Small slips, lost marks: These three come up again and again. Each has an easy fix.

Slip

  • um…, like… (English fillers)
  • En la foto había… (past tense)
  • No creo que es importante.

Fix

  • Bueno…, A ver…
  • En la foto hay… (present tense)
  • No creo que sea importante. (subjunctive)
Vary your phrases: Bueno before every sentence sounds nervous. Change your opener, linker and filler each time.
