#426: How I Use CONNECTORS and FILLERS to Speak English More Fluently — Learn This to Stop Sounding Like a Robot in English
If you have the issue of sounding like a robot when you speak English and not really being your true self, then today’s lesson will be perfect for you. There are small but powerful tools called fillers and discourse markers that make your speech flow naturally and sound more conversational. Fillers do more than just fill pauses; they help to organize your thoughts, manage conversations, and even show your emotions or attitude. And that’s what you’ll learn and practice in today’s lesson, all in a fun and interactive way with Ethan and Izzy. Let’s get started!
By the end of this episode, you will learn:
- What fillers and discourse markers are
- Which filler word Ethan uses the most and whether he can spot any fillers Ksenia used by analyzing a clip from an earlier podcast episode
- Why filler words are like spices and why you should be mindful of how much you use them.
