1. Sorry. 2. Excuse me 3. Pardon 4. I beg your pardon? 5. What was that? 6. What did you say, sorry? 7. I don't understand, could you say that again please? 8. Sorry, what did you just say? 9. What did you say just then? 10. Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. 11. Sorry, I didn't quite get that. 12. Would you mind speaking up a bit? 13. Sorry, I'm not following what you say. 14. Wait a second - I'm a bit lost 15. Would you mind slowing down a bit? I'm struggling to follow 16. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 17. I'm sorry to Interrupt but... 18. This is all Greek to me. 19. That was as clear as mud. 20. That went right over my head 21. What are you on about?

I find saying "Sorry (pause) What was that?" better than "What was that sorry?" Because the "Sorry" prepares them. As a deaf person, I say this a lot, and with people wearing masks, I'm like "I'm terribly sorry but I'm deaf and I need to lip read, is it possible you can remove your mask and repeat that?" As I rely on lip reading and I'm glad your videos come with subtitles.

The format you follow and design of the video is incredible. 3) “What are you on about” is a phrase generally not spoken in the United States, but if said to me, I would 100% understand. Thank you for posting wonderful content that I look forward to watching!

@goldeneddie
@goldeneddie 3 роки тому
The trouble is, the shorter you make it, the less polite it sounds. That's why 'What?' is really impolite. Even "Say again, please" would seem disrespectful if you were asking for directions, talking to a person you just met, or talking to your boss. 'Sorry?' is unique because it's short but still very polite.

In aviation radio communication, it is critical to understand exactly what Air Traffic Controllers say, so if a pilot (who often is, like me, a non-native English speaker) doesn’t quite catch it, there’s a standardized request: “Say again”. It might not be the most polite or posh request, but brevity is at a premium over the radio.

A variation of #7 that is taught in military communications is "say again, please". Commonly used if there is a bad connection and the message is garbled. It's also very useful in conversation as it has a neutral feel, is clear in the intent, and is inoffensive.

Thanks for the excellent episode, Lucy. It's most helpful. As a native Chinese who grew up being taught British English, we learnt and took 'pardon' as a standard way to request repetition. But it's only natural for Received Pronunciation and very formal grammar which is widely associated with it to be taught together, though in real life I never say 'pardon', lol. xD

Hi Lucy! I really enjoy this channel and the way you present your contents!! I just recalled when I started studying English and how much I struggled. Most of the times, I didn’t catch what other people were telling me, mainly because of the structure of the sentences, words or way of saying they were using. Hence, hearing the same sentence again wasn’t that helpful. Instead, asking for rephrase the sentence allowed me to understand what they wanted to say to me as well as learn different ways of explaining the same concept

A quite formal line I use when I don't get the whole message: "I missed the details, sorry." An informal one when the speaker is unclear: "Gibberish."

Hi Lucy, Thank you for the tips regarding how to indicate that you don't understand something. I am a native English speaker - I am American - but I was curious what phrases/techniques I can use to let people know that I missed what they said - or that I just didn't understand what they were talking about. I find that I normally resort to saying, "I'm sorry" or "I'm sorry, what was that?"

@MariaSimpsonUK
@MariaSimpsonUK 3 роки тому
Agree on that. At my work I have colleagues from another part in the UK and by speaking to them regularly I can pick up their accent. They are from Birmingham, Manchester, Scotland and Wales but majority of my colleagues are Scottish 'coz we are a Scottish company. I didn't pick up the scottish accent but my accent is more on receive pronounciation.
@khaingzarthin2105

You can also learn by watching movies. That’s my way of learning English because I was always shy to talk to people I just met. I didn’t really meant to learn when I watch movies but then I realized it has improved my English.
