Professional TeacherWhen your mind goes blank in English, say this instead...
Freezing isn't about bad English. It's about not knowing what to say when you need time.
Instead of panicking, try these:
✨ That’s a good question, let me think for a moment.
✨ Let me rephrase that.
✨ I don’t have the answer right now, but I’ll get back to you.
✨ Just to make sure I understand, are you asking about…?
These phrases buy you time and make you sound confident.
Want to practice using them naturally? That’s what we do in my lessons 🙂
