"What was that??"

Have you ever felt sure your phrase was correct English, but then a native speaker responded "What was that? I didn't understand..."

It’s frustrating. It’s confusing. And often, it’s because you used a wrong “little” word, incorrect pronunciation, or you confused two similar words.

The good news? You can avoid this!
