This lesson really helps me alot in speaking and reading. It is really awkward to read each word fully in an English sentence unless they are reduced. Thank you Vanessa!
I am in love with the smile of this teacher! She is really great at teaching which made me enjoy the lesson. Thump up!!!!
Thank you so much Vanessa, I love the way you're teaching and the positive energies you use. Thanks a lot and lots of loves from Iran.
Mam I am extremely happy to have a teacher like you😊😊😊😊 You're a great teacher!!!!
When I speak english, I tend to be clear. I like to pronounce every single word well. I hafta to change that, especially because all native speakers tend to speak quickly and they use reductions all the time. Thanks for your tips, Vanessa.

Haven't you watched Rachel's English yet? We'll, then you should.
Hi Vanessa, this lesson for me is simply amazing. I've been learning English for 3 years starting as beginner, now I'm at intermediate level, I'd like to push up my level and this is the kind of information useful to me, because as I started to listen to more advanced conversations, I found troubles in reductions. I believe this video gonna be a routine for many days: super useful! Warm regards from Italy :)
One of the reductions that went new for me was the word "didn't" and "our" thank u so much!!
Such extraordinary teacher!! I waste years trying to learn with another ones. Vanessa has no comparison.She is the best of all!
Hi Vanessa, thank you for your wonderfull lessons. Your reduction symbols were very helpful to understand how they actually sound. your/yer (Simple as that?), our/r( I doubted at first, but it sure sounds that way!) , his/is (Wow, it's a be-verb!), that/thet (I've never thought of [thet] !), to/t (There's not even a syllable here!), going to/unna ( Yes, I hear "I'm unna" in dramas all the time! How could I not notice?) especially helped me get the 'feeling' of it. The hardest one is your/yer. I can pronounce it alright, but when I come across in sentences, I have a sort of a mental block to pronounce 'yer' for 'your' probably because I think of the meaning instead of the sound. I guess it's going to take some time, but I try. Well, thanks a lot!
That "uh uh uh" is a big step forward on my English journey 😂
Hi Vanessa! I have to leave a big "Thank you !!" for the videos you put on youtube. I learned a lot from you, especially this video. I am expecting more videos about reduction. I appreciate your great work!
I love this reduction lesson! I am gonna use them to practice.Obrigado Vanessa for another great lesson!

Wow amazing breaking down for reductions levels even in a single reduction is love more of sentence reductions👍
Awww Vanessa you’re so funny and cute love your videos.
Vanessa can you make a video about the most difficult word to pronounce like "important"? This word is almost impossible to pronounce. Do it please!!
These lessons are especially useful for my pronunciation, thank you very much.
Thank you .Your lesson is knowledge able & cheerful.
Hi Vanessa, the reduction I've never heard before was "uh uh uh" for "I don't know". The most hard to pronounce fluently for me are: "her" and "our", especially when they're followed by a vowel sound such as "our own"
@angeldude101
Жыл бұрын
A fun quirk with "uh uh uh" is that it's effectively _tonal,_ as in it needs the low-high-low melody in order to actually mean "I don't know."
I loved this video and it reminded me something. You guys who wanna check out more examples about pronunciation should check out the website Youglish, you look the word you're not sure about how it's pronounced and you'll be able to check out plenty if examples, not only that but you can also check out words pronounced in American, British and Australian English. You should definitely check it out, it's one of the best English websites hands down.

Thanks Vanessa for this great lesson. As ESL student, all we learn from textbooks are not quite applicable to daily life in the native speaking country. For example, I moved to US for studying, however I am struggling a lot when I go to supermarket and talk with natives. This lesson taught me many important things.

You are an amazing teacher!Thanks a bunch for your efforts👏👏👏
Wow! you Are a fabulous teacher! Thank you
The first time I have consciously learnt these. You're really amazing.
This lesson was extremely helpful, engaging and beautiful just like any other Vanessa's English lesson. She's so kind, patient and friendly while explaining different things in a very detailed, understandable way. Knowing super common English reductions is truly important for having a better understanding of the spoken language in daily life, I know it is difficult to grasp at first glance but with a lot of regular practice it will become easier than we usually expect over time. I'm nearly the advanced level of English and my language ability is still increasing. Thank you so much as always for your wonderful English lessons Vanessa, I love you as well as them ❤😊. I also love the enchanting English-speaking world.
I say this lady is the best english demonstrator among all others. no one can compete.
Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you for your wonderful lesson👍, really you are amazing ❤️. I've learned today that our become r for speaking fast.
