Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Sunday Speak. I'm here every Sunday with a
quick one point tip to help you speak English more naturally.
Sometimes you need to ask someone to wait. In situations
like this, you could say please wait a moment and
sure that's correct English, but it sounds a bit formal
and not something we usually say to friends or co
workers in everyday conversation. We have a more natural and
friendly way to ask someone to wait, hang on. Like
when you're on the phone and need to check something,
you can say, hang on, let me grab my notes.
Or if you're in the middle of doing something and
your friend says, hey, can you look at this, you
can say hang on a second. Even if someone's talking
too fast, you can say something like oh, hang on,
say that again, hang on. It's short, casual, and really natural.
So next time, instead of please wait a moment, just
say hang on. And remember to like, follow and subscribe
