Have you ever been asked a question in English and suddenly your mind just goes blank? Has that ever happened to you? Maybe someone says, “What do you think about remote work?” Or, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” And inside your head you’re thinking, “Wait… give me a second…” Well, native speakers don’t always answer immediately either. In fact, we use small phrases to buy time while we think. We use phrases like, “Let me think…” “That’s a good question…” “I’ve never really thought about that…” Or small words like, “Well…” and “Actually…” These little phrases help you sound fluent - even when you’re still organizing your thoughts. And that’s what today’s podcast English lesson is all about.Happy English Podcast – Speak English Naturally I’m Michael from Happy English, and I help people speak English more naturally, confidently, and clearly.🎥 Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcasts📘 Build your vocabulary with my free Vocabulary Workshop:https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup🌐 Learn more about my English lessons and courses:https://www.myhappyenglish.com
