1
In English, there are many ways to apologise, depending on the situation.
2
In formal situations, you could say, please forgive me, while to a friend you might just say, my bad.
3
And of course, there's the most common phrase of all, I'm sorry.
4
Can you remember a time when you had to apologise, Beth?
5
Erm.. oh, I had to apologise this morning because I stepped on someone's toes on the tube.
6
OK.
7
Well, apologising depends on what you've done.
8
So sorry is fine if you accidentally step on someone's toes like you did this morning, Beth.
9
But what if you do something really serious, like the Ghanaian journalist Afia Pakua, who publicly criticised the king of the Ashanti tribe?
10
Here's BBC World Service programme The Fifth Floor covering the story.
11
I guess it's not every day that you end up offending a king, but let's say you did.
12
Would you know how to apologize to him?
13
Recently in Ghana, a journalist made some comments on television about the king of the Asante tribe,
14
and soon she found herself at his palace apologizing.
15
The presenter says it's not every day that you offend a king.
16
The phrase, it's not every day that, highlights that what's happened is very unusual.
17
So how do apologies change from culture to culture?

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
