Contractions in English - How to Sound More Natural and effortless
Download the English contractions practice sheet and the audio: bit.ly/3GG9fxP
Contractions are words and phrases that are shortened by dropping sounds (in writing and in speaking). Contractions are all the you'd, she'll, we’re, isn't etc.
These contractions allow us to signal our listeners what is more important and what is less, and that makes our communication in English clearer.
For non-native speakers, these contractions might be a bit confusing.
Have you ever thought to yourself, "these short words are not clear enough when they come out of MY mouth"? Do you find yourself separating them because of that? Many learners of English as a second language feel like that but actually, the truth is you can use these contractions, and sound clearer! In this video, I’ll tell you how to use contractions in speaking and how to pronounce the most common contractions in English.

Hi Hadar this video was great I took many doubts that I had Thanks a lot and have a great Thursday my beautiful teacher 😉🇧🇷
Super lesson. I learnt a lot. Please teach us more. Thanking you meanwhile.
Every video of you I learn new words,verbs. Today's verb is "reduce." I've been always curious about how to say them correctly. That's why I always choosed longer way which is I would do it, she is happy not I'd do it, she's happy when I was speaking. Now you answered a question in my mind.
Was/Were are the trickest ones for me. Thanks Hadar, once more! Xx ♡
Great job 👍

A distinction should be made between formal and informal contractions. For example. " Do you not" can be contracted formally to "Don't you". But in common speech you are most likely to hear "Doncha". This is what you want to say if you really want to sound native! But you would never write "Doncha" unless you were quoting speech. It's really not an actual word.
Thanx Hadar you're awesome 👍
Brilliant video and it helped me a lot.
