your English sound much more natural and fluent.

🌟 A common pronunciation mistake I have noticed recently — and how to fix it

Many learners pronounce “TH” like “S” or “Z” because this sound doesn’t exist in Polish.

So they say:
❌ “Sank you”
❌ “Zis is my friend”
❌ “I tink so”

But the correct “TH” sound is made by gently placing your tongue between your teeth and blowing air out.

Try these instead:
✅ “Thank you”
✅ “This is my friend”
✅ “I think so”

Practice slowly at first — your mouth will get used to it.

Clear pronunciation makes your English sound more confident and natural.

One simple English mistake many Polish speakers make — and how to fix it

A lot of learners say:
❌ “I go work”
or
❌ “I go shop”

It’s understandable, because in Polish the structure is different.

But in English, we need “to” before the verb.

Try this instead:

✅ “I’m going to work”

✅ “I’m going to shop”
or
✅ “I’m going to do some shopping”

Small changes like this make your English sound more natural and confident.
