RonnieTEST YOURSELF! Practice Listening to Reduced English Speech
“Why can’t I understand local English speakers?” One reason could be that English speakers often reduce their pronunciation in conversation. This means they do not pronounce words how they are supposed to be pronounced. In this listening and speaking lesson, you will learn to understand (and use!) ten of the most commonly reduced words in English conversation. These include:him, his, he, her, them, your, our, and, to, and or. At the end of the lesson, I invite you to test your listening and write what I say in the comments. Can you understand 100% of what I say? Listen and tell me!
