Fluency & Coherence: Speak Without Long Pauses

Fluency & Coherence: Speak Without Long Pauses

Quick Guide

Fillers that sound natural, rephrasing tricks, and the daily speaking drill that halves your hesitation rate.

Review the checklist below before your next practice session:

  • Use discourse markers: "Let me think about that…".
  • Paraphrase instead of stopping: "In other words…".
  • Record yourself daily for one minute and count your pauses.
  • Answer in a three-part shape: direct answer, reason, example.
  • Slow down slightly — deliberate pace reduces mid-sentence emptiness.
