Thank you Lucy! I really appreciate your lessons and I am learning a lot!

Thank you Lucy for teaching me these nice words to use more politely in English instead of saying I can't and I don't understand. I love joining your English class everyday Lucy. You sre great always

Love this lesson! I’m glad to find your channel Lucy!💕

Love you Lucy!! I adore your lessons!! 😍😍 It helps me a lot. Is so hard talk to natives and have to ask many times to them to repeat. I appreciate it so much!!💙

The most lovely english teacher I've known. It's lovely how you deliver the lessons, Lucy. Thanx a bunch

Hi Lucy, your teaching is very helpful for me😊 You’re such a good teacher!

Very useful lesson, a very sensible approach to what seems to be an easy question at first. This was great as it helped me figure out what was missing from my own English practice . Thank you for this informative piece of work!

Dear Lucy I just found your channel a couple of days ago and wished I had found you earlier. Your friendly nature and your ability to explain english in an easy and understandable way is amazing and because of that you have now a new subrscriber!🥳 I can see without a doubt that you love what you do. Keep up the great work! 👏

Great video Lucy.... carrying everyone along with your pronunciations and using several examples is good job done. Thank you.

I love your lessons and have been learning a lot from you. Right now, I'm living in California and my wife is still learning the basics of English and your videos are great tools for both of us, thanks!

Lucy, I really enjoy your videos. Even though a simple expression, you give a very indept analysis. Being a foreigner, what we can learn from dictionary is only the surface meaning of a word or expression. We have no idea what will be the feedback from a native speaker to different kind of expressions. With you explaination, not only could I understand the effect of different expressions but also the UK culture. Great thanks!

I find saying "Sorry (pause) What was that?" better than "What was that sorry?" Because the "Sorry" prepares them. As a deaf person, I say this a lot, and with people wearing masks, I'm like "I'm terribly sorry but I'm deaf and I need to lip read, is it possible you can remove your mask and repeat that?" As I rely on lip reading and I'm glad your videos come with subtitles.

Thanks for the excellent episode, Lucy. It's most helpful. As a native Chinese who grew up being taught British English, we learnt and took 'pardon' as a standard way to request repetition. But it's only natural for Received Pronunciation and very formal grammar which is widely associated with it to be taught together, though in real life I never say 'pardon', lol. xD

Hi Lucy! I really enjoy this channel and the way you present your contents!! I just recalled when I started studying English and how much I struggled. Most of the times, I didn’t catch what other people were telling me, mainly because of the structure of the sentences, words or way of saying they were using. Hence, hearing the same sentence again wasn’t that helpful. Instead, asking for rephrase the sentence allowed me to understand what they wanted to say to me as well as learn different ways of explaining the same concept

The trouble is, the shorter you make it, the less polite it sounds. That's why 'What?' is really impolite. Even "Say again, please" would seem disrespectful if you were asking for directions, talking to a person you just met, or talking to your boss. 'Sorry?' is unique because it's short but still very polite.

In aviation radio communication, it is critical to understand exactly what Air Traffic Controllers say, so if a pilot (who often is, like me, a non-native English speaker) doesn’t quite catch it, there’s a standardized request: “Say again”. It might not be the most polite or posh request, but brevity is at a premium over the radio.
