I really liked the comparison parts, they really showed me how much big of a difference could be made using pauses instead of crutch words. As you know, I use a lot of 'you know' in my speech 😅 and I really try to avoid that, but as you said it's sometimes good and natural to use fillers. Thanks for the lesson and I hope you have a wonderful new year with a lot of good things happening for you and your family.
Great to hear from you, Yashar! You've done the fist step in identifying the crutch phrase. And then just keep trying to avoid this. I've gone through this myself over the years. I also went through a period of using "you know" a bit too much. But noticing it helped me stop it. 👍
I teach my students to use fillers conscienciously and on purpose in order to gain control, speed up and feel more confident. Expressions like "well" and an "emm" here and there can be useful and natural. I agree as far as the repetitive use of standard expressions ist concerned, such as "sort of", " you know" as something automatic.
Avoid fillers seems really hard at the first time speaking English, but I know it is important to avoid fillers while I speak would be awesome. I'll work on it. Thanks so much for this video!!
Thank you for this lesson. First I thought what an ordinary topic you choose during the holidays, but seeing Mel Gibson, I realized this is the most important. Like making mistakes in writing is okay if we take notes but if we write an essay as a presentation, grammatical mistakes can make us to seem uneducated. Happy New Year!
A great lesson! Although i have a liitle speaking practice in my daily life, i usually use these fillers without notice. So i have to try to avoid them from now. Thanks so much and happy new year, teachers😍
My dad used to stop me if I said ‘um or er’. He would say ‘if you aren’t sure about what you’re saying, I don’t have time for it’. Possibly a little harsh when dealing with a child, but I don’t use these fillers today.
Haha!😂 I really loved the example of Mel Gibson, the original and the fake one😅 thanks so much for this lesson. Happy new year Wes to you and your family❤
😂😂 really pauses make you more confident . Please we need a video for words which are similar like " thing , issue , matter , important " and so many words so 🌻
One day I realized I used 'um' A LOT! Then I told myself: Myself, you should stop using that. It was a little difficult, but I did it. Thanks, Wes! Now I understand more about fillers. I really enjoyed this lesson. (The movie part) 🤣
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for sharing!! This has also happened to me. Years ago I said "you know" quite often. After realizing it, I was able to catch myself and slowly change. 😊
Hello sir. This was a really useful lesson. Because of these lessons I am very confident that one day I will be speaking and understanding like a native English speaker. I also have a little question, hope you won't mind asking me it. I had given a application for the transfer of my car title but it was refused and on it was written that my application has been regretted.what does word regret means in this context? Is it a typo or does word regret has more than one meaning?
Thanks for checking out the lesson. I've never heard of an application being "regretted." It may have been a mistake and they meant to say "rejected." 🤔
Thank you very much sir. Sir I would like to ask you regarding sentence, how to make a long sentence like News paper please this type of video. I'm Zubair Al mahmud from Bangladesh.
The classes are not separated by levels. The course is for intermediate to advanced speakers, so it's a little bit of mix. For more info, you can check out the course page: bit.ly/Join_Speak_Up 👍
But they'll never take ummm OUR FREEDOMMMM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm here because of the excessive use of fillers that I poured out as a guest on someone's podcast 😭😭😭😭😭🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ thanks for this lesson
@@InteractiveEng My dad always criticizes whenever I use those filler words. Sometimes more I look for words inside my head the less I find them and I end up using the filler word "Ahhhh" and the conversation looses it's momentum.
I keep imagining myself getting to an English-speaking country, right in the airport. I would be so nervous, so afraid of making mistakes. I would probably use many fillers during my speech. In fact, I use fillers even in my own language. As some poets say, words are many, thousands, millions, countless. I am only one person. I get lost trying to choose just some of them. Bye bye!!
No, wrong comment by speaker People don’t use fillers b c lose thought etc etc But b c they are unsure what they think, they don’t really know what their opinion is, thus they say uhm aah like. They have nothing to say and they say it And wrong comment again about ok in informal conversation: then you get into habit of disfluency. B c that’s 98% of our talking. 2% we speak in public. Thus, practice your talking during the day. Self awareness
From Gustav, Alert: lntense comment. might sound like a rant; Vicki said my issue with judgment and Americans being Elitist these days is "the worst I've seen in 50 years." Why do we have to agree with everything you say? We're never ALLOWED to have a different opinion & I thought Americans WANTED to have different opinions. Vicki'ed friend, Shannan Watts won 2 awards in advertising presentations she did for her company, She won awards and paid vacations to Punta Cana and the Caribbean because of the two ads that earned them lots of money. She said um and uh the whole time in two videos and won vacations & a Lexus. Le Vel, her company, cares more that she made LOTS of money for them and don't care about her language. It confuses me. Why can't you have both a good presentation that makes money? Vicki wonders that. That seems like the only gd thing they care about in English-speaking countries and I'm SICK of being spitted on because I won't place family below making money. Companies try to force you to "value overtime" even if it kills you getting there. I don't care how much they like money, but all their JUDGEMENTS of me because I don't think like them has to go. I'm allowed to have a different opinion than someone else without being make fun of because of it.
From Vicki: His boss told him he needs to place work above family because "work is what pays for you to afford a family." His boss's wife isn't thrilled with him right now.
Yes, it's natural. But you want to avoid them with effective speaking (presentations, speeches, etc). You also don't want to overuse them, which sometimes happens if learners have trouble finding the right words. 👍

What about the overuse of "And" is it considered a filler too?
Yes, some may also use that as a filler. Thanks for checking out the lesson. 👍

In many languages people use fillers when they're talking, but some people they use it too much, and it's stressful to hear them talking. 😣.

From Gustav, Alert: lntense comment. might sound like a rant; Vicki said my issue with judgment and Americans being Elitist these days is "the worst I've seen in 50 years."
Why do we have to agree with everything you say? We're never ALLOWED to have a different opinion & I thought Americans WANTED to have different opinions.
Vicki'ed friend, Shannan Watts won 2 awards in advertising presentations she did for her company, She won awards and paid vacations to Punta Cana and the Caribbean because of the two ads that earned them lots of money.

Is fillers or fillets?
I don't understand.
Isn't it part of sound like native English speaker?
Yes, it's natural. But you want to avoid them with effective speaking (presentations, speeches, etc). You also don't want to overuse them, which sometimes happens if learners have trouble finding the right words. 👍
