No BS English

Hey there,

Welcome to No BS English!

No BS = No pretending. No performing. No becoming someone else just because you're speaking English.

I learned this the hard way.

As a non-native speaker working in the U.S., meetings used to be my nightmare. I had to perform understanding and agreement I didn't actually feel.

Then I realized:
I just needed phrases that let me be honest about my thinking.

I started sharing English expressions I find useful on rednote in March 2025. The response blew my mind. Clearly, I'm not the only one who needed this.

So I put together a survival guide with the 10 most-saved scenarios from the 100+ I’ve shared this year.

I hope they help you stay yourself while being understood :)
