Why Japanese People Keep Saying This While You Talk

In this video

1. 話してると、ずっと「うん、うん」って…聞いてる？ Hanashiteru to, zutto “un, un” tte… kiiteru? They keep going 'un, un' while you talk — are they even listening?
2. あれは「相槌」。ちゃんと聞いてるサインなんだ。 Are wa “aizuchi.” Chanto kiiteru sain nan da. That's 'aizuchi' — it's actually the 'I'm listening' signal.
3. あなたも「そうですか」って言ってみて。 Anata mo “sō desu ka” tte itte mite. Try it yourself — drop in a 'sō desu ka' (oh, I see).
4. 「へえ」「なるほど」もよく使うよ。 “Hee” “naruhodo” mo yoku tsukau yo. 'Hee' and 'naruhodo' (I see) work great too.
5. うなずきながら言うと、ぐっと自然！保存してね👇 Unazukinagara iu to, gutto shizen! Hozon shite ne. Say it while you nod and you'll sound way more natural. Save this 👇
