English fillers to speak fluently. ( Gap fillers) - Free English lessons

When we speak continuously we end up using gap fillers. These words are short phrases and are used when we fall short of words. You would commonly come across people who end up making vocal sounds to keep a conversation going such as 'umm', 'ah' or 'oh' etc., They end up up doing this subconsciously but it’s better to avoid them as they are signs of weakness.

Here in this lesson we don’t encourage you to use fillers, but there are times when we hesitate in the middle of a conversation and search for words to keep going.
