    To appear like a native English speaker, one should sprinkle conversations with words like "anyway", "so anyway", and "by the way" when transitioning between topics or filling conversation. Instead of saying "no", alternatives like "nope", "no way", and "no way José" can be used. To show interest, say "wow", "really?!", or "I can't believe it!". To express annoyance, phrases such as "oh no!", "oh, brother!", and "for Pete's sake" work well.
