Do you ever "panic nod" when you don't understand someone in English? Do you feel embarrassed saying "Can you repeat that?" or "What?" over and over again? You are not alone! It is the most common insecurity for English learners in meetings and conversations.

In this practical episode, Sarah and Daniel give you a massive toolkit of phrases to break the "repeat routine." Learn how native speakers ask for repetition naturally without feeling awkward. We teach you the super-fast one-word questions, professional phrases for work, how to politely interrupt, and the "Sniper Technique" to pinpoint exactly what you missed without making them repeat everything!

🌟 What You’ll Learn:
👉 Stop Saying "What?": Learn why this is too aggressive and master the natural, one-word alternatives like "Sorry?" and "Excuse me?" with the correct rising intonation.
👉 Everyday & Professional Phrases: Move beyond "Can you repeat that?" with softer phrases like "What was that, sorry?" and direct, polite options like "Please could you say that again?"
👉 The "Sniper Technique": Don't ask for the whole sentence when you only missed one word! Learn to target the missing information specifically: "Sorry, send the which contract?"
👉 How to Interrupt Politely: Learn the cultural rules for stopping someone mid-sentence to get clarification using phrases like "Sorry to interrupt, but..."
👉 Handle Speed & Volume: Learn how to politely ask someone to "speak up" (louder) or to slow down by saying "I'm a bit lost."
