The videos in this post will showcase a wide variety of approaches to saying no, pushing back or declining requests in a polite way with Americans and while using English with native speakers.

How to say NO! Communication skills that work
This is an ESL (English as a Second Language) learning video. This video does not focus on grammar but on how to use your words with Americans to decline requests in a polite way. More than other videos, this video may shed light on the mindset that Americans approach saying no with. Some of the suggestions in this video may seem too blunt for many Indians to apply.
