In this episode, Thiago discusses the use of filler words in English to sound more conversational. He provides a list of common filler words and phrases, such as 'um', 'like', 'you know', 'well', 'so', 'actually', 'basically', 'I mean', 'sort of', 'kind of', 'right', 'okay', 'in other words', 'to be honest', 'I guess', 'or something', 'just', 'anyway', 'seriously', and 'literally'. Thiago also emphasizes that while filler words can be helpful for lower-level learners to develop fluency, advanced speakers should use them sparingly to avoid distracting communication.
