Showing Interest

ការបង្ហាញការចាប់អារម្មណ៍

Don't just stand there! Good conversation means showing the other person you are listening.

កុំគ្រាន់តែឈរស្ងៀម! ការសន្ទនាដ៏ល្អគឺត្រូវចេះបង្ហាញប្រាប់ដៃគូសន្ទនាថាអ្នកកំពុងតែស្តាប់គេយ៉ាងយកចិត្តទុកដាក់។

Hi Sokchea! Yes, you can, but ONLY if it is true for you! If someone says "I like coffee," you can say "Me too!" But if they say "I lost my phone," DO NOT say "Me too!" sentiment_very_satisfied Try saying "That's terrible!" instead.

What if I don't understand what they said? Should I still say "Wow"?

Good question! No, if you don't understand, saying "Wow" might be the wrong reaction! Instead, say: "Sorry, can you repeat that?" That also shows you are listening and care about what they are saying. record_voice_over

Just saying "Oh" by itself can sometimes sound like you are bored or don't care. It is better to add a little more: "Oh, really?" or "Oh, wow!" to sound friendly! sentiment_satisfied
