@vusithembekwayo_official: People often use words like "um," "uh," "you know," "basically," and "literally" because their brains need a moment to catch up and think. These filler words are a way to slow down the conversation and give themselves time to organize their thoughts. To communicate more effectively, it’s better to remain calm, slow down, and speak thoughtfully without relying on these odd words. By taking a moment to pause and breathe, you can articulate your ideas more clearly and confidently, creating a more engaging and professional presence. This approach not only enhances your communication skills but also helps you connect better with your audience, making your message more impactful and memorable. #vusithembekwayo

For me it’s usually an issue of articulation, I usually do know what to say but because I’m not fluent or proficient enough in English I end up using them😔😔

I don't entirely agree .I hv listened to some highly educated ppl & politicians using delaying phrases. Not because they talk fast, but fhey battle to articulate in English. Vernacular, they flow

..."and keep quite, it's allowed." Very important words, I wish I knew this earlier. We're often afraid of the silence. We say it's "awkward", when it's actually necessary & normal.
