Description

Has this ever happened to you? Someone invites you to do something - maybe go out for dinner, or join a party - but you can’t go. Maybe you’re too busy. Maybe you don’t want to go. But you feel a little nervous about saying no? Yeah... totally understandable. Saying no in English isn’t always easy, so today let’s learn how to do it.

In this lesson, we’re going to look at how we invite people in English, and more importantly, how to politely say no when you can’t accept that invitation. This is super helpful for conversations at work, school, or even with friends.
