How will I ever be able to speak like that?"

Well, today I have some good news for you.

I'm going to share with you seven important tips that native speakers use when they speak

We're going to talk about reducing sounds, cutting off sounds, and connecting sounds.

Then, at the end of this lesson, I have a challenge sentence for you that I want you

to be able to say as fast as you possibly can.

So, let's get started with the first tip.

My first tip for speaking fast English is to use contractions.

If you'd like some tips about how to pronounce 81 contractions, I made a video about that

We'll talk about some more difficult tips later.

Do you see how we can speak quicker because we're cutting off all the sounds in the word

My second tip for speaking fast English is to reduce these four common verbs.

I'm gonna study English means I'm going to study English.

Or you might say, "I wanna study English."

Or maybe you will say, "I gotta study English."

I have got to study English becomes I gotta.

And then you might say, "I hafta study English."

My third tip for speaking fast English is to reduce the word you when you're asking

We're going to talk about three common question words.

And unfortunately, the word you reduces in a different way for each question.

So, listen carefully, and let's check it out.

How can we reduce the question, "What are you doing?"

We could reduce this to say, "Whatcha doin'?"

Actually, we've cut out completely the word are, and the word you just becomes cha.

You might notice, too, extra tip that the end of the word doing that G also gets cut

So, I end that word with an N. Whatcha doin'?

Do you notice the same thing happening here with that ing at the end?

It ends with an N. What is happening with the word you?

Where ya, we just changed it to ya, ya, not you, but Y-A.

What about if you wanted to ask a polite question?
