Speaking of which/that/this
I often see sentences like "Speaking of which, ...", but can we replace "which" with "that" or "this"?

"Speaking of which, ..." is used as something like "oh, while we're on the topic, ...". I guess technically you could say "Speaking of that, ...", and be understood, but it'd sound really weird because "speaking of which" is a fixed expression in the English language, kinda like an idiom.
Hope that helps!

Thank you Jeanna.

No, “Speaking of which” is technically an idiom— a phrase that doesn’t make sense on its own, but culturally carries a different meaning.
For this reason, you cannot replace “which” with “that”, simply because “Speaking of which” is a complete phrase on its own.
If you’d like to dive deeper (another idiom!) into idioma and common phrases, book a general English lesson with me and we will practice more!
