I have an interesting story about it.

And besides that . . .

Oh, I nearly forgot . . .

And one more thing . . .

On the other hand . . .

would like to emphasize that . . .

Should I explain in greater detail?

Allow me to say it another way.

Passing

Can you tell me please . . . ?

Would you be interested in us talking about something else?

And what do you think?

Qualifying

To tell you the truth . . .

I presume that . . .

I hope that . . .

In my opinion . . .

If that is true . . .

I don’t know exactly.

I would like to think that . . .

The way I see it is that . . .

As you may know . . .

I don’t have a big interest in that.

If I understand correctly . . .

It is usually true that . . .

You never know, but . . .

Certainly. Why not?

I agree.

To sum up . . .

And there is the problem.

I hope it is only a matter of time.

That remains to be seen.

Filler

Understandably.

Frankly speaking . . .

Between you and me . . .

Anyway . . .

Well then . . .

Well, as a matter of fact . . .

How can I put it?

I must say that . . .

First . . .

Second . . .

I would like you to know that . . .

I am afraid that . . .

Now and then it seems to me that . . .

Without doubt.

When a person has an accent, it means he can speak one more language than you.

Here are a few things to observe about native speakers (by watching television or relating in person), especially those who are the same gender and age as you:

What clothes do they typically wear?
What facial expressions do they have as they speak?
What distance are they from other speakers?
What are they doing with their hands?
How do they handle personal grooming and what hairstyles do they have?
How and how fast do they walk?
What postures do they have when standing or sitting?
How much eye contact do they make?
What other unique features that make them different from you could you potentially emulate?

Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.
