Stuck in English Conversations? Let's Get You UNSTUCK!

Stuck in English conversations? Let's get unstuck and out of trouble so you can keep your conversations going for longer!
In this lesson, I'll teach you 27 natural English expressions (that native speakers use all the time) to help you get out of trouble during conversations!
They'll help you:
- When you don't understand...
- When you forget your words...
- When you don't know what to say...
- When they don't understand you!
All of these expressions will help you to get out of trouble and keep moving forward in your conversations!
- - - - - REMEMBER! - - - - -
A conversation is not a test!
The other person is not there to challenge you and make you mess up and make fun of you.
They will help you to keep going IF YOU GIVE THEM THE RIGHT CLUES!
Watch the lesson to find out how!

UNSTUCK in English Conversations (free notes) Situation 1: You don’t understand I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Could you repeat what you said? I’m sorry, I’m not following you. Hmmm...I don’t think I understood your question. Can you repeat that? Situation 2: You forget Ahh… What’s that word again? It’s on the tip of my tongue! I’m sorry, I’ve had a mental blank. I can’t remember the word in English. Uhh... I have no idea how to say this in English! Maybe you can help me if I explain what I’m trying to say. Uhh… That's so annoying. Nevermind... Let’s move on. Hang on. Let me start over! Let me try that again. Oh, man! I completely lost my train of thought there… I’m sorry, I’ve completely forgotten what I was talking about. Hopefully, it will come back to me in a few moments. Situation 3: You don’t know what to say Let me think about that for a minute. That’s an interesting question, let me think… That’s tricky… I’ve never been asked that before! Hmmm… I’m not sure! Give me a second to think about it. Give me a moment to think about how to explain that in English! I need some time to think about that. Does anyone else have an answer ready? I’ve never thought about that before. What about you? That’s tricky… I’ve never been asked a question like that before! What do you think? What’s your take (on the situation)? What are your thoughts? Situation 4: They don’t understand you Am I making sense? I don’t think I’m being very clear here, am I? Let’s try that again. Sorry, I think I’m confusing you. What I’m trying to say is…
