Informal fillers and connectives
In this post I want to go through some informal expressions, fillers, structures and connectives.
They are important because they are common, and therefore you'll hear them and need to understand them.
All of the vocab in this post can be found in this videotask, so have a look at the dialogues included there to see all of these in context ;)
