Hesitation noises
Hesitation noises, or vocal pauses, are the "uh" and "um" of a language, filler sounds we produce when we pause to think while speaking. Using the correct hesitation noises can make the difference between natural sounding Japanese, and awkward foreign sounding speech.

They are:
 * あのう - Usually when you are about to say something.
 * ええと - When you are just thinking.
 * まぁ　 - "Well..." used for considering, reconsidering, etc...
 * さぁ　 - Another thinking sound) Used for when you're not sure of the information.
 * 何だっけ (なんだっけ) - "What's it called..." used when trying to remember something specific.
 * そうですね - Acknowledges what was previously said. More of a staller than a hesitation noise.  Somewhat more formal. Also used to show you care what the speaker is saying.
