Let's dive in. Let's start with one of the most common tricks you'll hear in everyday English. Reduced forms. Native speakers often shorten words and phrases to sound more fluent and natural. For example, instead of saying I'm going to... they just say I'm gonna... Let's look at some more examples. Instead of I'm going to eat dinner you can say I'm gonna eat dinner or She's gonna call you later or We're gonna be late Guys, here is a practice line for you. Please read these two sentences. Okay, and it should sound like I'm gonna grab some coffee Wanna come? I'm gonna grab some coffee Wanna come? Nice, let's move on. Instead of saying want to you can reduce it to wanna Again, this happens only in spoken English, okay? So, some examples are I wanna watch a movie not I want to watch a movie I wanna I wanna watch a movie or Do you wanna go out? They wanna try something new Again, a practice line for you. I really wanna travel this summer See? Real practice! Let's move on. Instead of got to you can just say gotta For example I gotta finish this today See? So much faster and more natural than I've got to finish this today Okay, and a few more examples You gotta see this movie or We gotta leave now Let's practice with this sentence Can you read it out loud? I gotta go but I'll call you later I gotta go Okay, and the next one give me sounds like gimme Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight In casual speech, gimme is reduced to gimme like Gimme that pen, please or Gimme a second or even better gimme a sec or Can you gimme a ride? Another practice line for you Gimme a minute I'm almost ready Okay, and the last one here is let me It'll be like lemme lemme, lemme For example Instead of saying let me know you can just say lemme know or lemme check Okay guys, now read this sentence out loud Lemme know if you need help Great Great job Moving on And the second category is common short forms or blended phrases In fast casual English, native speakers often drop syllables or blend sounds to speak more quickly For example, instead of saying out off you can just say outta like I'm outta money or He ran out of time or Get outta here Another great example is kind of Instead of saying kind of you can say kinda like It's kinda cold today or I'm kinda tired That's kinda funny And another one here is lot off Instead it should be lotta like I got a lot of work to do or She has a lot of friends That's a lot of food Okay guys, let's practice Repeat after me I got a lot of things to do and I'm kinda stressed out Your turn Okay, another one You're out of your mind if you think you'll do that And She's kinda sweet but also kinda strange How did you do? Okay, moving on And the next trick or rule is tapping What does it mean? When a T or D sound occurs between two vowel sounds it is often turns into a sound that's similar to a fast D And this is called a flap And it's super common in American English Let's look at some examples Instead of better it should be better water bottle city little pretty party later daughter Okay, let's practice with this crazy sentence My daughter got a bottle of water in the city One more time My daughter got a bottle of water in the city Do I sound American? Okay, moving on to the next one The next trick is called elision And what does it mean? It means dropping a sound usually T or D to make speech smoother and faster And seriously guys native speakers do this all the time without even thinking about it especially in casual conversation Okay, for example next door becomes next door like he lives next door or that next door neighbor is so loud Come on to the next door shop Yep I know tricky And another example is most common It becomes most common like that's the most common mistake or it's one of the most common problems Most common answer is yes Did you get it? Another example is with this word So interview becomes interview like I had an interview yesterday or Did you watch your interview? The job interview went well And what about this one? This phrase best friend becomes best friend like she's my best friend or gonna hang out with my best friend My best friend always supports me And one more for you guys old man becomes old man like The old man sleep or That old man was funny Here are some more sentences for you to practice Repeat after me, okay? He lives next door to me or That's the most common one I have an interview tomorrow She's my best friend The old man told me a story Great Moving on to assimilation or blending sounds In spoken American English native speakers do not always pronounce full words They simplify sounds to speak faster and more naturally And here are the most common blends Instead of Did you? You can say Did you? Like instead of saying Did you hear the news? You can say Did you hear the news? or Did you go to the party last night? Did you see what happened? Another great example is Could you? becomes Could you? like Could you help me for a sec? Could you pass the salt? or Could you tell me the time? Would you? becomes Would you? Would you like some coffee? Would you mind closing the door? Would you do it if I ask nicely? Don't you? becomes Don't you? like Don't you know? or Don't you wanna go? Don't you think it's late? Got you? becomes Got you? like Instead of I got you covered You can say I got you covered or Got you? I knew it Okay, a few more examples for you to practice What do you? becomes What do you? like What do you think of this idea? instead of What do you think of this idea? or What do you wanna do tonight? What do you wanna? and Do you? becomes Do you? So instead of saying Do you want to come with us? You can just say Do you wanna come with us? or Do you like it? Let's practice with these sentences Let's read them out loud, okay guys? And the first one What are you doing this weekend? Did you enjoy the concert last night? Hey, got you covered for tomorrow Moving on to the next one It's about dropping the subject Again, in everyday spoken English native speakers often drop the subject like I, you, it and so on Especially when the meaning is obvious from the context Like instead of Are you coming? You can just say Coming or Coming to the meeting? Coming with us? Coming later? I have seen it becomes Seen it Just seen it already or Seen that movie? So good Another one is It could've been worse It's a very common one Could've been worse like Could've been worse, honestly or Couldn't been worse, but we made it through Could've been worse, at least nobody got hurt Did you hear that? or Do you hear that? Instead you can say Hear that? Like Hear that noise? One more example is I don't know You can just say Don't know like Don't know what to say or Don't know the answer Don't know why he did that Okay, here's another portion of sentences for you to practice Let's read them out loud Coming to the party or what? Seen it twice Seen it twice Could've been worse, right? Don't know how to fix it Hear that? Sounds weird Great Now let's cover the using of contractions in everyday spoken English Let's take a look at some super common ones For example, instead of saying you can just use I'm like like instead of saying I'm going to the store you can just say I'm going to the store not I am I'm or I'm feeling great today He is becomes His He's always on time or He's going to the party tonight They are They're They're gonna be late Oh yeah, not going to Gonna Gonna be late We already learned that or They're coming over tomorrow Instead of She would have you can say She'd have For example, instead of saying She would have called you if she had known Oh my goodness She'd have called you if she'd known or She'd have helped you if she could Again with would They would have They'd have like They'd have been here by now not They would have been here by now or another example is They'd have done it if they'd had the chance I will becomes I'll like I'll do it later or I'll be there in 10 minutes Okay, and the last one and we're wrapping this one up You are becomes You're like You're gonna love this movie See? You are going to love this movie and You're gonna love this movie Sounds so natural and fast You're the best Okay, and here are some sentences for you to practice Let's read them out loud I'll see you later He's not going to join us You're going to enjoy the concert tonight or You're gonna enjoy the concert tonight They're planning a trip next month She'd have liked that idea Okay, and here is the last trick It is called intrusion We're adding sounds Okay, and what does it mean? In spoken English, sometimes extra sounds are added between words to make them flow more smoothly And this is called intrusion Like Do it becomes Do it Just do it instead of Just do it or Can you do it for me? instead of Can you do it for me? Go on instead of Go on Here are some more examples Go on ahead or Go on, tell me more Go on Tell me more All right, guys Now that we've nailed some of the most common tricks native speakers use every day Let's take a step further In the next part, I've got some super practical tips to help you not just understand English but actually sound natural and confident when you speak it These are things that go beyond grammar and vocabulary They're all about real-world speaking habits Ready?
