Thank you for joining me for my live lesson today.

Present continuous

If you're watching live, welcome, say hello.

And if you're watching in the future, on repeat, you can also say hello.

And you can join in with today's lesson and all of our tasks.

Our topic today is understanding native speakers when they talk quickly.

I know this is quite a tricky subject, so we'll look at lots of hints and tips and you'll have lots of practice.

But say hi and answer this question for why is fast speech so difficult?

I'll still come, come back and check your messages and your answers to this question.

Let's see, we've got a couple of answers coming in.

Nobody answering the question just yet, but lots of people.

Ah, so one answer we have here because of Linkin speech.

That's one of the many ideas we will look at today.

First of all, I'm going to play in this lesson.

You will hear lots of examples of native speakers talking.

So first of all, I'm going to play a tiny sentence.

Can you write in the comments what you hid there?

Hi in Colombia, hi in Mexico, Hi in Qatar.

Lots of you are writing as you hear it, but here we go.

Now, what happens to those two words in green?

Can you tell me what happens to those two words?

Some people are saying it's hard for the brain.

Some people are saying it's unstressed, etc.

So both of those two words are pronounced the same.
