La réponse en bref
How smart people say 'Are you listening to me?'
"Are you listening to me?" can sound annoyed, so most people use a softer question. Ask "Does that make sense?" to check your explanation, "Did you catch that?" to check that they heard you, and "Are you with me?" when someone's attention drifts. Lines like "Are you following me?" and "Any questions so far?" also work well at work or in class.

Comprendre chaque réplique
-
Does that make sense? Ton: Soft and polite
Use it after you explain something, like a plan or an instruction. It checks your words, not their attention, so it doesn't sound like you're blaming the other person.
“Does that make sense?”
-
Did you catch that? Ton: Casual quick check
Use it when the other person might not have heard you, for example in a noisy place or on a bad phone line. Here, catch means hear or understand. It is too casual for a formal presentation.
“Did you catch that?”
-
Are you with me? Ton: Direct but friendly
Use it when someone drifts away while you are talking. It's friendly with friends and coworkers. With a boss or a client, a softer line like "Does that make sense?" is safer.
“Are you with me?”
-
Are you following me? Ton: Neutral, a little formal
Use it in the middle of a long or complex explanation. It asks if the person can follow your steps. Don't use it too often in one conversation, or it can sound like you think the listener is slow.
-
Am I making sense? Ton: Humble and warm
Use it when you are not sure your explanation is clear. It puts the responsibility on you, so it's very polite. It works well in meetings and with people you don't know well.
-
Are we on the same page? Ton: Friendly, work-style
Use it to check that you both agree on a plan, not only that the person heard you. It's common at work. Avoid it when you only want to know if someone heard a simple fact.

À corriger
Are you listening me?Formulation conseillée Are you listening to me?
The verb listen needs the preposition to before the person or thing you hear. You can say "Are you listening?" with no object, but not "listening me."

À corriger
A: Are you with me? B: Yes, I'm with me.Formulation conseillée A: Are you with me? B: Yes, I'm with you.
The answer changes the pronoun. Theo says "I'm with you" in the Short because he means he is following Nadia's idea.
-
À corriger
Does it make sense for you?Formulation conseillée Does that make sense? / Does that make sense to you?
With make sense, English uses to for the person, not for. Most speakers just say "Does that make sense?" with that pointing back to what they said.
