Business English Polite Thanks Advanced Professional English
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm i really appreciate it
let’s talk about it let’s imagine that
you just started a new job and in this
job you need to speak english
your boss decided to assign you someone
to help train you so you have a trainer
who’s helping you learn the skills for
your job helping you learn your way
around the office and you want to tell
that person thanks what are some ways
that you can show appreciation politely
and professionally well today we’re
gonna talk about three different ways to
express thanks in a professional way the
first way is to say i appreciate it
that you stayed late to help me i
appreciate it that you spent time to
help me today
i appreciate it that i appreciate it we
need to keep this full expression
together it’s really sincere and the
reason why I decided to add this in
business expressions instead of personal
expressions or conversational
expressions is because it’s more serious
when someone is doing something to help
you at the office it means that they’re
not doing what they usually do they’re
not usually doing their job they are
helping you so in this way you want to
be more serious you want to be more
sincere it’s not a casual situation
where your friend came and brought some
pizza to your house in this situation
you can just say wow thanks so much but
in a business situation you want to be
more serious and sincere
so I recommend saying I appreciate it
that you helped me today I appreciate it
that you helped me the second way that
you can professionally show thanks is to
say it really means a lot to me that
you’re helping me it really means a lot
to me
that you gave me this data it really
means a lot to me that you thought about
me and decided to throw this special
party for me it really means a lot to me
so far these two expressions we’ve
talked about aren’t sincere they’re from
the bottom of your heart and they’re a
little more serious so in a business
situation you want to really show thanks
in a serious way with friends it’s okay
to be more casual of thanks thanks so
much I appreciate it but in a business
situation it’s great to use a full
expression it means a lot to me that you
decided to do this you’re giving a
little more explanation what did they do
they helped you it means a lot to me
that you helped me so when you’re
describing this it’s more sincere more
professional and a great thing to use in
a business situation the third way to
show sincere professional Thanks
is to say it really helped our program
that you organized this material it
really helped me to understand my job
better because you were so patient with
me
it really helped it really helped your
showing that their effort was useful
they did something out of the goodness
of their heart or maybe because their
boss told them to do it but they spent
their time doing something for you and
you want to let them know it was worth
it it really helped me that you spent
time to explain that it really helped
that you set up the projector for me
thanks so much
it really helped so now it’s your turn
to use these thankful expressions in the
comments below this video I’d appreciate
it if you’d write a wonderful comment
using these expressions you can say
thanks for something you can say thanks
for a hypothetical situation use them
professionally it really means a lot to
me when you’re active and using these
because it’s gonna help you remember
them when you need to
use them thanks so much for learning
