Uncomfortable Questions and How You Should Deal with Them in English

One of the challenges of speaking in another language is that we can be more easily caught off guard ( = feel shocked or surprised) when asked uncomfortable questions like… So, why don’t you have kids yet? Why aren’t you two married yet? How’d you lose your job? Why are you still single? And the list goes on. The truth is, we all have nosy neighbors or colleagues. Or sometimes someone is just a little too curious. Sometimes people ask questions they wouldn’t normally ask or that they know they shouldn’t! Those kinds of uncomfortable questions shock you. In fact, you might be thinking, “Seriously?!? Did you just ask that?” But in the moment, you feel worried or stressed about how you should deal with the question. It’s difficult to know what to do or say in your second language. In today’s Confident English lesson, you’ll get several strategies of how to deal with uncomfortable questions and specific examples you can start using today. 📝 Get the full lesson at __________________________________________________________________ ★ ENGLISH CONFIDENCE & FLUENCY ONLINE Get my free training “How to Say What You Want in English” ➜ Free Masterclass on How to Answer ‘Tell Me About Yourself’ in Job Interviews ➜ __________________________________________________________________ ★ LEARN WITH ME Confident Women Community ➜ Fluency School ➜ Confident Job Interviews ➜ __________________________________________________________________ Hi, I’m Annemarie — an English teacher whose expertise is in spoken communication, confidence-building, and fluency.
