Hello there, High Level listeners.
2
Welcome back to another fast English small talk episode here on High Level Listening.
3
Today, we're going to practice some more natural conversational ways to say sorry and excuse me in everyday English.
4
This will be a really great class to work on your pronunciation and fluency skills in speaking.
5
That's right.
6
These are short, friendly phrases that we use every day, and we can use them with strangers, co-workers, or friends.
7
And like usual, we'll share several small talk dialogues with you.
8
But today, we're really focusing on speaking and sounding more fluent, rather than focusing on the vocabulary or the grammar. Of course.
9
And if you like this kind of fast-paced spoken English and pronunciation, try my American English video course that's called Fluent and Friendly.
10
And it's designed help you speak faster and more naturally with really short videos
11
that you can repeat over and over for some great speaking practice and you can find that in the description below
12
okay so let's look at the first dialogue today to help you sound more polite friendly
13
and fluent in english okay so i'm meeting someone new at a friend's party Oh, hey, sorry, I missed your name.
14
Oh, it's Mark.
15
Mark, got it.
16
Nice to meet you.
17
Okay, it was fast.
18
It was quick.
19
Let's try this one again.
20
Oh, hey, sorry, I missed your name.
21
Oh, it's Mark.
22
Mark, got it.
23
Nice to meet you.
24
Okay, so let's go through this a little bit slower.
25
I'm going to separate out all the words, and then I want you to hear it all together.
26
Hey, sorry, I missed your name.
27
Hey, sorry, I missed your name.
28
So that missed and your, missed your name.
29
It's almost going to be a missed your, ch-ch-ch, missed your name.
30
Hey, sorry, I missed your name.
31
Oh, it's Mark.
32
And then slowly, oh, it's Mark.
33
In this situation, we don't say I am Mark.
34
Say it's Mark.
35
Oh, it's Mark.
36
Ah, Mark.
37
Got it.
38
Nice to meet you.
39
So let's separate it out a little bit.
40
Ah, like, oh, yes.
41
Ah, Mark.
42
So I usually, most people, especially Americans, will say the name back to you just to help with our memory.
43
Got it.
44
Got it.
45
So instead of saying got it, in American English especially, we're going to say got it.
46
Got it.
47
It's more of a d sound.
48
Got it.
49
Meaning, yes, I understand.
50
Yeah, I got it.
51
I got it.
52
Nice to meet you.
53
Nice to meet you.
54
So that T-O is not very important.
55
Nice to meet you.
56
That T is going to kind of move over to the U sound, and it's going to sound like a ch.
57
Meet you.
58
Mark, got it.
59
Nice to meet you.
60
So we also wanted to give you a couple of other phrases that you can practice with me.
61
What did you say your name was again?
62
What did you say your name was again?
63
Sorry, what was your name again?
64
Sorry, what was your name again?
65
Oh, good to meet you.
66
Oh, good to meet you.
67
Oh, it is great meeting you.
68
Oh, it is great meeting you.
69
Okay, here is the second conversation we have here.
70
This time I accidentally start talking while my co-worker is already speaking and I interrupt them.
71
Sorry, I cut you off there.
72
What were you going to say?
73
Oh, I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.
74
Ah, all right.
75
Got it.
76
Okay, these are fast, so we'll do it one more time.
77
Sorry, I cut you off there.
78
What were you going to say?
79
Oh, I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.
80
All right.
81
Got it.
82
Okay, we'll break down the lines slowly and separately, and then all together.
83
So if you want to apologize for interrupting.
84
Sorry, I cut you off there.
85
Sorry, I cut you off there.
86
Sorry, I cut you off there.
87
What were you going to say?
88
What were you going to say?
89
What were you going to say?
90
Again, it's in the past tense.
91
What were you going to say?
92
But it's shorter or faster.
93
What were you going to say?
94
Just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.
95
I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.
96
So I was just saying, I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.
97
I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.
98
All right.
99
Got it.
100
All right.
101
Got it.
102
Like Kat said, I got it.
103
Got it.
104
The T becomes a D in the UK pronunciation.
105
I suppose the got sounds slightly different.
106
It's an oh sound.
107
So, all right.
108
Got it.
109
Got it.
110
Got it.
111
Got it.
112
A couple more phrases.
113
If you accidentally interrupt someone and you want to apologize and let them speak, sorry, what were you saying?
114
sorry what were you saying what were you saying about the
115
meeting what were you saying about the meeting okay our third
116
conversation is where you need to borrow something okay you're kind of looking around you're looking around
117
and you need something like a pen okay this happens at the bank this happens at your co-workers desk
118
so i'm coming up to my co-worker mark hey mark are you using this
119
uh no go ahead thanks i'll bring it right back okay
120
so super quick super easy right it was just a pen
121
i just needed a pen quickly hey mark are you using this uh no go ahead thanks i'll bring it right back.
122
Okay.
123
So that first phrase, Hey Mark.
124
So this phrase is probably going to be the most informal.
125
Okay.
126
It's very casual.
127
Hey Mark, are you using this?
128
This one's a little bit hard because it's, are you using?
129
We have the you, you back to back.
130
That's a little hard so we can practice it.
131
Hey, are you using this?
132
Hey, are you using this?
133
And usually, I mean, you can't see my fingers, but if I say, hey, are you using this?
134
Hey, are you using this?
135
It works for everything too, like a chair in a coffee shop, a pen, a phone, you can use it for anything.
136
You only have to know one word yeah uh no go
137
ahead nope go ahead nope n-o-p-e feels like a friendlier way to say no Like,
138
I'm not offended or I'm not disagreeing with you.
139
Just nope.
140
Nope.
141
Nope.
142
Go ahead.
143
Go ahead.
144
Thanks.
145
I'll bring it right back.
146
Thanks.
147
I'll bring it right back.
148
So I think the fastest one is I will in this.
149
Instead of saying I will, we're going to say all, all.
150
It's not even I'll, it's just kind of like saying A-L-L, all.
151
I'll bring it.
152
I'll bring it right back.
153
I'm putting the emphasis on right because that means I won't be using it for very long.
154
I'll bring it right back.
155
I'll bring it right back.
156
So let's hear some more phrases that you can use.
157
This one is very common and great with strangers.
158
Oh, do you mind if I borrow this?
159
Do you mind if I borrow this?
160
I know a lot of people learn, can you loan me something?
161
But I think this is much more common to use the word borrow instead, meaning I will use it and give it back, right?
162
Do you mind if I borrow this?
163
Borrow, borrow.
164
Do you mind if I borrow this?
165
A little bit faster, especially if it's just a pen, and you just need it really quickly.
166
Can I borrow this for a sec?
167
Can I borrow this for a sec?
168
Meaning quickly for a second, for a minute.
169
Can I borrow this for a sec?
170
And this was our favorite phrase because you could use this even if you don't know the word for something.
171
Like maybe you for some reason forgot the word for chair.
172
You could go up to an empty chair and say, could I just, and then just point towards it.
173
And then maybe, you know, oh, could I just, sorry,
174
could I just, we use it as native speakers all the time because could I just get by you?
175
Could I just borrow your pen?
176
Could I just use this?
177
It doesn't really matter.
178
Could I just, and then show what you want to do.
179
Yeah, sure.
180
Go ahead.
181
Last time I used it, I was on a plane and I wanted to go to the bathroom, but there were two people next to me.
182
So I was just like, sorry, could I just?
183
Perfect.
184
That was it.
185
That was enough.
186
Isn't that funny?
187
Could I just, could I just?
188
Because you don't want to say like, get up and go to the bathroom because you could do a number of things.
189
Could I just get up?
190
Could I go to the bathroom?
191
You know, and it feels weird to ask somebody for permission for that.
192
Yeah.
193
Could I just?
194
Oh, yeah, sure.
195
Go ahead.
196
Okay.
197
So the final conversation we have here is getting past someone.
198
So maybe you're in a crowded place or there's a narrow space
199
and you need to get quite close to someone that you don't know.
200
And here's some polite things that you can say.
201
Sorry, can I just squeeze by?
202
Oh, of course, please.
203
Go ahead.
204
One more time.
205
Sorry, can I just squeeze by?
206
Oh, of course, please.
207
Go ahead.
208
Thanks very much.
209
okay so again we say these phrases so often we say them very quickly
210
so sorry can i just squeeze by can i just is
211
again the polite phrase just sounds small like we're asking a small favor that's not going to bother you
212
and it's going to be fast sorry can i just squeeze by so just and squeeze, squeeze starts with an S and just ends with an S.
213
So it blinks.
214
Just squeeze by.
215
Squeeze means get small or go through a small space.
216
So maybe we're in a crowded supermarket and there's a small gap.
217
Sorry, can I just squeeze by?
218
And in kind of typical fashion, we're a little bit overly polite.
219
Oh, of course, please go ahead.
220
We probably could have just said yes.
221
But all of these words together, we just use as many as we can just to fill the space, right?
222
Oh, of course.
223
Please go ahead.
224
But let's go faster.
225
Oh, of course.
226
It's kind of like, of course. Of course. Of course. Of course.
227
Yeah, that sounds right. Of course.
228
We don't even say the, of course.
229
Yeah, right oh of course please go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead
230
and in British English the of course the F sounds Monica V
231
and it's like V course yeah of course of course of
232
course of course I we sound more I I have more
233
of a sound like the F sound instead right thanks very much sense.
234
Thanks very much.
235
I like how you say, thanks very much, like so quietly.
236
It's almost quiet.
237
I sort of whisper it.
238
Well, maybe because I know I'm going to be close to you as well.
239
I don't want to say it loudly in your face, like right here.
240
Thanks very much.
241
Yeah.
242
Thank you.
243
Thank you so much for helping me.
244
Right.
245
And it's almost apologetic, like you're standing up in a cinema and you have to like shuffle sideways past everybody.
246
Sorry, can i just squeeze by sorry thank you well sorry
247
and you and you do it too like if you borrow a pen
248
and you're like oh i'm a little embarrassed i don't have a pen so oh thanks very much like
249
thank you thank you so much thanks very much okay
250
and last time some more phrases for the same situation try
251
and shadow me again i'll go smoothly and slowly and then more quickly sorry can i just
252
get by sorry can i just skip by excuse me can
253
i just get by you excuse me can i just get by you
254
so sorry let me just squeeze by you real quick so sorry let me just squeeze by you real quick
255
okay there you go lots of great phrases and remember the important thing is to try and and practice these out loud.
256
Not just understand them, but try and make these phrases easy to say automatically when you need them.
257
Next time you need to borrow something or just squeeze by somebody in public.
258
So if you enjoyed this fast-paced speaking practice and you want to practice short, quick videos focused on American English with me,
259
I have a brand new course out and it's a video course that's called Fluent and Friendly.
260
It's American English
261
and it basically helps you put all of those little words together to help you speak more quickly
262
and with a more natural intonation and rhythm.
263
Yeah, it's a brand new course from Kat.
264
There is a British one in the works, so eventually you'll be able to choose between the American voice or the British voice with me.
265
Mine's a work in progress.
266
It will be available on the store very soon in the near future.
267
But yeah, tell us in the comments which phrases did you like best today?
268
Let us know.
269
We read and reply to every message we get here on YouTube.
270
Thanks so much for listening today, and we will see you next time.
271
Bye-bye.

- What were you going to say?
- This one's a little bit hard because it's, are you using?
- Hey, are you using this?
הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה
הדובר משתמש ב-45 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו I'll, I'm, don't. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- הצלילים של “th”: smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/, rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/
- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, conversational /ˌkɒnvə(ɹ)ˈseɪʃənəl/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, shuffle /ˈʃʌfəl/

צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /w/ — שפתיים מעוגלות, לא /v/: squeeze /skwiːz/, sideways /ˈsaɪdweɪz/, whisper /ˈ(h)wɪspɚ/, quietly /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt.li/
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: borrow /ˈbɑɹ.oʊ/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, interrupt /ˌɪntəˈɹʌpt/, conversational /ˌkɒnvə(ɹ)ˈseɪʃənəl/, supermarket /ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
