Repeat What
What is the proper way to ask someone to repeat what he said?
There are times when I ask people to repeat what he said because they had a strong accent, obviously English is not your first language. I respond by saying: "What?". Do you feel a bit rude? What is the correct way to ask someone to repeat what he said?
"Pardon Me" "Sorry, what?" "Huh?" Also, the tone and facial expression makes a big difference, if you act guilty and have a soft tone, it will appear that are not judgments about her accent and not being sarcastic or rude.
