When you are trying to learn Cebuano, everything around you sounds strange
and different from what you are learning.  It's because native speakers speak automatically and in a natural speed.  However, when you actually listen closely, you'd realize that you know and are familiar with what people are saying.  Here are some expressions that you can use when you want to ask for clarification.
