What to Say in Awkward Situations - Part 1

Knowing what to say in awkward situations can be tricky. Even if you have great English conversation skills, some situations can bring up strong emotions and feelings, which can cloud your thoughts.

In this week’s video, I’ve put together a few easy-to-remember expressions that you can use when you find yourself in these situations.

Some of them are quite lighthearted - like when your friend or partner has cooked a meal that you didn’t enjoy, and you want to be honest with them, but you don’t want to hurt their feelings.

Other situations are more serious - like when your friend’s loved one has passed away.

How can you approach these conversations in a caring, honest way? How can you show your support? These expressions will help you do that.

If you’ve ever been in an awkward situation, share it with the community in the comment section.

Let’s help each other out with this one!
