Welcome to The Practical English Podcast, hosted by Mike and Angela 🎙️
Have you ever been speaking English and suddenly… your brain stops?
You forget a word. You panic. You want to stop talking.

In this episode, we teach you how to keep speaking confidently — even when you forget vocabulary.

Because fluent speakers don’t know every word.
They just know how to continue the conversation.

This episode is perfect for A2–B1 learners who want to:
✔ stop freezing in conversations
✔ sound more natural
✔ speak with confidence
✔ improve communication skills

You’ll learn simple techniques that native speakers use all the time.

💬 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
1️⃣ Fillers (Natural Thinking Phrases)
These help you think while speaking:
Well…
Let me think…
It’s kind of…
It’s like…
You know…
What I mean is…
These make you sound natural — not nervous.

2️⃣ Paraphrasing (Explain the Idea)
If you forget a word, describe it!
Examples:

It’s similar to…
It’s something you use for…
It’s a type of…
It’s the opposite of…
It’s like a small machine that…
Example:
“I don’t remember the word, but it’s something you use to open a bottle.”
This keeps the conversation alive.

3️⃣ Stalling Techniques (Buy Time)
Instead of stopping, say:
I don’t remember the word, but…
How do you say…
What’s the word for…
I forgot the word — it’s like…
This shows confidence, not weakness.

⭐ Useful Mindset Tip
Fluency is not knowing every word.
Fluency is knowing how to continue speaking.
Confidence grows when you keep talking — not when you wait for perfect English.

🎯 Why This Episode Is Important
Most learners don’t struggle with grammar.
They struggle with fear.
When you learn how to handle “missing words,” your speaking becomes smoother and more natural.
