Hang on to
to keep something :
As you continue speaking being more accurate and being more fluent at the same time helps the listener to kind of hang on to the conversation a lot more easily without any confusion because there’s times you know where you might be speaking to someone they’re very fluent but they’re not that accurate so you’re listening to them you’re engaged in the conversation and then there’s sometimes where you’re like what is he talking about and what are they talking about, I don’t understand.
Guess what?
「Guess what」は、日本語で言うところの「ねぇ、ちょっと聞いてよ」に近い表現で、これから自分が話し出す内容に相手が興味を示してくれるよう、話の前置きとしてよく用いられます。基本的にビックニュースや何か重大なお知らせを述べる時に使いますが、実際のところ、他愛もないことをあえて大げさに言ったり、冗談としてだったり、話題の大小に関係なく使っている人もよくいます。
「Guess what?」と言われたらシンプルに「What?」と返事するのが一般的。
本当に大事なこと伝える際に、「よく聞いてね」のニュアンスとして言いたいのであれば「Listen up」が適切。
Guess what? John is getting married.
（ちょっと聞いて。ジョンさん結婚するんだって。）
