The 3 Words You Should Delete From Every English Email (and What to Use Instead)

Ever notice how polite German-style emails can sound weak in English? A few small words are often to blame.

❌ “I just wanted to…”
❌ “I think we could maybe…”
❌ “Sorry, but…”

Each one makes you sound less confident than you are.

Try this instead:
“I wanted to follow up…”
“We could…”
“Could you please…”

Clear. Professional. Confident.

Small edits change how your whole message is received.
