hey what's up Stefanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime.com
in this video I'm gonna share more examples of fast speech so I've already
made two videos on this topic and you guys love them you requested more so
here we go but first before I actually share this list of examples with you I
want to reply to a few comments that I was getting on the other videos
basically a lot of people were like oh my gosh this isn't English this is crazy
Americans are butchering the English language and to that I just have to say
that people use connected speech and fast speech all around the world in
every language I am simply the messenger I am
explaining how this is used in American English but this happens again in every
single language okay so it's not that Americans are butchering the English
language it is that languages evolve okay and the written system of English
does not accurately reflect how English is spoken remember language existed
spoken language okay spoken language existed long before any written forms of
language now a written form of a language is just a poor attempt to allow
people to communicate via scratches and marks on a piece of paper okay we're
just trying to get information across but the language itself right what came
first the spoken language okay so the way English is written the way you read
it is not accurate when it comes to how the language is actually used by native
English speakers so with that let's get into our examples
it's gonna be a good day today because we are talking about fast speech it's
gonna be a good day it's gonna be a good day so do I talk like this all the time
no I don't but sometimes I do like when I'm with my sisters and I'm having fun
and they're like hey you know are you excited for whatever and I'm gonna be
like yeah it's gonna be a good day yeah basically it's gonna be is it is going to
be it's gonna be it's gonna be next let's say my car broke down and then my
dad fixed it and so then after he fixes my car what is he gonna say
all right Stef I fixed her up for you she's good as new
I fixed her up fixed her up for you I fixed her up for you she's good as new
now good as new is actually good as new
that's how we would write it if she is good as new but when we say it as it
gets reduced and it becomes is she's good as new and why we refer to
automobiles as something female I don't know but that's what a lot of people do
so I fixed her up for you she's good as new
next I could not have passed that test without your help I could not have
passed that test without your help so this is I could not have passed that
test without your help okay but look how I condensed all of that I could not have
pass my test right and it might sound crazy but once you learn how to speak
like this you'll realize that it helps you speak a lot faster and it helps you
sound more like a native speaker I could not have passed that test not have not have
right I could not have passed that test I could not have the word have in
English gets reduced it's almost like non-existent sometimes it is there but
usually it might be like an a sound like I could not have passed that test that's
I could not have okay next let's say I go grocery shopping and then I come home
with a bunch of groceries and I ask hey is there enough room in the fridge for
all of this is there enough room in the fridge for all of this
is there enough okay it's not is there it's is there is there enough room is
there enough room in the fridge for all of this is there enough room in the
fridge for all of this all of this all of this all of this okay is there enough
room in the fridge for all of this next the other day Ren and I were gonna
drive somewhere and I looked at him and I was like wait you remember how to get
there right you remember how to get there right
so that's do you remember how to get there or you remember how to get there
right or how to get they're right see I'm reducing and I
don't even realize I'm reducing so you remember how to get there right you
remember how to get there right you remember how to get there right do you
remember how to get there next where have you been where have you been this
is where have you been but we contract where have and it
becomes where've where've where have you been where have you been
next that's mean you shouldn't have said that that's mean you shouldn't have
said that shouldn't have shouldn't have said that
you should not have said that you shouldn't have shouldn't have you
shouldn't have said that you shouldn't have done that she shouldn't have gone
there shouldn't have shouldn't have okay this is shouldn't have what's that mean
what's that mean that is what does that mean what does
that mean what's that mean next where'd he go where'd he go I can't
find him where'd he go where did he go where'd he go where'd he where'd he go
why'd he do that why did he do that why'd he do that I don't know why do you
why do you do that or why'd you do that why'd you why'd you why'd you do that
next imma imma is I'm going to I'm gonna go to the bathroom real fast and then
we'll go that is what I say every time my husband asks hey Stefanie are you
ready let's go I'm like yeah wait I'm gonna go to the bathroom real fast and
then we'll go and then he's like real fast like take your time it doesn't have
to be fast anyways I'm gonna go to the bathroom okay and then we'll go and then
we'll go and then we'll go is we will we'll and when isolated this words and say them
you know alone it doesn't sound right because I never say we'll by itself
I only say it in the context of the sentence and then we'll go and then
we'll go but if you ask me hey Stefanie how do you pronounce this word I'll say
oh that's we'll that's we'll but ask me if I ever say we'll no I say we'll and
native speakers don't even realize that they make these
Auctions when they speak okay they don't even realize it
actually I get a lot of comments on these videos from native English
speakers saying wow I really like this video series I didn't realize we talked
like this so yeah okay we don't even realize that we do it next mm-hm
what is that that's I don't know right I don't know I don't know okay there are many
ways that we can say this and depending on how lazy I feel or I mean the word
isn't lazy but we can communicate without always saying all the words so
if my sister goes you know hey you know where's mom I'll be like oh I don't know or
I don't know okay next let's say my phone bill is due on Friday and Ren says hey
Stef the phone bill is due on Friday and I say oh I need to do that before I
forget I need to do that before I forget it doesn't say I'm good when I say it like
this but basically when I speak quickly I say I needa
this is need to I need to do that before I forget okay so before I'm taking off
the book and I'm just saying before I forget you should do that for you
forget you should really do that before you forget next might as well
might as well do that now I mean we're here now I might as well right might as
well this is might as well we might as well do it now since we're here might as
well might as well I mean you might as well do it now right you're here might
as well the price went up again the price went up went up instead of went up
it's went up the price went up again went up so there's actually no T sound
there next I heard this one a few months ago there was a couple walking downhill
while I was walking uphill and the man said to the woman yep going downhill is
always easier n going uphill okay so going downhill is going downhill is
always easier and going uphill going uphill right than going uphill so that
than especially when we're making comparisons often gets reduced to a nnn
sound that's it right always easier n easier n going uphill easier n going
uphill next let's say I'm at party with my sister and she sees me
taking pictures and she goes oh good you're taking pictures can you send'em
to me later can you send'em to me later can you
send them to me send them to me later okay
can you send them to me later can you send them to me later send him
to me that one's a bit tricky next who'd have thought it'd be so hard right
learning English fast speech connected speech who'd have thought it'd be so
hard who'd have thought this is who would
have thought it would be so hard okay who'd have thought it'd be so hard who
would have thought next sorry about that let's say I accidentally step on your toes or
something oops sorry about that sorry about that okay I'm not saying sorry
about that I'm saying sorry about that sorry about that next she said she'll do
the dishes right you cook dinner so she said she'll do the dishes she said
she'll do the dishes this is she said she will do the dishes
you cook dinner so she said she'll do the dishes she'll do she'll do she'll do
next is this her house is this her house let's say I'm driving
and I'm looking for my friend's house it's a new house she just moved okay and
I'm looking and I'm driving and then I point to one and I go hey wait
is this her house is this her house so when I say is this okay I'm actually not
putting my tongue between my teeth for the th I'm not saying is this her house
because that is awkward and it feels weird so I'm just saying is this our
house is this our house is this our house so for that th okay we're not
doing a for this this I'm saying is this is this it's like a Z sound is this your
house is this our house okay last one I'm trying to make this video and I keep
messing up okay I'm trying to make trying to make this is I am trying to
make I'm trying to make this video and I keep messing up which is true but I'm
gonna edit all the mess ups out or I'll try but tryna okay he's trying to do it
but he can't I'm trying to do this but I can't tryna okay so those are all the
exam fools that I have for you today for
those of you who want to learn how to speak more like this to sound more
natural more native-like etc my tip is to just listen to how people speak
English and imitate it let your brain absorb the patterns on its own if you
try to write down all of these sentences and cross things out and see what's
eliminated and what's not and find these patterns you know if you're looking for
it like that I don't think you'll be as successful as just listening listening
listening and repeating what you hear as you hear it because your brain is very
smart it can absorb these patterns naturally and when you're speaking
especially fast speech you're not gonna have time to sit there and be like you
know which sound am I supposed to eliminate here which letter am I
supposed to not say you don't have time for that so just listen and absorb the
language and let your brain do the hard work I promise it's very very smart
alright so that is it if you want a guide on practicing your English with
native speakers meeting native English speakers online interacting with us so
