In Italy we use a lot of bridge words too when we speak , and when my students speak english they use the italian bridge words to take time...I try to correct them by teaching to take a pause, but it's really hard and sometimes I am compelled to teach them to say ...well you know...ciao PaolaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048229334858323343.post-39388108647153826592011-06-02T10:55:50.920-04:002011-06-02T10:55:50.920-04:00P.S.

I know from ...Sally, thanks for leaving a comment!<br /><br />I know from Google analytics that just as many people are reading this blog as were in the past, but hardly anyone leaves comments these days, which is a loss. I miss the "conversations"that used to happen between folks who don't know each other in real life. So, to those of you have a response, write something!<br /><br />I'm glad, Sally, that I've inspired you in any way. That's gratifying.Julie H.

So far, you've inspired me to listen to myself speak and think and write; ride the knitting wave; and post Comments when I have them. I look forward, to, uh, you know, joining the, um, what's the word . . . conversation.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Sallyslowblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161640830807720915noreply@blogger.com
