Here are some formal english vocabulary covered in the video.

• Certainly. Instead of the simple "yes," use "certainly" to sound more formal and confident.
  I'm afraid not. Rather than just saying "no," you can say "I'm afraid not" to convey the same message more politely.
• I appreciate + noun. Upgrade your "thank you" to "I appreciate + noun" to express gratitude more formally. For example, "I appreciate your help".
• My apologies. Replace "sorry" with "my apologies" to make your apology sound more sincere and formal.
