How to Disagree Like a Native English Speaker

Disagreeing is tricky in any language because it means you're saying someone else is wrong or different .

In this lesson we look at the pragmatics of disagreement and how disagreeing is a dispreffered response.

We demonstrate the steps native English speakers often follow when they disagree:
- Hesitating
- Asking challenging questions
- Saying 'yes but...' and adding their objections
We note how the phrases 'I disagree' and 'I don't agree' are explicit and formal and hence have limited uses in everyday conversations, namely to report other people's opinions and to clear up misunderstandings.

We've also made a video about how to agree in English which you can see here: https://youtu.be/aS9IYxj8qGg
