Stop saying “I don’t understand”: What to say instead
What was that? You want to improve your spoken English and say more than just“I don’t understand”? In this lesson, I will teach you how to let someone know that you did not hear them, did not understand them, or that you simply were not listening to what they were saying. Learn how to ask for repetition, how to admit fault, and how to ask clarifying questions to connect with others and their words. Some of the responses you will learn in this lesson are: I didn’t catch that, My mind was somewhere else, Wanna run that by me one more time, I didn’t follow that, I didn’t get that, I have no clue what you just said, Could you repeat that last part again, and more. Grow your speaking and listening confidence by studying and using these helpful declarations and questions today. Don’t forget to check out the quiz once you’re done.

Hello there, The quiz no. 10 I’ve answered correctly but didn’t understand the question.
“Wanna run that by me one more time?” is another way to say “Could you please say that again because I didn’t understand?”
Thanks, Alex.

Toujours excellent, comme d’habitude ! Je n’ai pas besoin de te faire répéter.
Ca marche, le français ?? (casual expression).
Salut! Oui, je fais des progres, mais la rout est longue. :p
Great lesson! I was so tired of hearing myself saying “I don’t understand.”
And “Cheese doesn’t actually exist” has made my day :)
I’m French and I KNOW that cheese has a intense reality!

I like your invitation to repeat the replays loudly because it helps me to improve my pronunciation.
It’s a lesson for intermediate, I’m a beginner. But I think i caught it.
