【A question for native English speakers from a Japanese English learner】

I say too much "you know", "like", "kind of" or whatever too often when I'm in daily conversations... but is it kinda a little rude, or kinda disgusting, or kinda annoying?? ..coz because as you know I'm not a native English speaker...

 

Same with ummm ahhhh - it interferes with what you are saying and what the listener hears - better to have silent pauses; they are all noise words in your speech; you can speak brokenly, it is better

Agree with Molly, it's not rude. However in the UK, some people use, "you know" and, "like" with every sentence and some comedians made some jokes about this. I think it's ok to use these, but having a variety of ways of saying something is also good. よろしくお願いします。

No, it's not considered rude but it is informal.
