You read English, you understand English, you've been learning for years, but when it's time to speak, your mind just freezes and the words don't come out.

This isn't about perfect grammar or fancy vocabulary, but this is about your voice, your words, your real English.

You're in the middle of a conversation in English, things are going just fine and then suddenly you forget one simple word.

I've seen this happen so many times, even to advanced learners who've been studying English for years.

Forgetting words is not a sign that your English is bad.

Not the forgotten word itself, but that feeling of, oh no, I can't say this.

It's about finding your way around the words you forget.

But before we start, I want to tell you about something special I'm running next week, a free live training called Present Not That Simple.

After working with my voice loop groups for a while and basically after working 13 years with all my students, I noticed something interesting.

The one everyone thinks is basic is actually tricky for many B1 and higher level students.

Your English doesn't sound as smooth as you want.

where you will see what's really stopping your English from flowing naturally.

So grab your spot and let's finally make the present simple work for you.

Nine phrases that will help you when you forget a word in English.

You know what most of us do when we forget a word?

Say I forgot the word.

Because fluent speakers also forget words.

For example, what's the name of that actor from Interstellar?

What's the word for?

What's the word for extremely tired?

What do you call it in English?

What do you call it in English?

Perfect for formal contexts as well.

Oh no, I've just forgotten the word.

Oh no, I've just forgotten the word.

It's like when people meet to exchange books, for example.

So you forgot the word book swap.

So remember, forgetting a word doesn't make you less fluent.

On Wednesdays we still have two spots left at 6pm for B1 plus slash B2 level learners.

The Tuesday group at 5.20 pm is perfect for you.

Oh no, I've just forgotten the word.

Now you've got a set of really useful phrases to tackle everyday challenges in English and you know how to use them.

If you've ever felt that even simple grammar, like the present simple, sometimes trips you up or you're not 100% confident you're saying things correctly, I've got something for you.

Thank you for listening.

Bye for now and see you at the training.
