A filler like «bueno… a ver…» sounds natural, buys a moment to think and keeps your Interactive mark alive — silence costs marks.
Question
How many toolkit phrases per category should you learn?
Answer
Just two or three per job, learned until automatic — a small, well-practised kit beats a long list you can't recall.
Question
Why should fillers stay in Spanish, not English?
Answer
An English «um» or «like» breaks the flow of your Spanish and can cost Language marks — use «bueno…» or «a ver…» instead.
Question
What's the danger of overusing one phrase like «bueno»?
Answer
It becomes a distracting tic that sounds nervous — vary your phrases and connectors to earn Language marks.
Question
Are toolkit phrases enough on their own?
Answer
No — they're the glue. You still need real, meaningful content between them; glue with no message scores nothing.
