hey there i'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and the co-founder of
of English anyone . com and
and it is a pleasure to welcome you
you to another speak like me video
video in this series we're helping
helping you sound more like a native
native speaker by focusing on specific
specific phrases and the more phrases
phrases and the way you can practice
practice speaking the more of these
these things that you add to the way
way you speak the more you will sound
sound like a native speaker and I
I hope this build your confidence
confidence is well it definitely should
should
should well
well today what we're going to focus
focus on is zit and this is the blended
blended conversational form of is
is it
is it now
now this is a very common thing you
you will hear and that's why I want
want to practice it because you will
will use it so often you will hear
hear it so often as an example a very
very common conversational way you
you can address people you can greet
greet people is how's
how's it going how's it going how's
how's it going so
so I'm asking how is it going which
which is a very common thing that
that you won't find in a textbook
textbook usually in a textbook you'd
you'd see something like how are you
you how are you today how are you
you doing today but
but how's it going how is it going
going
going this
this is the casual and informal way
way again that we would say something
something we're addressing somebody
somebody may be a friend or you know
know we just see somebody like at
at a local store or something hey
hey how's it going how's it going
going
going and
and this is just asking about life
life in general but the important
important thing here not only the
the phrase itself which is really
really something you should be using
using instead of how are you you can
can say oh how's it going how's it
it going
it going the
the point here to remember is the
the blending of the sound now
now we can take hows it and we can
can use that same zit with other words
words as well so whenever we're asking
asking any kind of question we can
can say how's it or wears it four
four wins it or lose it or why is
is it so any of these we can use with
with this is it i'll give you a few
few examples now and again even if
if you don't speak so much this will
will be really helpful for you listening
listening and understanding when you're
you're maybe watching a movie or a
a TV show and you listen to people
people when they're speaking quickly
quickly and they're blending their
their sounds together so
so an example of how is it I already
already gave you how's it going but
but maybe something like where is
is it so I'm asking a friend of mine
mine he says there's a new movie coming
coming out so new movie and Sao where
where is it playing where is it playing
playing where's it playing I'm just
just asking out where is the movie
movie playing where is it where is
is it playing or i can say who's it
it
it so
so who is it so a friend of mine says
says I just got this new book and
and I say oh who's
who's it by who's it by who's it by
by so I'm saying who wrote the book
book or i can say why so
so maybe why is it like all why is
is it so cold so
so instead of why is it so cold i
i can say why is it so cold I'm
I'm just saying you know maybe maybe
maybe the weather got really cold
cold suddenly so why is it so cold
cold
cold why
why is it so cold why is it so cold
cold why's it so cold why
why is it so cold or i can say you
you know asking somebody when did
did something happen so when is the
the concert or when is some other
other thing i can say oh when's it
it start wins it start when's
when's it start so when does the movie
movie start when does the show start
start when does the the game maybe
maybe i'm watching some sporting event
event on TV and a friend of mine says
says all when's it start when's
when's it start I really want you
you to listen to these things and
and practice using them because you'll
you'll hear them over and over again
again and these are also things that
