Does your team ever freeze during fast-paced international Zoom calls? 💻🔇
It happens all the time. Local professionals often go silent when a meeting moves too fast.
Not because they lack brilliant ideas. But because they don't have the right lexical tools to interrupt smoothly and confidently.
At E-talk, we help corporate teams bridge this exact communication gap. Here is one high-impact phrase that stops any meeting and gives you the floor:

🗣 "Before we move on — I want to raise something."
It’s professional. It’s direct. And it’s impossible to ignore.

Watch our Lead Coach demonstrate exactly how to use it in the video below! 👇

✅ Save this framework and share it with your colleagues for your next online meeting.

💬 Tell us in the comments: What is the biggest communication challenge you face during global calls?

Stop just saying "Good job."

If you want to motivate your team and build genuine psychological safety, your feedback needs to be specific and intentional.

Want to sound like a leader (without sounding arrogant)? 🚀

Instead of using "I managed..." or "I led..." every time, try the word SPEARHEAD.

It’s a great way to show that you didn't just follow orders, but actually took the initiative and moved the project forward.

In the slides below, I explain:

What it really means.

When it sounds best (from LinkedIn to meetings).

Real examples you can use right away.

I don’t believe in boring grammar drills. My goal is to give you phrases that actually work in real life and help you feel confident.

Học tiếng Anh: How many times have you heard

"I will feedback you later" in a meeting? 🤔

While everyone understands the intention, using "feedback" as a verb is one of the most common traps for English learners in the business world.

Look at the screenshot from my recent training session with an amazing group of professionals.

We broke down exactly why this happens. "Feedback" is a noun, which means we need to use it with helper verbs!

The golden rule:
✔️ Give feedback
✔️ Receive / get feedback
✔️ Have feedback
Example: "I will give you my feedback by Friday" (not "I will feedback you").

My goal as a Corporate English Trainer is to help teams fix these common mistakes so they can communicate with 100% confidence.

Be honest — have you ever caught yourself making the "feedback" mistake? 😉 Let's discuss below!

It sounds crazy, but the Vietnamese name Trung is the secret to mastering two very difficult English words! 🤯

Many of my students struggle with the pronunciation of RECRUIT and RECRUITER.

Here is my favorite trick:
Listen to the "ru" sound in the name Trung.
It is exactly the mouth movement you need!

🗣️ Try it right now:

Say: "Trung"

Now say: "Rec-ruit"

Now say: "Rec-ruiter"

Watch the video to hear the connection! 🎧

👇 Tag your friend Trung in the comments and say "Thank you for helping my pronunciation!" 😂

The verb READ is tricky because the spelling doesn't change, but the sound does!
📖 Read (Present) = sounds like "Reed" /iː/
📕 Read (Past) = sounds like "Red" /ɛ/

Here is my favorite hack to remember it. Just think of the verb "Meet":
1️⃣ Meet - Met - Met
2️⃣ Read - Read - Read

Same rhythm, same vowel change! 🎵

I read [/ɛ/] a really interesting book yesterday. 📚
👇 Tell me in the comments: What was the last thing YOU read? (A book? A news article? A contract?)

Are you pronouncing "Island" correctly? 🏝️
Silent letters in English can be tricky, even for advanced speakers. A common mistake I hear in business meetings is pronouncing the "s" in "Island" — making it sound like "Ice-land" (the country! ❄️).
In this quick video, I break down the correct pronunciation to help you sound more natural and confident.

Key Takeaway: The "s" is 100% silent. Just say "I-land".
Small adjustments in pronunciation can make a huge difference in how your message is received.

👇 Challenge: Try using "Island" in a sentence below!

🙊😱🙊 "You are mute" vs. "You are muted" — Do you know the difference?

In my class today, we tackled a super common mistake!

👉 If you tell someone "You are mute," you are actually saying they are physically unable to speak (a medical condition!). 👉 If you want to tell them to turn on their microphone, you must say "You are on mute" or "You are muted."

It’s a tiny difference, but it saves you from a potentially awkward moment! Watch the video to hear the full explanation. 👇

Let me know in the comments: What’s the funniest mistake you’ve heard in an online meeting?

Proud teacher moment! 🌟 Watch my student self-correct.
Mistakes are the best way to learn! In this class, we were practicing prepositions.
Notice how the student first says "waiting to," but then quickly realizes and corrects it to "waiting for." This happens when you practice speaking regularly—you start to "feel" what sounds right! 🗣️💬
Keep practicing, everyone! You are doing great. 💪

🛑 Stop translating "𝐓ừ... đế𝐧..." 𝐚𝐬 "𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦... 𝐭𝐨..."!
We often make this mistake because of direct translation. In this video, Mr. Cuong from PNJP English Speaking Club wanted to say:
❌ "From the beginning of this year until now, I haven't violated traffic rules."
But in English, when we talk about a period starting in the past and continuing to now (Present Perfect), we must use 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 ✅
✅"I haven't violated traffic rules 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 the beginning of this year."
👉 Quick Rule:
Since: Use for things that started in the past and are still true now.
Watch the video to fix this common grammar mistake! 🚦
