“Do I say ‘VERY’ too often?” A client asked me this a few weeks ago—and he wasn't the first. :) What can you do about it? Instead of saying “very creative,” try “innovative.” Using fewer “very” phrases can make your business English sharper. Replace them with single, vivid words. These examples will show you how: 📌 very creative ----->> innovative 📌 very detailed ----->> meticulous 📌 very good ----->> exceptional 📌 very important ----->> crucial 📌 very often ----->> frequently - - ✄ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Be authentic, impactful, and totally you. In English, too. #businessenglish #englishfluencycoaching #englishcommunication #juditmurakozy

When speaking or writing in English, we often adjust our word choices based on how casual or formal the situation is. Simpler words are common in everyday conversations with friends or in relaxed settings. For instance, you might say "ask" instead of "enquire" or "help" instead of "assist." In more formal contexts like business meetings or official communications, it's typical to use more polished language, such as "verify" for "check" or "apologize" instead of "say sorry." #English #BusinessEnglish
