Hello students welcome back to the English Danny Channel. I'm teacher John
and I'm here to help you become great at learning English today's lesson is going
to be about how to talk faster in English a lot of students really
struggle with speaking quickly in English and I'm speaking pretty
naturally right now so even if this could improve your listening skills as
well once you learn how exactly native speakers speak so quickly today we'll
discuss three things that will help you improve your speaking speed and you will
be able to talk faster the first thing that we're going to talk about today is
using contractions I know that this seems like a very simple hint or tip but
a lot of my students in particular know that they should contract the word or
shorten the word but they still say the two separate words so for example a lot
of my students will always say cannot instead of can't or did not instead of
did it and I know that it's very simple tip but if you can really practice on
memorizing all of the English trick contractions some of the longer ones
like haven't or mustn't or shouldn't wouldn't couldn't will really help you
save time when you are speaking rather than saying would not especially because
sometimes the pronunciation of would or could might be a little bit difficult
for you in your native language so for example just to show you how a sentence
can be shortened by the use of a few contractions I'm sorry but I cannot go
to school today because my mother would not drive me you can shorten this
sentence a little bit by saying I'm sorry but I can't go to school today
because my mother wouldn't drive me the difference between these two sentences
is subtle so it's a very small difference but if you can use
contractions more and more often your speaking will be faster because of it
the second hint or tip that we're going to talk about today is reducing verbs
there are actually many verbs that you can reduce in English and by reduce I
mean make smaller and faster but we're just going to talk about four verbs that
are very common and spoken English the first one is going to you can reduce it
to gonna want to which you can reduce to one other have got two can be reduced to
gutta and have two can be reduced to have two you can see that the ending
vowel in the word two has been reduced to an O sound which provides for a very
smooth and fast transition to the next word for example I'm going to go to
school today if we reduce the verb we would say I'm
gonna go to school today I think it's easy to hear the difference between I'm
going to go and I'm gonna go you can see that it's faster the third and
or tip that we're going to talk about today is reducing the word you there are
a lot of question words in English especially who what where when and why
but also would and could are also question words in English so if we take
a sentence for example like what are you doing and reduce what are you we can say
what you're doing this is very fast it's very smooth as well and this is the way
that native speakers talk to each other the word where can also have a the
subsequent where you reduced so where are you going can be reduced to where
you're going a third example is the word would if you asked would you please help
me can be reduced to would you please help me here are some more examples of
when the word you can be reduced with question words what do you or what did
you reduce to watch other how did you or how do you how a when do you when did
you when you don't you don't you let me let me I've got to I've gotta do you
