Do you sometimes struggle to understand spoken French, even though you've been learning the language for decades? Maybe you understand 80 to 90 percent of what someone says, but then they throw in a word that you're sure you've never heard before, and it leaves you feeling frustrated and confused. Most of the time, these are “filler words”; words that don't have much meaning, and don't really add anything to the conversation — and they're slowing down your oral comprehension! In today's lesson, I'll go over 9 of the most common filler words and French and what they mean. I'll also explain how they're slowing down your ability to understand modern spoken French, and what you can do about it going forward.
