you must be wondering what is the
difference between a fluent english
speaker and the english you speak
you use almost the same vocabulary you
follow the same dictionary what is that
one thing that differentiates a fluent
english speaker from an average english
one
if you notice a fluent english speaker
they make use of a lot of contractions
formal contractions and the informal
contractions formal contractions such as
he's she's you're there
they teach you all these contractions in
school you have studied them in school
but what they don't teach you in school
are informal contractions and that
sometimes makes understanding native
english speakers a little difficult so
in this lesson today i'm going to help
you understand some informal
contractions used by native english
speakers you'll find these contractions
in english movies you'll never find
these contractions in any english
textbooks because apparently they are
informal because these contractions are
always used in spoken english you do not
use them in indecent english
these contractions make your spoken
english sound natural and

hi guys my name is
i welcome you with a very big heart to
let's talk in this video we will look at
some very interesting words that we can
use to sound fluent if you are new to
the channel and you find my videos
useful subscribe to the channel and
click the bell icon so that you don't
miss any notifications for any new
lessons that i upload let's get started
the first one we have in the list is
ghana ghana means i am going to for
example in the sentence i am going to
meet my friend tonight
i am going to meet changes too
i am gonna meet my friend tonight let's
look at my fingers and then do it i am
going to meet my friend tonight it
changes to i am
gonna meet my friend tonight one more
time i am gonna meet my friend tonight
lemmy
lemmy is again something that is not
unheard of lemmy is
let space me
in the sentence
let me speak to my brother which means
please allow me to speak to my brother
if we use contraction in this it changes
to let me speak to my brother one more
time
let me speak to my brother two words let
me come together and they become lemmy
let me speak to my brother next up in
the list is needer
neither is
this is contracted form this is the
expanded form need
uh
for example i need a pen it changes to i
need a pen i need a pen
nida comes together and it becomes nida
nida let's do it together i need a pen
i need
um let's say let's say book i need a
book i need a sharpener i i i need a
chocolate right now for example up next
we have is outer another very very
important contraction that i've not seen
a lot of people using it please try
using it let's get down to the meaning
outer means out off for example i'm
standing out of this building it changes
to i'm standing
outer this building one more time i'm
standing
outer this building another such example
would be for example if you want to get
out of a conversation with somebody
because you are frustrated or you don't
just want to be a part of that
conversation you can say i am out of
this conversation one more time i am out
of this conversation that's right i hope
you're saying it after me
next one is tuna duna is a contracted
form of don't know well i've seen a lot
of kids using this especially in quite
an informal language local parliaments
in our world around us for example i
don't know what she said changes to i
don't know what she said
for example another example for this
would be
i don't know what you mean can't change
to i don't know what you mean
i don't know what you mean
i donna the next one in the list is one
of my most favorite one ones in the list
of contracted forms of words that we use
actually and it is called
ima ima is quite an informal uh
contraction um i spent about 15 years of
my life abroad and in that in that such
a long span of time um especially in the
initial years i started seeing all of
all of my classmates using imaim quite a
lot and i would not understand what they
mean ima primarily means i am going to
for example i am going to the park
one more time i am going to the park
changes to ima park ima to the park ima
to the park another example is i am
going to the party
it changes to
i'm a party
yes you heard it right although it
sounds a little tricky and slightly
wrong but it is not it is an absolutely
correct sentence in english language i'm
a party it is a very very informal
contraction and it primarily means i am
going to party
next one we have is talum telum is
something that i've heard in a lot of
songs especially justin bieber's songs
if you if you've heard them
and tell him primarily means
tell
them for example tell them to lock the
door
we can use it like this tell him to lock
to lock the door one more time tell him
to lock the door now it's time to look
at the next one sorta
sorta is again after ima one of my
favorite ones sorta means sort off and i
have seen a lot of my british friends
using sorta sorta sorta everywhere and i
think sort is their favorite phrasal
verb that they use together favorite
contraction sorta is sort off
for example she is sort of a good actor
and if if you have to say it fluently in
a contracted form you say she is sort of
good actor one more time she is sort of
good actor
let's move to the next one now
next in the list is gotcha
gotcha is
got it what is it
got it it means that you understand
whatever has been said for example if
somebody says got it you respond with a
got it but if somebody says gotcha what
should you respond with
gotcha absolutely next up in the list of
contractions is cause
kiz is again very very uh i would not
say unheard of
but not a lot of people use it and i'm
sure i'm certain if you use cause in
your daily life as you speak english i
think it's gonna add a lot of charm to
your sentences that you make and people
will listen to you very very carefully
because means because for example i did
that because i wanted to
it changes too i did that because i
wanted to one more time i did that
because i wanted to and the last one in
the list that we have is hasta hafta
quite quite
quite a rhythm in in in itself
hasta stands for has to
have
stands for have to for example
he has to attend the party
he has to attend the party let's do the
contracted form together he has to
attend the party let's come to hafta
have i i would like to mention a very
important pointer here
have the
sound the ver sound in have to changes
to fur
have to
have
to for example i have to attend the
party for example they have to attend
the party
