Lindsay: 我在学习探戈的过程中，即使已经学习过多次，仍然感到困惑时，我会直接向老师寻求帮助，因为课程是为了我们这些初学者而设计的。即使在学习过程中感到尴尬或已经学习过多次，也应该克服这种感觉，主动寻求帮助，因为学习的目的是为了自己掌握知识。在工作中，如果对已经讲解过的内容仍然不理解，应该主动寻求额外的帮助，这在职场中非常重要。有时难以理解新知识，可能是因为讲解者没有很好地解释清楚，他们往往会忽略一些初学者需要学习的基础知识。有时别人讲解的内容难以理解，是因为他们默认你已经掌握了某些背景知识，而忽略了这些知识的讲解。当我们对某个概念非常了解时，反而难以向他人解释清楚，这就是“知识的诅咒”。
Michelle: 寻求额外帮助时，可以先承认这不是第一次讲解，然后解释原因，再提出问题，最后表示感谢。寻求帮助时，可以先说明“我知道这不是你第一次解释了”，这样可以缓解尴尬。寻求帮助时，可以说“我需要复习一下”，或者“我快学会了，只需要再讲解一次”。表达需求时，可以选择不同的表达方式，例如强调自己已经很接近目标，而不是直接指出自己的不足。寻求帮助时，可以解释自己为什么需要再次讲解，例如缺乏练习或经验。是否需要解释自己为什么需要再次讲解，取决于具体情况，例如在课堂上可以随意一些，但在工作中可能需要更详细的解释。在工作中寻求帮助时，需要考虑对方是否需要额外付出时间和精力，并根据情况调整请求方式。在工作中寻求帮助时，可以说明自己卡在了哪个具体步骤上。寻求帮助时，可以使用委婉的表达方式，例如“您介意帮我复习一下吗？”寻求帮助时，可以使用一些委婉的表达，例如“您介意再帮我讲解一遍吗？”或“您介意再带我走一遍流程吗？”寻求帮助后，一定要表达感谢。不要害怕寻求帮助，因为掌握新技能会提升自信心。通过角色扮演，展示了如何寻求帮助的具体表达方式。通过角色扮演，展示了如何使用“我快学会了，但卡在一些步骤上”这种积极的表达方式来寻求帮助。寻求帮助时，要巧妙地表达，并承认自己需要再次讲解。寻求帮助时，不要假装自己已经掌握了，而应该诚实地承认自己的不足。在寻求帮助之前，可以先尝试自己完成任务，并记录下遇到的问题，这样可以更有效地寻求帮助。

Michelle: 'So today we're going to go over what to say in these situations. And, you know, this is also very powerful for business. I mean, you know, like let's say you're working on something and something already went over, somebody already went over something with you and either, you know, whatever it is because you haven't done it that much or lack of repetition or maybe you just didn't understand. You have to ask them again and you just may need some extra handholding. Yeah.'
Lindsay: 'I've definitely been in that situation where somebody's trying to teach me something and they do kind of, you're wondering, why can't I understand this? And it's, when you think about it, you realize exactly it's what you said, Lindsay. They kind of assume that you have some background on something. So they skip over certain things. Yeah. It's the curse of knowledge. I think somewhat, maybe'
Michelle: 'Ultimately, don't be afraid to ask for help, but you have to be smart about it, right? We have to think about how are we going to phrase it. We want to acknowledge that'
Lindsay: 'oh okay yeah uh yeah would you mind walking me through it again of course let's do one together thank you so much yes all right so the first thing i said was i'm really close to being able to do this on my own so i use that glass half full type perspective right which is really good but i'm still a little hung up on some of the steps of the form it means i'm stuck'
