Today let’s talk about how to sound more natural in English when you use the phrase “by the way.”
Michelle and Lindsay will show you some great examples of how to use this phrase.
This phrase is useful to do two things:
- Bring up a random, unexpected topic
- To continue with the same topic, to add an idea linked to a previous idea
Listen to the episode for a few great examples of how to use “by the way” in English conversations with Lindsay and Michelle.
