The secret fluent speakers never tell you

Fluent speakers make mistakes too. They just don’t freeze when it happens.
That’s the difference: recovery, not perfection.

Here’s what fluent speakers actually do:

✔ They keep talking — even if they correct themselves mid-sentence.
✔ They use filler phrases to buy time: “Let me think…” “What I mean is…”
✔ They laugh off mistakes and move on.
