The Secret to Understand Fast-Talking Native English Speakers

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Don't forget to download the free PDF worksheet I made you 👉 www.mmmenglish.com/englishreductions/ It will help you to study, help you study and practise these common reductions!! Can you think of any other reductions that you often hear in movies or TV shows?

[@DaveSmith90559]

Thanks Emma for free PDF worksheet which is extremely useful for everyone, I'm absolutely convinced! There's no need to write down the whole lesson spending much time that I used to do it in order not to forget what I learnt, it's a really brilliant idea! And as to your question in the end, I wanna share something else with you. I hear frequently enough such as popular reductions as: (Emma, you know I love them all and try to use them in all the relevant situations) Here these are: (these can be used either in written or in spoken English) "hafta" is "have to" "hasta" is "has to" (He has to do it...) "outta" is "out of" "oughta" is "ought to" "wansta" is "he/she wants to..." "wassup" is "what's up?" "whatser" is "what's her?.." "whatsis" is "what's his?.." "musta" is "must have" "gotta" is "got to" or "have got to" "loadsa" is "loads of" "kindsa" is "kind of" "lotsa" is "lots of" "lotta" is "lot of" "sorta" is "sort of" "typa" is "type of" "frunna" is "be front of" "betcha" is "bet you" "dontcha" is "don't you" "getcha" is "get you" "gotcha" is "got you" "seeya" is "see you" The rest of my list isn't used in written English but only in spoken one, be careful! "how'dya" is "how do you?" "how'dja" is "how did you?" "how'dya" is "how would you?" "dja" is "did you..." "whataya" is "what are you?" "whadaya" is "what do you?" "wantcha" is "want you..." "what'dja" is "what did/do you?" "when'dja" is "when did/do you?" "where'dya" is "where did/do you?" "who'dya" is "who did/do you?" "why'dya" is "why did/do you?" "wouldya" is "would you..." My support 'n' appreciation to you, darling! Thanks for your work!

I think that tag questions like "isn't it?" are often pronounced with reduction.

Well hey there Emma, my lovely English mentor! OMG,.. this is a new hair style looks so unusually but it fits you a lot! As always, I enjoy watching your lessons, they're always riveting and captivating, you do know it! Despite I've been here with for over five years, I still love listening to you, you're like a my family's part already, it's not exaggerating at all! And surely, I'll go on watching your useful videos even further! I remember I couldn't perceive your fast speech without subtitles and now, several years later I'm not turning them on for the most part! And it's your great merit completely! Highly grateful to you, Emma and of course, I'll see you soon for another great video!

Emma, you're the best English teacher in KZbin. Your Grammar explanations are so clear and helpful. A few days ago somebody said, in a FB site for teachers, that a video which lasts more than 15 minutes isn't appropriate to include in your class, but you always tear down this "theory" and I really enjoy your expositions and I'll keep up on displaying them in my classes either virtual or real.

[@toniarnold341]

Thank you, Emma, this video is impressive. It shows how many reductions native English speakers use in spoken English and helps me understand them better. I can tell you that the Swiss-German dialects also sound very different from written German. When we talk to strangers, we do our best to speak written German so they can understand us

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

It’s so interesting that one language can sound so very different!

[@hellomello258]

I've been looking for videos as part of a teaching class in my linguistics degree. I love this video! Searching for videos like this can be difficult. Some "understanding speakers" videos don't talk about pronunciation like this. And pronunciation searches usually give results about how to improve your accent in English, not understanding others. The IPA is invaluable for those who know it. The slow repetition is a must. And the in context uses are excellent instead of presenting them only in isolation. An interesting experience for me is this. I always have captions on because I'm hard of hearing. While watching this video, as soon as you pronounced it in context and the captions showing the full version, my brain "heard" each word or the contracted version. For /ʃʊdə/ I'd hear "shoudda" but for "I shoudda done it" I'd automatically hear "I should've done it" even without a /v/ sound (and even though "done it" was likely "dunɪ/ instead of two words).

[@alessandrobartoletti]

One of the reasons why it's hard to learn english is that when you learn how to pronounce "to read" you might think you know how to pronounce ready as well but, unfortunately , it's not true! For italian native speakers it's even worse as in our language the correspondence between phonemes and graphemes is very strict. Thanks to you I realize what the other big problem is. Sometimes watching an english movie I think my understanding is zero. I'm "gonna" practice, thank you so much !

[@Radha_Rani8890]

Heyy! Emma I have a question. I just wanna know that is American and Canadian accent are similar in pronounciation? Because I can't find any differences between them. I watched so many KZbinrs from Canada and America but I was a bit struggling to find any difference.

[@RealTrader93]

I'm living in Canada and I do have some Americans and Canadians friends and they sound different to me. It also depends on where in Canada and where in America the people are from.

[@Radha_Rani8890]

@@RealTrader93 you may be correct bro!! But every person has it's own experience☺

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

There are lots of similarities, but also some distinct differences.... (And Pablo's right, there is not one Canadian accent of one American accent) To me, it's most noticeable in the pronunciation of the "ow" diphthong in words like OUT, ABOUT

[@lowellcunningham3332]

@@mmmEnglish_Emma You're right that the diphthong is the most obvious difference in US and Canadian English. In the US we pronounce it "ow" (a-bout) and Canadians tend to pronounce is as "oo" (a-boot.) Also -- though this is a bit of a cliche -- Canadians frequently end a sentence with "eh?" Similar to the way many in the US say "y'know?"
