First of all, it's really great you're asking this question! I would say not to finish what he's trying to say - unless he asks you to. Maybe he will say at one point "you know what I mean" or "that ...

Yeah, some days I have trouble with saying A-words, so I can't say hello to people in my language. All I can do is smile and hold out my hand. So. Much. Cringe. ...

I feel you, I block really bad and when I get on and off the bus, or walk into a store or some shit I always try to say hello and goodbye but sometimes it just doesn't come out. Also when introducing ...

Sometimes it helps me to put a word or two ahead of the persons name if I feel a block coming. For example saying “Hey ____!” Or “Oh hey ____”. Or even clearing my throat out loud before I speak. Migh...
