I recorded myself yesterday. And then i listened. I said many times umm im😂😂 i saw your videos 😮 i will be carefull. I have to speak english at my work

[Dareios]

You mentioned in one of your videos that you are not an English teacher. But, while people who call themselves teachers tell us not to use perfectly normal phrases like „thank you“ and „you are welcome“, you are teaching us how to avoid filler words and filler sounds. If you are not a teacher, then I don‘t know who is. Thanks a lot for your effort!
