About this episode

This episode explores various natural ways to apologize in English depending on different situations.

Oops, sorry about that. My bad. I’m really sorry. I apologize for the confusion. No worries. Don’t worry about it. Apologizing in English seems simple, right? You just say, “I’m sorry.” But actually, there are lots of different ways to apologize depending on the situation. If you bump into someone at the supermarket, you probably won’t say, “I sincerely apologize.” And if you accidentally send the wrong file to your boss, maybe “Oops, my bad” is not the best choice either. So today, we’re going to look at how people really apologize in English - naturally.
