can make you feel a little nervous, can't it?

Sometimes it's hard enough to think of just the words to say,

let alone the expressions that you need to get yourself

out of trouble. Have you ever been in a situation like this?

some of the expressions from this lesson today

will definitely help and my first piece of advice is to just be honest.

You can say it with a little grin to make a joke out of it

or you can say it sincerely just to let the people know

maybe you need a little bit of extra support.

What if you're asking a question and you're not sure

if it's appropriate or acceptable to ask that question?

This can sometimes happen when you're talking to someone

Oh gosh what about when you forget something that you know
