Does anyone have a list of 'fillers' in French? Salut, tout le monde! Would anyone have a list of, suggestions for, or a link to, a list of 'filler expressions' one could utilise in a French conversation? My teacher tells me I overuse the ones I have (eh bien, alors, je dois dire, etc.) and I have quite an important oral test coming up. Examples of what I mean: Let me see... I'd have to say that... Wait now... Well... I'd have to say that...

Bonsoir, voici quelques expressions que l'on peut placer dans une conversation (la traduction peut être inexacte mais je donnerai le sens global) : - D'ailleurs... (By the way... ) - J'aimerais ajouter que... (I would like to add that...) - Il faut garder à l'esprit que... (It needs to keep in mind that...) - Justement, ... (Precisely, ...) - A ce propos/A ce sujet, ... (About this, ...) - N'oublions pas que... (Don't forget that...) - Certes... mais... (It's true that... but... /Indeed... but...) - Tout à fait ! (That's it !) - Sans doute. (Certainly.) - Naturellement. (Naturally.) - Au-delà de ça, ... (Further more...) - Cela dit, ... (That said, ...) - En outre, ... (Moreover, in addition...) - D'une part, ... ; d'autre part, ... (In one hand, ... ; in the other hand, ...) - Je me dois de préciser que... (I have to precise that...) - Au premier abord, ... mais en creusant davantage, ... (At first, ... but digging farther) - Si je puis dire (début ou fin de phrase) (If I may say so) - Parallèlement, ... (In parallel...) - Ce nonobstant, ... /!\ registre très soutenu /!\ (Despite this...) - (Bien que...,) il ne faut pas perdre de vue que... ((Though...,) it must remind that/don't forget that...) - En somme, ... (Finally, in fact, in short) Si vous en voulez davantage vous pouvez me demander par messagerie !
