How to Ask for Help in English | English Conversations

Do you understand English inside your head… but freeze when you need to speak? This episode is for you. Grace and James talk honestly about one of the most painful feelings for English learners — being too embarrassed to ask for help. Not understanding something. But saying yes anyway. Smiling and nodding. And then suffering alone. James shares the time he pretended to understand directions — and walked in circles for twenty minutes because he was too embarrassed to say "sorry, can you repeat that?" Grace shares the moment she said something completely wrong at a pharmacy — and what happened after. And together they discover five simple English phrases that can change everything. In this episode you will naturally learn: ✅ Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. ✅ Could you speak a little more slowly please? ✅ Excuse me, could you help me with something? ✅ Sorry, just to make sure I understand correctly… ✅ Give me just a moment. I want to make sure I understand.
