Spoken French can be difficult to speak and understand, no matter how long you’ve been studying and practicing. But by learning certain things, you can make an almost instant boost to your French fluency.
One of these things is filler words. Once you know how to identify French filler words, you’ll start to hear them everywhere — and with today’s lesson, you can even start to use them yourself!

Take care and stay safe.
