Learn How to Use Contractions to Sound Like a Native English Speaker

In this English lesson I'll help you learn 8 of the most common English contractions to help you sound like a native English speaker. When we speak English we tend to use a lot of contractions. We take words like, "do", and "not", and we combine them to make, "don't".
In this English lesson I'll help you learn 8 different contractions and I'll help you learn how to pronounce them properly, and I'll give you example sentences for each one.
I hope you learn a lot of English in this lesson! Thanks for watching!
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

    Contractions sentence is hard to hearing when native speaker says to me speedly. Especially, it's hard to divide between won't and want. Anyway, thanks today's lesson. Take care Bob^^. From Hoon Korean.

    Bob ,I subscribed you for a period of time. thanks for teaching us lots of English expressions.I appreciate it. And I enjoy the way you teach vocabulary that linking the new words stright to the real thing.It is raising my English brain, instead of translating all the time. Apparently, as a professional teacher, you know what is the best,efficient method to learn. I really want to be fluent in spoken English. Recently, I found another youtuber called Rachel's English, you should have know her.She made a series of videos-"learn english with movies".In that videos, she put a short movie or small dialog scene, and analyse how to speak like it sentence by sentence. Could you also make some videos like that if possible? 'cause I like you ancent and voice badly.
