You don't need to ask a question just saying "please excuse me " and make the body language of passing by will work. I don't agree with the poster who said that saying "sir" or "ma'am" is too formal.

Flash cards work for me. As always you had to continue to hear them. You can't memorize a word and then not use it . Of course you'll forget! You have to keep on saying it and using it
