I am currently learning mandarin and my wife is chinese. This word, Na Ge (sometimes pronounced Ney Guh), can be said in rapid succession with little to no pauses between syllables, like an english speaker saying "um-um-um-um" or "yeah-yeah-yeah". Difficult to find a spoken version of this online, but please have a listen to this song [0] timestamped to the appropriate point.

A course on business communication in a segment apparently about "filler words" seems completely appropriate.

What concerns can these students have beyond "I am unable to handle foreign languages spoken in my presence"? These people better not visit a macdonalds in china because all the children around them will be shouting na ge whilst pointing at the menus.
