Do you ever freeze when speaking Spanish and need a moment to think? In this video we talk about muletillas — the small words and phrases Spanish speakers use all the time to buy themselves a little thinking time. Expressions like pues…, a ver…, es que…, bueno, la verdad es que…, mira…, or even ehhh… help keep the conversation flowing naturally.
The bonus is that these phrases don’t just help you think while speaking — they also make you sound much more Spanish, because native speakers use them constantly in everyday conversation. Listen to our real Spanish conversation, learn how these expressions work, and start using them yourself.
