hi I'm junior kioto I'd like to request a video on the word "to" I already know it's pronounced like too, tuh and duh in American English... the thing is sometimes I hear native speakers pronouncing "to" like "uh" when it comes after the m and n sounds... for example: "I'm gonna tell you when to hold it". I hear " Imuna tell yuh whenuh hold it " .. Am I right? Does that happen? Can "When to" be reduced to "whenuh" thanks

@@kioto_oliver You're right about that. I'm gonna does sound like I'muna. We use a lot of reductions in spoken English. For instance, if I say : I'm gonna go there tomorrow, it sounds like: I'muna go there damorrow. Usually when a t comes between an "n" and a vowel sound it is not pronounced. So internet is pronounced "internet" or twenty sounds like twenty and many others.

Wes, I really like your video, and appreciate that your lesson is clear, concise, and easy to follow. However, while the pronunciations you covered are common in the USA, or UK, how English is spoken in both countries varies, because there are many different dialects spoken throughout and in different parts of each country. In addition, dialects of English also very because of economic class, racial, ethnic, immigration patterns, and/or generational differences. For example, in the USA, the twang sound used in parts of the northern planes states, comes from the high degree of settlement of immigrant from the Nordic countries of Europe (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland). Thus, the twang is derived from the languages of these countries.

I am from the south. We just talk. I never thought of it as another language.
