That's in the description, so let me share

Seventy-five ways for you to do this so that you never hesitate to join any English conversation again alright, let's begin

Before we learn interjections which are ways to interrupt in a conversation

I want to make a point you need to have something to say you need to have a purpose

Don't just interrupt and then say nothing plan ahead a little bit what you're gonna say or just keep it really simple

You could just show your understanding or you could agree or disagree

but it's a good idea to be ready to follow up your

Interjection with something to say if someone is talking and talking and talking really fast

And they don't give you any time to join the conversation then try to wait for them to

Pause at the end of a phrase or to take a breath

I mean eventually they have to breathe right so that's a great time to politely jump into a conversation

Okay, first of all let's begin with attention getters attention getters are categories of words that don't really have any

meaning

But we use them all the time even more often than regular

Vocabulary words to get other people's attention so number one is not even a word

I'm sorry, but it's a great way to

Interject into a conversation. It is to clear your throat

Go ahead repeat boom next um

three hmm four

Five oh

well

so

Hey

Now hey is a little bit casual so as we go

I'll point out different words or phrases that are more formal or more casual number nine

Say someone's name in the conversation so for example James

And then of course you're gonna follow that up with the purpose of why you're interrupting for example James

that's a great idea ten guys so guys can be used in a group of men or women or

Just men or just women or both

It doesn't matter and eleven is the formal version guys

Ladies and gentlemen so only use this in really formal situations or when you're trying to be funny in a casual situation

Guys can be used in pretty much any conversation, but it's not super formal

So just try to observe a little bit and see if it would be appropriate if other people are saying guys

Otherwise you might want to substitute this with everyone

For example everyone, I think that's a great idea everyone is appropriate in

professional situations

Next number 12, we're going to talk about several phrases. You can use to add information

I need to add something here. Can I just say something here now?

This is a question. Don't wait for a response you don't need permission

This is just a way to get people's attention so you can go right into what you'd like to say can

I just say something here. I think that's a great idea 14. Can I just add something here 15 may?

I add I'd like to add. Let me add something that reminds me for this one. You'd want to tell a connected or related

Story or piece of information for example that reminds me

We need to prepare the report for next week next up

We have several phrases that are literally asking to interrupt in a conversation, so let's go

Let me interrupt a second or in faster more casual English. Let me interrupt a second

I'm sorry to interrupt, but I don't mean to interrupt, but sorry for interrupting but

Can I stop you there for a moment can I just butt in for a second can I just mention something?

excuse me for interrupting but

Excuse me. I'd like to say something

Excuse me for butting in but that's a lot of but just a moment I'd like to

Next we have several phrases to jump in a phrasal verb that means to join a conversation

Let me jump in or let me jump in but again

We blend sounds together, and it'll sound like lemme jump in do you mind if I jump in here?

Can I jump in here? Do you mind if I come in here?

I don't mean to intrude, but now this one is more for joining a conversation that you're not already part of like if you

Overhear other people talking and you want to join their conversation, I don't mean to be rude

But and this one is also for joining a conversation that you're not already part of may

I interject this one is super formal and never used, so I don't recommend using it

But it's good to know now

If you're in a meeting or in a class you might like these next phrases before we move on to the next

points may I add

Before you move on I'd like to say something before you go on I'd like to say something

and we have

Pardon me now. I personally never use pardon me

I don't know if it's more British English or just old school

But I can tell you it's not used as often as excuse me now you can also use

Asking for clarification as the perfect way to interrupt in a conversation

You could ask could you clarify that

Sorry

Could you explain that a little more do you mean that and then when you use this one you need to summarize what you?

Understand the person has already said so for example. Do you mean that you think that's a great idea?

Would you tell us a little bit more about that could you clarify that last point before we move on?

Would you mind explaining that a little more could you explain that more fully?

Next let's look at phrases for asking for time for example to jump into a conversation

Hold on. Just a minute wait. What about can we just pause a second, let's see

one quick thing

Just one thing just let me say

Listen next sharing your opinion is a great way to

Interject in a conversation, so let's look at a few ways to do that. I think I agree. I disagree. I don't agree

I'm not sure about that. That's great. That's interesting now. Be careful with your tone your tone has to match your meaning

That's interesting is very different than that's interesting. Do you hear the difference?

I hope so you can also interrupt to bring other people into the conversation

Reach out to others who are quiet in a group for example?

What's your opinion James?

What do you think James James? Do you agree as far as I'm concerned?

personally I believe

The way I see it

That's right. That's correct

one of my favorite words to use as an introduction is

actually

Finally you could use suggestions to interrupt. It would be interesting -

Why don't we?

How about and?

finally

You don't need to say any of these words or phrases you can just say

What you want to say just speak up and jump in a conversation however?

I think these 75 words and phrases will really help you to jump in and to

Combat those fast and loud speakers that never allow you time to jump in well

sometimes you need to jump in and take it for yourself so be brave be fearless and

Learn to use at least some if not all of these
