• 00:21

  I keep needing to ask people for help.

• 00:24

  Well, that's only natural at the beginning.

• 00:27

• 00:32

  You can also use the word please,

  but don't make the mistake of thinking that's enough to make what you say polite.

• 00:40

  Er, OK.

• 00:45

  Hello, Anna.

• 00:46

  Oh, hi, Paul.

• 00:47

• 00:50
