In this episode of 5-Minute English Talk, Bruce and Stacy explore one of the simplest but most powerful tools in English speaking — pausing.

Learn why native speakers pause so often, how small pauses make you sound more confident, and how phrases like “Let me think…”, “Hmm…”, and “Well…” can make your English feel calm and natural.

You’ll hear real examples, repeat-after-me practice, and a quick speaking challenge to help you slow down, breathe, and speak with clarity — not speed.

Small pause. Big difference.
And don’t forget, new episodes come out every Monday!
