Hello there, High Level listeners.

Welcome back to another fast English small talk episode here on High Level Listening.

Today, we're going to practice some more natural conversational ways to say sorry and excuse me in everyday English.

This will be a really great class to work on your pronunciation and fluency skills in speaking.

That's right.

These are short, friendly phrases that we use every day, and we can use them with strangers, co-workers, or friends.

And like usual, we'll share several small talk dialogues with you.

But today, we're really focusing on speaking and sounding more fluent, rather than focusing on the vocabulary or the grammar. Of course.

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.

And it's designed help you speak faster and more naturally with really short videos

that you can repeat over and over for some great speaking practice and you can find that in the description below

okay so let's look at the first dialogue today to help you sound more polite friendly

and fluent in english okay so i'm meeting someone new at a friend's party Oh, hey, sorry, I missed your name.

Oh, it's Mark.

Mark, got it.

Nice to meet you.

Okay, it was fast.

It was quick.

Let's try this one again.

Oh, hey, sorry, I missed your name.

Oh, it's Mark.

Mark, got it.

Nice to meet you.

Okay, so let's go through this a little bit slower.

I'm going to separate out all the words, and then I want you to hear it all together.

Hey, sorry, I missed your name.

So that missed and your, missed your name.

It's almost going to be a missed your, ch-ch-ch, missed your name.

Hey, sorry, I missed your name.

Oh, it's Mark.

And then slowly, oh, it's Mark.

In this situation, we don't say I am Mark.

Say it's Mark.

Oh, it's Mark.

Ah, Mark.

Got it.

Nice to meet you.

So let's separate it out a little bit.

Ah, like, oh, yes.

Ah, Mark.

So I usually, most people, especially Americans, will say the name back to you just to help with our memory.

Got it.

So instead of saying got it, in American English especially, we're going to say got it.

Got it.

It's more of a d sound.

Got it.

Meaning, yes, I understand.

Yeah, I got it.

I got it.

Nice to meet you.

So that T-O is not very important.

Nice to meet you.

That T is going to kind of move over to the U sound, and it's going to sound like a ch.

Meet you.

Mark, got it.

Nice to meet you.

So we also wanted to give you a couple of other phrases that you can practice with me.

What did you say your name was again?

Sorry, what was your name again?

Oh, good to meet you.

Oh, it is great meeting you.

Okay, here is the second conversation we have here.

This time I accidentally start talking while my co-worker is already speaking and I interrupt them.

Sorry, I cut you off there.

What were you going to say?

Oh, I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.

Ah, all right.

Got it.

Okay, these are fast, so we'll do it one more time.

Sorry, I cut you off there.

What were you going to say?

Oh, I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.

All right.

Got it.

Okay, we'll break down the lines slowly and separately, and then all together.

So if you want to apologize for interrupting.

Sorry, I cut you off there.

What were you going to say?

Again, it's in the past tense.

What were you going to say?

But it's shorter or faster.

What were you going to say?

Just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.

I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.

So I was just saying, I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.

I was just saying we could move the meeting to Friday.

All right.

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.

FOR YOU

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
