2522 - What to Say When You Lose Your Train of Thought

In this episode of All Ears English, Lindsay and Aubrey discuss what to say when you lose your train of thought in English conversations. They emphasize the importance of avoiding pauses and maintaining connection by using phrases that prompt the other person to help you remember what you were saying. They share three phrases: "What was I saying?", "Where was I?", and "Never mind, it’ll come back to me," and provide role-play examples to illustrate how to use them effectively. They also highlight the importance of active listening and collaboration in conversations, and offer advice on how to handle situations where neither person can remember the topic. The episode concludes with a recommendation to check out their recent episode on grammar mistakes and false starts in real English conversations.
