My Concern
Since I made friends who speak English, Ive had a concern. It's how to reply on chatting.
For example, if my friend says, "I went to Tokyo and bought lots of things!" I always just say "That's cool!!!" One more example, if my friend says, "I met a famous comedian!" and i always say, "wow reallyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
"cool!" "awesome" "Really" "Wow" "OMG" "Great"
Those words are very useful to reply. But when i use those words to reply, I feel bad. I feel I cannot reply well. I wanna say more words, but i can't! I can say some if it's in Japanese, but i don't know why , when i speak in English, i cant do it. so sometimes, i use consonants and vowels continuously, like "wooooooooooow" and "reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", to show my reaction well. but i still feel bad. It is like a robot. I am a robot.
If you have any ideas or tell me good response words, I am very glad to know that. And hope someone correct my english! Thanks!

If you are really interested in what the other person is saying, then ask them more about the topic. So for example if someone said "I went to tokyo to buy a lot of things" you can reply with something like "oh really? What did you buy?" Or if they said "I met a famous comedian" then ask them who the comedian was. If you know who the comedian is then tell them what you like/don't like about them.
So to sum it up, rather than replying with statements, I think if you are really interested, then just reply with a question. Also add any emojis to
