Filler Words

You never realize just how many filler words you use until you speak mostly in a foreign language. Not just "uuuhhh" or "ummm" but words and phrases like "like," "well," "I mean," and "you know." They stick out like sore thumbs, especially when you listen to someone else. I imagine this will be an aspect of fluency that will take time to master, having the instinct to use the Spanish filler words.
