Tlkn to English people

Everytime I can't find words I clap, is tht normal

LydsRose9

Yep I believe this is very ‘normal’!

I’m a linguistics student and have learnt that this is something called a filler. It’s something we do or a noise we make whilst trying to find a word - a bit like saying ‘um’! It gives our brain a distraction whilst we’re thinking.

I hope this helps!!😁

@JJLemon18 in Krakow it has a cellar with different pinball machines and retro arcade. U can play all day for 10 pounds.
It's called 'pinball museum'

@ellie2000 that sounds awesome!! Though I'm in Wrocław so its a bit far unfortunately. But thank you, I'll remember this if I ever visit Krakow (which I probably will one day). I assume you've been to Krakow then, how was it?

Completely agreed. I visited a concentration camp in Germany several years ago, hearing the stories while you're there makes a very strong impression. I looked into the conflict quite a bit afterwards, and learning about the war and ideology was an experience in itself
