BEFORE WE DIVE IN
Have you watched this one yet?
I share a group chat with my mates from the UK. Just lads.
One them invited another to see a gig with them.
(Invite, as in come with us - English invite, not I’ll pay for you - Spanish invite.)
But he didn’t say come along or come with us.
Nor did say “you should come.”
He went for something British, low pressure and friendly.
“Get involved!”
It’s a natural expression that says: Come, be part of what we’re doing, you’re invited.
So next time you want to invite your British friend along to something, just say:
Get involved!
Get involved, you’ll be pleased you did
This week’s three tips:
SOMETHING TO AVOID 🫣
🤦🏻♀️ “Join to us”
Join never takes a preposition before the group or activity. You join something or someone.
This is the same with words such as enter or visit.
I saw him the moment he entered the room
We will visit the museum
✅ “Join us”
In Spanish you say “unirse a,” so you may instinctively add a preposition in English.
But English keeps it clean and simple: join + object.
We’re doing a pub quiz tonight, join us!
I’m going to join the team later today
SOMETHING TO SOUND CONFIDENT 🧐
👔 Business expressions
“Get on board”
To agree with an idea, support a plan, or join a project, often after someone has explained the benefits or convinced you.
It’s used when a team, department, or company needs everyone to align, commit, and move in the same direction.
It’s more professional than “get involved” and more strategic than “join us.”
You use get on board when you want people to:
support a decision
commit to a new initiative
align with a strategy
adopt a new system
stop resisting a change
It’s very common in leadership, management, and corporate English.
