Lesson 10
What are the fillers?Muhammed: When I listen to native speakers, I notice that sometimes they are not totally fluent and often they stop and think about their words.
But when they do this, they use lots of small words to help them. I would like to learn how to use these small words, because I think they will be very helpful for me, but my problem is that I cannot hear them exactly. Can you help to explain the use of these small words for me?
