Give a opinion without hurting feelings: How to teach to give mitigated opinions or assessments? Opinion, assessment or judgment are some of the most important acts of speech that a speaker of any language can perform. Through these, the point of view, perception, judgment, assessment or subjective evaluation that the interlocutor has about a certain person, object, situation, behavior, etc. can be expressed. Consequently, teaching E/LE students these kinds of speech acts is just as essential. For this reason, the main objective of this article is to explain how an mitigated opinion or assessment can be given in Spanish and how it can be taught in the E/LE classroom. For this, this didactic unit is proposed, which considers that the opinions or evaluations expressed by judges of reality shows such as Operación Triunfo, MasterChef or La voz can be attractive linguistic material to teach how to give an mitigated opinion. Key words: Opinion. Assessment. Mitigation. Realities Show.
