so let's get into it a lot of people ask me for these videos how to speak english fast and
what are the tricks to learn how to link these phrases together so we're gonna go into it so
let's take a look at the first one shall we first one one of my favorites do you know
what i'm saying now if you're a long time fan from my channel probably you have seen do you know what
i mean we did a long lesson on that do you know what i mean do you know what i mean and today
we're going to learn do you know what i'm saying first of all when do we use it well we use it when
we're asking if someone understands or agrees with you especially if you have not expressed yourself
very clearly so we would say do you know what i am saying now of course nobody would say it that
slowly so i'm here to help you to speed it up so first things first we're going to take out that
auxiliary verb do bye bye we're not going to see it anymore so we'd say you know what i'm saying or
halfway there and we want to take what i make that into a flap t that's a d sound sound so it becomes
what i would i you know what i'm and then we would also shorten sometimes saying to sin
it's very informal i wouldn't be using it with your boss but you can definitely use
it with your friends and you would say first off slowly you know what i'm saying now you
a little faster you know what i'm saying
now you and full speed you know what i'm saying you know what i'm saying now you
great job so let's take a listen to an example situation where we can use this sitting on the
beach in the sun with a beautiful ocean breeze is all i need you know what i'm saying next one what
i'm trying to say is what i'm trying to say is now we use this one when we're trying to explain
better to someone who still does not understand completely what you're trying to tell them so we
want to similar to the last one say a flap t sound what i so becomes what i what i what i'm trying
now this next part two when we're speaking fast we can use something called a schwa
sound this is a very short sound in comparison to ooh in two two is like you're kissing the camera
like that so we'd say instead of tu tu so slowly what i'm trying to say is now you
a little faster what i'm trying to say is now you
and really fast what i'm trying to say is what i'm trying to say is now you
great job so let's listen to this in an example no i really like you i love you what i'm trying
to say is will you marry me the next one is a great way to offer or in to invite someone to
do something with you and this is a question that starts off with what do you say slowly
will become what do you what are you so what do you becomes what do you what do you say
let's try it slowly what do you say now you
faster what do you say now you and normal speed what do you say what do you say now you
great job let's listen to this in an example i'm hungry so am i what do you say we go out
for a bite to eat last one i told you so i love using this and i hear it all the time as well i
told you so so normally when we warn people about something and they do it anyway then after we can
say i told you so i told you that you shouldn't have done that i told you so so we want to learn
how to pronounce this quickly because people use it all the time so told u is the key here
so we have d on the end of told and we have y at the beginning of u so when we combine those two
together d plus y try to remember this it always becomes a j sound so it become i told you so
i told jew soul or you could say it even faster in a more informal way i told ja i told you so i told
you so i love this i told you so now let's try and practice this slowly i told you so
now a little faster i told you so and now normal speed i told you so i told you so now you
great job so let's listen to an example of where we could have this used remember when i said that
if you drank too much tonight that tomorrow you would have a hangover well now you have a hangover
i told you so i told you so okay everybody you will be able to download the karaoke
