In this episode, I talk about common ways to ask someone to repeat what they said. 
Make sure that you do the quiz attached to the episode and subscribe to never miss an episode. 
Enjoy! 

Summary:
Say: 
Pardon? Pardon me? (rising intonation) 
Sorry? I'm sorry? (Rising intonation; informal)
I missed what you said.
I didn't catch that. 
I didn't get that. 

Avoid: What? Huh? (Sounds rude)
Avoid: "Can you repeat?" (Wrong; "repeat" is usually transitive, and therefore needs an object)

Informal English: What to say when you don't understand

En este episodio hablamos de uno de los desafíos más grandes al aprender un nuevo idioma que es el habla conectada. La manera en que juntamos las palabras. Los nativos solemos hablar así, conectando las palabras, y es por eso que a veces hemos estudiado una lengua por mucho tiempo y cuando tenemos una conversación nos cuesta mucho entender a los nativos.

Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”

Describe an interesting neighbour

What happened to Monday? An extremely violent thriller/science fiction movie that has an intriguing and interesting plot based on septuplets that keep a low profile to avoid being killed as they live in a time where there can only be one child per family... There's a lot that can be said about this film, so I would like for you to watch it and let me know what you think.
