41 SUPER-DUPER Words for FLUENT English Conversation (Reduplication)

Here we have 41 REDUPLICATIVE WORDS which are useful phrases that you can use in everyday conversation to increase your fluency. Native English speakers use reduplication a lot and if you want to reach an advanced level you should start using them too.
Reduplicative words sound funny, they add a touch of playfullness to the language so do use them.

    I came to the conclusion that when you're becoming more advanced in learning a language it's far better to be taught by native speaker rather than by the teacher from your native country. There were many grammar aspects that I was unable to comprehend even though I was taught by good english teachers in Poland. When I began to watch LetThemTalkTV videos I understood them within minutes.

    I have to admit I'm a little leery of a teacher who introduces his lesson with the immortal words, "Okey dokey everybody!" But things got better! There's nothing namby pamby about this presentation ... anyone who can come up with 41 redupicative words is a super genius! In Australia we also say "namby pamby" to mean something done in an ineffectual or weak way and "willy nilly" which means wildly, randomly... similar to your higgledy piggedy.

    Reduplications are great. However, there's a problem we English students have to work on. We can't use these words willy-nilly. Willy-nilly here is an adverb. Arty-farty is an adjective, hush hush is used as a verb in the imperative as well as an adjective, knick-knacks as a plural noun and riff-raff as a singular noun. So we have to be all ears. Thank you for the great lesson, Gideon.
