LUKE: Hello? Hi, Stephanie, how are things at the office?
STEPHANIE: Hi, Luke! How are you? Can you please stop and pick up 
extra paper for the computer printer?
LUKE: What did you say? Can you repeat that, please? Did you 
say to pick up ink for the printer? Sorry, the phone is 
cutting out.
STEPHANIE: Can you hear me now? No, I need more computer paper. 
Listen, I’ll text you exactly what I need. Thanks, Luke. 
Talk to you later.
LUKE: Thanks, Stephanie. Sorry, my phone has really bad
reception here.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• There are a few ways to express a lack of understanding and to request additional 
information. The most common ones are stated, but you can also say “Excuse me” or 
simply “I can’t hear you.” In a more formal situation, try saying “I’m sorry?” or “I beg 
your pardon?” (with a rising intonation).
• When asking someone to clarify information try saying Can you please repeat that? / 
Can you spell that for me? / Can you please write down the address for me?
• Cutting out describes a difficulty in understanding a caller due to poor cellphone 
reception. If you are having trouble understanding the caller, you can also say The 
line is breaking up / I am losing you. If the phone call is disconnected because of poor 
reception, you can say The call dropped.
• Talk to you later is the equivalent in a phone conversation of “See you later” in a 
regular, face-to-face conversation.
• Reception here means the availability of cellular service, the possibility to receive and 
give calls on a cellphone. Cellphone reception can be limited in remote areas, inside 
large buildings or underground (in the subway, for instance).

Listen to me reading a news article about education in the UK from my Conversational English course. 

T-levels are a new type of exam course that was rolled out in the UK in 2020. T-Levels are two-year vocational courses taken after GCSEs, which focus on subjects like education, construction and IT, and include a work placement.

Toujours plus haut !
- On m’appelle le grand aigle. Quand j’étais tout petit, je n’avais que du duvet blanc sur les ailes. Il ne fallait pas bouger du nid. Je voyais passer les nuages dans le ciel et je me disais: Vivement que je sois grand!
Et maintenant, regardez-moi au-dessus des montagnes, dans le ciel! Je tourne en vol plané en étalant mes longues ailes! Je suis un aigle et je vole même au-dessus des nuages!

As a language coach, my primary goal is to help people become better communicators. This is more important than learning the language perfectly.
