When someone else talks, what’s a good way to make sure you understood?

Remember this phrase:

"Let me repeat what you said, to make sure I understood you correctly…"

I’m a native English speaker.  I still use this phrase 10 times a day.

Want to improve your language and communications ability?

Use that phrase.  Your listening ability will improve, and your connections to other people will improve, too.
