just words like "umm" and "like"... just curious what kind of things Chinese people use when they buy time when talking, and also if there are different ones for different situations

I noticed that in this lesson the dialogue uses 到 but the "Directions with a Map #1" uses 到了, are they interchangable?  Are the differences between the two lessons just the tense or something?

I wasn't sure where to ask this but is there a lesson on filler words?  It might seem like an odd question but it would help to sound more fluent.  If there isn't a lesson on them, do you guys have a lesson where filler words are used?

how do you answer yes to a 要 question?  Just reply with 要?  like:

你要这个吗?   or

你要去北京吗?

when using a time phrase with these patterns, I read that you can only use 就要...了, is that true?  like you should say 下周就要回国了 but you can't say 下周快要回国

这个是对的吗?---> 在新西兰,我们从十一月到二月暑假

also, when I'm on mid semester holidays, how do I just say "I'm on holiday"?  would it be 我在放假?
