Reductions in English: Understanding a fast-talking American

Hi everyone 👋🏼,
In today’s lesson I cover “reductions”, phrases that are commonly shortened to sound like one word in English. It is hard to avoid hearing reductions in everyday conversation and it is good to become familiar with the most common. In this video I cover examples of reductions such as “I’m gonna”, “I wanna”, & “howyadoin”. I hope that this video helps! Please subscribe if you enjoyed this video and want to see others. Suggestions for future videos are always welcome. Thank you for watching!

    Your explanation about English reductions is so good, clearly and engaging. Many people in the US tend to speak so quickly and that's pretty normal but the main problem begins with having conversations with native English speakers for the first time. Many natives would have a hard time when speaking with non-native speakers because as a foreigner, I would never understand the strange way how most of them talk in informal situations. I could grasp what you were saying perfectly well after learning English for almost six years. Spoken English is actually very fast but I can understand many Americans, Canadians and Brits in formal settings and we should remember that English is a highly idiomatic language. Thanks a lot after all, that was very kind of you.

    I personally try to be as articulate as possible in professional settings or when I am meeting someone for the first time. I would say for a potential employer you should definitely try to speak as clearly as possible. Thank you for watching the video!!
