You want to understand your favourite TV shows in English, but it's hard when you hear things like, I couldn't have tried harder. I'd have won if I hadn't fallen. When what you learned at school was, I could not have tried harder. I would have won if I had not fallen. So today you're going to learn how to speak quickly, and we're going to look at 21 of these contractions that will help you speak more naturally and understand fast-speaking native speakers more easily. Are you ready?
A good example of this is when we say, isn't it? Quickly. And it sounds more like this. Innit. Isn't it? Becomes innit. We don't even really pronounce the T at the end because in British English we have something called a glottal stop, which is the stop sound you make when you go... Now, the phonetic symbol for this is like that /ʔ/, like a question mark without the dot.
And if you're not familiar with phonetics, what have you been doing your whole life? Seriously. Learn them now because it really, really makes English pronunciation so much easier. And you know what? Learning phonetics helped me so much that I've made just a very quick PDF for you so you can see all the phonetic symbols in English, see which sounds they represent, some common words that use each of those sounds. So you can get that by clicking the link in the description and that's really going to help you with vocabulary lessons, with grammar lessons and pronunciation lessons like this.
Okay, let's make this fun. I'm going to say the contraction in English, and you have to guess what the contraction is. Now a reminder that all these are informal contractions that you'll only hear in informal, spoken English. Number one, /dɪnɪʔ/ /dɪnɪʔ/ /dɪnɪʔ/ rain yesterday? /dɪnɪʔ/ rain yesterday? Okay, didn't it? With the glottal stop at the end is the contraction of didn't it when we're speaking quickly and natural conversation. It got really cold last night, didn't it? Didn't it seem like the presentation went really well?
Okay, here's another one. /dʊnɪʔ/, /dʊnɪʔ/. Look at that cake /dʊnɪʔ/ look delicious. /dʊnɪʔ/ is the contraction of doesn't it? It looks quite cloudy outside, doesn't it? Doesn't it makes you wonder what's going on up there? So as you can see from these examples, the contractions we're using are quite flexible. We can use them as question tags at the end of a statement, or they can come at the beginning of a sentence.
Okay, let's try another. /dɪntiː/ /dɪntiː/. /dɪntiː/ do well in the final exam? Okay, /dɪntiː/ is the contraction of didn't he. He got the highest score, didn't he? Didn't he impress everyone with his performance. Didn't he. Are you seeing a pattern yet? Notice that in didn't he, we do pronounce the t. That's why you see the t in the phonetic script. Didn't he? You could also say didn't he? If you want with another glottal stop there.

It's very useful to know/understand all those contractions.Thank you for that.... Personally I'm aiming for a clear RP pronunciation although I don't mind some regional nuances.

No problem!

[@user-kh1gw7vz5m]

Would you mind if I inform you about a matter? I have a basic understanding of both the English language and grammar. However, I face a significant challenge in understanding English when listening to another person. My listening skills are not strong, and I believe I lack wisdom in English pronunciation. Now, I am determined to improve. Please help me overcome this issue. Lastly, I kindly request you to create a video covering English pronunciation for each letter, the rise and fall of intonation, and tips to enhance listening skills. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you Teacher❤ Sure thing, formal and informal English are two completely different languages. P.S. I know Americans also have got glottal stop but just quite possible in other positions

[@erickaquinones4114]

Excellent video, thanks teacher

[@sebastienlopezmassoni8107]

Thanks Greg. I think that a pass a special training to undertstand Peaky blinders😅

[@ymgch16]

Miraculously, I've only succeeded in a small number of cases. And it turns out that they tend to appear when they include "does" or "not." Are the subtitles used in TV street interviews and talk shows written in the official spelling? Thank you!

[@mabycastro3484]

Hi Greg. I cant get phonetics pdf.

[@torcuatosalsipuedes5961]

GREAT!!!

[@costachedominte]

👍

[@hughscann]

Ah. I would have to disagree and suggest that your "innit" is an almost dialectic form peculiar to distinct regions of the UK. I can confidently say I don't know any Americans, Australians, or New Zealanders who speak English that way. In fact, I would suggest that "izn'it" is the more common of the two.

[@andreaboraschi7872]

Some of those innits have developed throughout India and its sorroundings

[@andreismirnov9993]

Is it cockney accent?

[@kahinaabbas9792]

It's hard 😢

[@TuhinKhan1998]

Most people said that British English is harder than American English but my brain can catch British than American

[@danielgonzalezd.4343]

😮 I am shocked by these constructions. Although I understand it's the way fast English is spoken, I wish for the sake of the language people would try to speak more nicely abd proper rather than "street English " which sounds quite low class. It is 😔 sad to see that happening to English language. Yet this is my humble opinion. 😢

[@reemahmed3819]

sometimes I fill taking this way(contractions) really damage the English language

[@soledadearcoverde3223]

So, we take years to learn English and did nothing because they speak a totally different language?

[@cavesalamander6308]

One of the most depressing lessons. Why do the English hate their own language so much that they don't want to speak normally?..

[@faizulla5838]

Сперва надо Английский поднять до уровня С1-С2 .... а только потом, заниматься фигней....

[@kathleendavenport9086]

Are you actually kidding me?! Not sure why this chap believes he is giving any person trying to learn English, good advice! His 'contractions' are not valid and as an English person, people just don't speak like this; yes there are contractions but 'innit' ? really? maybe from the Brixton hood? the contraction here is : isn't NOT innit and on it goes... take his advice and teaching with a pinch of salt ; the majority of English speakers do not ( or don't ) say or speak like he does....

[@willalves21]

I am happy that's not the normative grammar. People trying to "assassinate" the language. Awkward.
