Avoid embarrassment and learn to continue a conversation successfully when you don’t understand someone. You’ve probably learned to say, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand that. Could you repeat it?” when you don’t understand someone.

Pronunciation tips to sound natural
Idioms you can use in casual conversations when you don’t understand someone
