“I Don’t Understand”

Don’t Pretend to Understand (이해하는 척하지말자.)
Many English learners say “OK” even when they don’t understand. If you don’t understand directions, instructions, suggestions, or questions, use one of these phrases:

영어 학습자들의 대부분이 이해가 않됐을 때도 “OK” 라고 대답합니다. 만약 방향, 지시, 제안 또는 질문들을 이해하지못 할 경우에는 아래문장 중하나를사용하세요.

• Could you repeat that?
  다시 말씀해주실래요?
• Sorry, what’s your question?
  죄송합니다, 질문이뭐지요?
• Pardon?
  뭐라고요?
• Sorry, I didn’t catch that. (Sorry, I missed that)
  미안해요, 못들었습니다.
• Would you mind repeating that? (Could you run that by me again?)
  다시한번 말씀해주시겠어요?
• Could you slow down, please? My English is not that strong.
  천천히하면 안 될까요? 저는 영어가 아직 부족해요
• I don’t get it. (I don’t understand how to do it.)

• Would you mind spelling that for me?
  철자가 어떻게되나요?

  난 혼란스럽네요
• Sorry, I still didn’t catch that. (use after a repeated statement or question)
  미안하지만 아직 이해가 되지않습니다.(여러 번의 질문뒤에)
• That went right over my head. (the language or concept was too difficult)
  정말 이해가 되지않았어요. (주제나, 단어가 너무 어려울 때)
• You lost me.(informal)
  이해가 되질않아요(
• Say again? (very informal)

Excuses you can use: (변명으로 사용하는문장)

• I don’t speak English. (영어를 말하지못해요.)
• English is my second language.  (영어는 제 두 번째 언어입니다.)
• I’m not from here.  (나는 미국인이아닙니다.)

Don’t Assume they Understand you(상대방이 당신을 이해한다고 단정하지마세요)
Is the bus driver looking at you funny? Does the waitress look puzzled? Native English listeners sometimes pretend to understand too! Here are some phrases to use if you think your response, question, or statement was not understood:
(버스운전사가 당신을 이상하게봅니까? 웨이트리스가 이해못한 것처럼 보입니까? 원어민들도 가끔 이해못해도 이해하는 척합니다! 만약 당신이 답변, 질문 또는 말했을 때 상대방이 이해하지 못한 것 같을 때 밑에있는문장을사용하세요.)

• Did you catch that? 이해했습니까?
• Does that make sense? 말 됩니까?
• Let me try that again…다시 말하자면…
• Let me clarify…명확히 설명하자면…
• What I mean is…그게말이죠…
• That’s not what I meant.내 뜻은 그게 아니에요.
• Let me put it a different way.다른 식으로 말을하면요.
• Sorry, my pronunciation may not be correct.미안하지만, 나의 발음이 정확하지 않을수도 있습니다.

Tip: Don’t “nod” your head up and down and smile when you don’t understand. This will make others think you do understand. (Native speakers do this too.)

팁:  이해하지 못 했을 때 웃으면서 고개를 끄떡이지 마세요.  이 행동은 다른사람들이 당신이 이해했을거라고 생각하게만듭니다.
(원어민들도 그러합니다.)

“Thank you” “ 고맙습니다.”

Don’t be shy! Say “thank you” to someone every day. “Thank you” 라고 언제 어디서나 말하는 것을 부끄러워 하지마세요.!
