Looking for a memorable, genuine way to thank someone?
If your goal is simply to bring a touch of warmth and humanity into
your message, a simple “thank you” may suffice, but if you really want
to express your thanks, “thank you” probably won’t feel like enough.
Your writing, at its best
Be the best writer in the office.
“Thank you very much” has been a long-time go-to for emphasizing
thanks, but with its formal tone it won’t always be the best choice for
conveying feelings in a personal way.
“Thank you so much” has become a popular phrase for email sign-offs
and to express gratitude—it’s colloquial, and feels personal and
sincere—but all that (over)use may be lessening its impact.
While your go-to may always be “thank you so much” or “thank you very
much,” if you’re looking to branch out and explore other meaningful
ways of saying “thank you” in your writing, we have some suggestions to
get you started.
1
Thank you for all your hard work on this
Who wouldn’t love the one-two punch of gratitude and praise? Show
your appreciation by recounting the awesome thing they did—the more
customized, the better! “Thank you for all your… incredible work on
our project…. invaluable insights on my manuscript… kind words during
this difficult time…”
2
Thanks again, we couldn’t have pulled this off without you
Share the impact they’ve made. “Thanks again… your help made a huge difference… you’re the main reason we were able to launch on time… you’re a lifesaver…”
3
Thank you, you’re amazing!
A little praise can go a long way. “Thank you, you’re… a gem… a real peach… a rock star… a genius… seriously incredible… the bee’s knees… the best…
4
I’m so thankful for everything you bring to the table
What are you thankful for about this person? “I’m so thankful
for… your amazing sense of humor, even when things are hard… the way you
jumped in and started contributing right away… everything you’ve done
for this monster-size project…
5
Thank you kindly
6
Thanks a million
Use this fun phrase with folks you have a close relationship with (probably not your boss). Other variations include “Thanks a ton” and “Thanks a bunch.”
7
Many thanks
8
Warmest thanks
9
I truly appreciate your hard work
What do you appreciate? Customize this phrase for your wonderful recipient. “I
truly appreciate… all your time spent on this… your energy and passion
for the launch… your invaluable guidance on my thesis…”
10
I truly appreciate you
Sometimes a message that says “I see you” is all that’s needed.
11
From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Did you just receive a huge favor? Show how grateful you are.
12
Please accept my deepest thanks
Navigating a formal situation? A formal phrase may be in order.
13
I can’t thank you enough
14
Eternally grateful
15
Beyond grateful
16
Grateful for your support
What are you grateful for? “Grateful for… your help… your input… your assistance… your undying loyalty… your genius grammar skills”
17
I appreciate your thoughtfulness, you’ve made my day!
Whether you received a physical gift, or the gift of words, let them know how they made a difference.
18
Thank you for going above and beyond!
Let them know you see and appreciate their effort.
19
Thanks for being in my corner
20
So glad you’re on my team
Let them know how valuable they are. “So glad… you’re partnering with us… we’re friends… I have you in my life…”
What’s your favorite way to say “thank you” in your writing?
Grammar – that dreaded ‘g’ word, but if we break things down into the
different parts of speech, everything becomes a lot more manageable.
In English there are eight categories of words, known as parts of speech, which together form the basis of English grammar.
By understanding the functions and behaviours of these different
parts of speech, the language becomes demystified and much easier to
learn and master.
are exclamations expressing a spontaneous feeling of a strong emotion or reaction, such as surprise, relief, joy, disgust
Of course that’s not all there is to any language, but by grasping
these basics and how parts of speech interact with each other, it will
form a great foundation to build on.
There are no magic tricks that will have you fluent overnight, but
there are plenty of things you can do to make your time more productive,
to improve your English quicker.
1. Know how you learn
Some people need to write things down to remember them, some make
mental pictures, others need to hear them, or say them out loud. Some
need to understand the mechanics, others want to learn parrot fashion.
There are many different ways of learning and it’s good to know which
works best for you so you an get results more quickly and more easily
to improve your English faster.
If you’re not sure, experiment – over the next few days try learning
10 new words every day using one different method per day – writing,
reading, saying aloud etc. and see which works best.
2. Just Do It
We all like to dream that we’ll do x, y, z…. but then somehow… it
doesn’t actually happen. We may have great intentions, and make plans,
and even commit to some degree – may be watch a few Youtube videos on
how to do it quicker, easier, better.
We might even actually sit down, and focus, and do some work, but
before long, it begins to get tougher and the novelty wears off, then
next thing, we’ve abandoned it altogether.
Obviously that’s not how you’ll improve your English! or anything for that mater.
You need to commit. Set a timetable, of actual time slots. Half an
hour a day of real concentration and effort is better than two hours of
fidgeting and constantly checking the clock to see if it’s time for a
break yet.
Also decide on the tools you want to use and stick with them – don’t
chop and change; you won’t progress like that. Most importantly, decide
to do it, and just do it!
3. Read
Read. Read. And then read some more.
Nothing will help you more to develop vocabulary and grammar, and so to improve your English.
It almost doesn’t matter what you read, as long as it’s stretching
you at least a bit. It’s important that you enjoy it so that you look
forward to coming back to daily.
And take the time to look up new words and note them down.
Find a whole variety of different reading resources to help you on your way.
4. Read Aloud
Whilst we’re on the topic of reading – read out loud like there’s nobody listening! Use a loud clear voice.
Reading out loud will help train your mouth and tongue to make the
correct positions for English sounds. This helps your pronunciation,
which in turn will help you build confidence for conversations and will
improve your English fluency.
Use read aloud apps – as the name implies they read any text that you
give them out loud. You can follow along listening first, then go over
the same text shadow reading.
These listening resources will also help with your reading practice when you use the transcripts available.
5. Speak English!
It’s going to seem obvious but…. you’ve got to actually practice speaking English! It’s the one issue that most people say they find most difficult.
Of course, there’s so much to remember – nut there’s really nothing for it – whatever your level, practice is the only answer.
Don’t worry, you will make mistakes but we really do learn from our mistakes.
If possible find a native English speaker to practice with to make faster progress. These pronunciation tips will help you too. And there are a number of apps and online resources to help you too.
6. A word per day
You can get apps or subscribe to email lists to receive a word per
day. My tip though is to learn a word that is actually useful to you in
your own life; that way you’ll learn it, use it and remember it.
Get into the habit of looking up a new word every morning and try to
use it that day, and repeat the word to yourself at certain times
throughout the day – you can even set an alarms so you don’t forget to
practice!
7. Go Label Crazy
Put sticky labels on everything around your home or office with the
word of the item written in English. This is also great for learning
English spelling, which we all know is a nightmare.
8. Make 1 into 4 or more
When you learn a new word, note down all it’s different forms in the
various words classes i.e noun, verb, adjective, adverb etc.as well as
any related words, for example:
to fly (verb) fly (noun) flying (adjective)
flyover flying high flying saucer flying visit fly off the handle
Many online dictionaries will give you a range of information like
this by looking up just one word. These two are specifically aimed at
English learners, and have simple, easy to understand definitions: Oxford Learner’s Dictionary and Cambridge Learner’s Dictionary
English is thought to have one of the largest lexicons (number of
words). There are 600,000 words in the latest Oxford English Dictionary.
(Swedish and Turkish have a similar number of words, and only Korean
out does everyone with 1.1 million words.)
That’s great for rich and expressive communication but when you’re
new to it all, it can be daunting. But there are many ways to increase
your vocabulary.
To become truly fluent there are four aspects to learning new vocabulary: meaning, spelling, pronunciation, correct use. Listening and reading expose you to new words and expressions. Speaking and writing allow you to practice that learning.
Some people learn best by listening and parroting those around them
(that’s how baby’s learn), others prefer to read, as they can go at
their own pace, and those ‘odd’ accents don’t get in the way. You’ll
need to embrace all these methods to truly become fluent, but to start
with concentrate on what you enjoy, inspires you and gets results.
5 WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR VOCABULARY
1. LOOK IT UP
If you come across a word you don’t know, take the time to look it
up. One of the best and most popular dictionary for English learners is
the Longman Active Study Dictionary – it’s more than
just a dictionary. You also get a pictionary section, expressions,
useful lists of verbs, colloquialisms, and if you get the CD version
there are exercises and more. Suitable for all levels.
Some useful on-line dictionaries include: Opdome – a basic pictionary ideal for beginners, with pronunciation (American accent) Power Thesaurus –
a thesaurus gives a list of synonyms – words that mean the same – not
definitions, and this has a clean uncluttered layout. Intermediate+ Urban Dictionary – for advanced learners, slang and colloquialisms
Avoid being lazy and using translation apps for chunks of text, or you may end up with a fail like this –
2. WRITE IT DOWN
Once you’ve looked up the new word, write it down in a vocabulary
book. It’s important to note the spelling because, as we know, English
spelling is deceptive. Then write a sentence using the word, that really
demonstrates the meaning, to help reinforce the learning.
3. BUILD WORD BOMBS
Whenever you look up a word note down the versions for the different
parts of speech such as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and related
expressions or idioms: beauty (noun) beautiful (adjective) beautifully (adverb) beautify (verb) beautician, beauty mark, beauty contest, beauty queen, beauty sleep that’s the beauty of it
4. MAKE ROOT GROUPS
Make lists or diagrams of words with similar roots, for example – eject, object, reject, subject, inject
5. USE LABELS AND CARDS
(a) Use sticky labels to write the name of objects around your room,
home or office to be a constant reminder and learning opportunity, and
leave them there until you know the word and the spelling.
(b) Take 10 or so pieces of paper or cards the size of a business
card. On each one write the word on the front, and on the back write the
meaning or a sentence using the word or both. Carry these ten cards
with you and keep practicing whenever you get the chance – on the bus,
in the queue at the shop etc.
The words jobs and professions are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference between them: a job – a paid work position a profession – a specialisation that usually requires formal qualifications an occupation – business, profession or job a career – professional work path undertaken over a period of time with advancement
For career, and jobs and professions, you may be asked: What do you do for a living? or simply, What do you do? What’s your profession? What’s your occupation? What business are you in?
When we talk about jobs and professions in English, we use the indefinite article a I am a plumber. She is a teacher. He had wanted to be a jockey.
Unlike many languages, in English most jobs and professions don’t
have a different form for the male and female, but where they do they
are listed below is the following format – male / female
Note that many end in -er, -or, -ian, -ist, -ant, -man.
