2021-02-22 18:54:56 LIVE: EXPERIENCE OF TAKING IELTS 3 TIMES + ADVICE

I've invited a secret guest to my Instagram live stream where we will talk about her experience of retaking IELTS 3 times and give advice on how to effectively prepare from the first attempt.

I respect everyone who has the courage and confidence to retake the test, as it requires so much money, energy and time to spend

2021-02-21 11:18:22 I recreate the intonation of these paraphrased versions of "I don't understand" for you

Do you like the format? Should I do more of such audios? #pronunciation @wsechannel Open / Comment

2021-02-21 10:59:48 Paraphrase "I DON'T UNDERSTAND"

What talking to a person whose speech is not clear, instead of saying the usual, boring and basic "I don't understand" try to incorporate these phrases:

I am not following
— literally: I am not following your train of thought, I am lost in your arguments or ideas.

I did not catch that
— literally: I didn't catch the meaning.

Sorry, come again?
— literally: repeat what you said again.

Sorry, what did you say? / I beg your pardon!
— perfect for politely showing that you don't understand and want the speaker to repeat.

Hey, slow down!
— informal! You can say this to a friend so that they slow their speech and talk more clearly.

Hold on, what?
— informal! This will show that you didn't understand the last sentence.
