On numerous occasions, when speaking in English you may find yourself in moments of hesitation. It is at these moments that fillers, or filler words, come into play. These are words or phrases that, while often meaningless, are essential to sound more natural and save time when thinking about what to say next.
By using fillers, your speech becomes more like that of native speakers, as these small words and sounds are ubiquitous in conversational English. In addition, fillers not only give you time to think, but they can also soften your utterances or make your speech sound less abrupt.
Reduction is another important technique that can make your speech sound more fluent and natural. One example is how native speakers often omit the "G" in words ending in -ING. Not only does this slightly change the pronunciation, but it is also a sign of more advanced proficiency.
Practicing alone can be a great way to improve your fluency without the pressure of speaking in front of others. Try creating a dialogue in which you play both roles: you and a supposed friend. Here are some tips:
By following these steps and tips, you will gradually become more natural and fluent like a native English speaker. Keep practicing and don't hesitate to seek feedback to constantly improve!
