I usually wondered why they reduced "did" when I watched American movies. This video is the answer to my question. You are the best teacher ever. Your explanation made it easy to understand. Thank you!

[@rachelsenglish]

My pleasure Trang!

[@hyacinth2335]

This is so true. I hear it on TV all the time but I just got it now. Thanks Rachel.

[@louiepholet3968]

I'm addicted to your tutorial series, i just can't get enough. My accent is mediocre but with these videos, i'm getting there.

[@rachelsenglish]

Awesome! Thanks for watching Louie!

[@AnnaVends]

I ador your videos with transcriptions Thank you💙💛❤❤❤

[@StuartSimon]

Rachel: The symbol for the alveolar flap is ɾ. It is always voiced in American English. The reason an r-like symbol is used is that it is the same sound as that which is indicated by a single “r” in Latin-scripted languages where it is a phoneme: in Spanish, Italian, and some varieties of Portuguese, for example.

[@youby88]

My english is head and shoulders above than it was before I discovered your channel. I have learned a lot about American accent wich makes a bit easy for me to understand native speakers. Thank you so much to help us out

[@rachelsenglish]

You're very much welcome! :)

[@daniAd-qm9xy]

Thanks so much Rachel for this excellent class! It's always difficult for a Spanish ear try to understand these kinds of reductions of spoken English. Love your videos so much! Greetings from Aregentina!

[@rachelsenglish]

Hello there and thanks for your support @daniAd-qm9xy!

Can't thank you enough for this awesome video! I remember reducing the "what did you" combination in that video you made with Tom. It was lovely to hear you saying "Tom, what did you do today?", flapping the T in today and reducing the WDY combination. Then I realized how people would say "what did you say?", for example. But it was fantastic to a video on that. Good job, Rachel! These videos help us all to not only sound better in English, but to understand native speakers. Wish there were a channel like that for French. As my friend's friend said once, "English should not be taken for granted". The more I think I know about AmE, the more I find out interesting things such as reductions and ways to smooth out my speech. Such a lesson of humbleness as well.

[@rachelsenglish]

[@no1hy96]

Hi Rachel, I've followed your English videos for over 3 years now. Yours are so great and helpful, thank you so much for these. Still, I'm struggling with a lot of words which have "r" and "l" at the same time, such as: parrellel... (I suddenly forgot all of them) :D Anyway, hope you can make a video about this soon in the future. Have a nice day

Ohh I am a die hard fan of your reduction lessons,they are soo amazingly useful.Thanks!Do you have any lessons on speaking?I would love that

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! Maybe this video might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp2UpniAq7yAgc0

[@raminmousivand4257]

Hi Rachel, Thanks for this amazing video! 🙏🙏🙏 I had a question about past perfect, Does it go through the same reduction? What had had he done? -> Whadee done What had I done? -> Whadai done? What had she done? -> Whad she done? Can you please think of any more reduction videos for this playlist? Sometimes it's really painful to understand native speakers, and your videos does help a lot!

[@rachelsenglish]

For these, I would add an extra syllable (schwa+D) to represent the extra "had". For example, "What had she done?" would become "Whadud she done?" More on dropping H in reductions like HAS and HAD here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKaxgKaIi72DnNksi=XaImLU4Wbmx77Rts

Hi Rachel. I really miss these videos you used to do. I hope you can start doing more videos like this one on reduction of auxiliary verbs such as am, is, are, was, were, do, does, did, have, has, had, will, won't, would, wouldn't, could, couldn't, should, and shouldn't in combination with nouns, pronouns and question words.

This made me a little confused about the difference between "what did" and "what do" so I'd like you to please make a video on that too.. Thanks a lot, Miss Rachel!

[@kara__kats4865]

Anas Abdulwahhab You should not reduce "what do". You should reduce "what did". The reason is that "did" has a "d" sound at the end, but "do" does not.

[@abdelrahmanjamal2939]

Hello , Rachel . I wanna thank u from my bottom of my heart for ur effort , and I wanna ask what is the difference between What did and What do when they are reduced , do they have the same sound ?

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! There is a slight difference in the final sound. Because 'did' ends with a D - you will hear that D either as a True D or an Unreleased D - you can learn the difference here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5erf5V5qd1nmac The 'do' will end with a schwa sound - that is how you can tell the difference (though it is subtle)!
