“Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk”
— Stayin’ Alive by Bee Gees
“Well, shake it up, baby, now. Twist and shout.”
—Twist and Shout by The Beatles
“Well, it’s one for the money, two for the show…”
— Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins
Start your sentence with “well.”
Why?
Because that’s what native speakers do.
Example…
Q: What are you up to this weekend?
A: Well, first, I’m going to….
Q: What did you think of the movie?
A: Well, I thought….
Q: What do women want?
A: ___________
Also, it buys you a little extra time to think about what you’re going to say.
And it sounds a lot better than, “Umm…” or “Uuu…” or “Ahh…”
Have a great weekend,
