How to Make Suggestions Like a Pro in English

Stop saying we should and you should. Learn five polite English phrases to make suggestions that people actually accept.

Making suggestions at work is important, but phrases like We should do this or You should change this can sound bossy, especially when you are talking to colleagues or managers. In this short video, you will learn five professional ways to make suggestions in English that sound friendly and open. Instead of We should do this, say How about we try this? Instead of You should change this, try Maybe we could adjust this. Instead of I think it's better, use It might work better if we, and then explain your idea. Instead of This is my idea, say Here's what I'd suggest. And instead of Let's change it, use Let's tweak it a bit, which sounds relaxed and collaborative. These phrases invite people to consider your idea instead of forcing it on them, so your team is more likely to agree. They are perfect for meetings, brainstorming sessions, feedback conversations and emails. Using soft, collaborative language shows confidence and respect at the same time. Watch the video, repeat each phrase and practice using them in your next team discussion. With these expressions, your suggestions will sound professional, persuasive and easy to accept.
