SUGGESTIONS: WHAT IF WE...

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin!

Today's phrases will help you to brainstorm solutions or propose ideas in a gentle way. 

Today's phrases are: "What if we…" and "Have you thought about…".

Meaning / Use "What if we...": This phrase is often used when suggesting creative or alternative ideas.  

Example 1:
Eric: Our client hasn’t responded to our email.  
Melanie: What if we call them directly?
Eric: Good thinking! I'll give them a call right now

Meaning / Use "Have you thought about…": This is a polite way to suggest an idea, often used when you want the other person to feel included in the decision.

Example 2: 
Monica: I don’t know how to improve my English listening skills.
Matthew: Have you thought about listening to podcasts?
Mónica: That's a great idea. I listen to podcasts in Spanish, but hadn't thought about listening to podcasts in English. Thanks for the suggestion!
