About this episode
Have you ever been in a conversation in English and suddenly thought… “Wait. I didn’t catch that.” Maybe someone was speaking too fast. Maybe they used a word you don’t know. Maybe you understood the words - but not the meaning. And in that moment, you freeze. You don’t want to say the wrong thing. You don’t want to look confused. You don’t want to interrupt.
Well here’s the good news. Checking understanding and getting clarification is a natural part of a conversation in any language - even English. And today, I’m going to show you how you can do that.
