Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

How fast can you speak English?

Let's talk about it.

Have you ever thought, oh my goodness,

English speakers speak so fast.

How will I ever be able to speak like that?

Well, today I have some good news for you.

I'm going to share with you seven important tips that native speakers use when they speak quickly.

We're going to talk about reducing sounds,

cutting off sounds, and connecting sounds.

And then at the end of this lesson,

I have a challenge sentence for you that I want you to be able to say as fast as you possibly can.

So let's get started with the first tip.

My first tip for speaking fast English is to use contractions.

What are contractions?

They're when you put two words together.

I'd like to go is I would like to go.

He's busy.

He is busy.

What are you doing?

If you'd like some tips about how to pronounce 81 contractions,

I made a video about that up here to help your pronunciation.

But this first tip is the most simple.

We'll talk about some more difficult tips later,

and it's an easy way to speak quickly.

I'd like to go.

I would like to go.

Do you see how we can speak quicker

because we're cutting off all the sounds in the word would except for that final D.

I'd like to go.

Great.

Let's go on to the second tip.

My second tip for speaking fast English is to reduce these four common verbs.

Gonna, wanna, gotta, hafta.

I'm gonna study English means I'm going to study English.

That word to simply becomes a.

I'm gonna study English.

Or you might say, I wanna study English.

Here we're changing want to to wanna.

Again, the word to changes to a.

I wanna study English.

Or maybe you would say, I gotta study English.

Here we have a longer verb.

I have got to study English becomes I gotta.

I gotta study English.

And then you might say,

I have to study English.

Have to, here again, to changes to a.

I have to study English.

Can you say these with me?

I'm gonna study English.

I wanna study English.

I gotta study English.

I have to study English.

Beautiful sentences and it's so fast.

My third tip for speaking fast English is to reduce the word you when you're asking a question.

We're going to talk about three common question words and unfortunately,

the word you reduces in a different way for each question.

So listen carefully and let's check it out.

The first question word is what.

How can we reduce the question, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

We could reduce this to say, whatcha doing?

Whatcha?

It sounds like a CH sound here.

And actually we've cut out completely the word R and the word you just becomes cha.

Whatcha doing?

You might notice too, extra tip,

that the end of the word doing,

that G also gets cut out.

Whatcha doin'?

So I end that word with an N.

Whatcha doin'?

Oh, I'm teaching an English lesson.

Oh, I'm studying English.

I'm going to sleep.

Whatcha doin'?

Whatcha, That should do it.

Let's talk about the second WH question.

Where you going?

Do you notice the same thing happening here with that ing at the end?

Where you going?

It ends with an N.

What is happening with the word you?

Where ya?

We just changed it to ya.

Ya.

Not you, but ya.

Where ya going?

And again, we cut out R.

Where are you going?

Where ya going?

Where are you going?

100

What about if you wanted to ask a polite question?

101

Would you help me?

102

Maybe you need some help in the office.

103

You might ask this lovely question, would you help me?

104

But if you want to say it fast,

105

you could say, would you help me?

106

Would you help me?

107

Would you help me?

108

Would you?

109

Instead of a ch sound like we talked about before, whatcha doing?

110

Here instead we are going to say juh.

111

Would juh help me?

112

Can you say that with me?

113

Would juh?

114

Would juh help me?

115

Would you help me?

116

Becomes would juh.

117

Would you help me?

118

Would you help me please?

119

Tips number four, five, and six include cutting off sounds.

120

These are a little bit more tricky,

121

so let's pay attention carefully.

122

Tip number four for speaking fast English is to cut off the T at the end of words.

123

What about this sentence?

124

I go out every night.

125

I go out every night.

126

Do you hear I go out every night?

127

Nope.

128

Instead, your tongue is at the top of your mouth.

129

You're about to make the T sound,

130

but no air goes through.

131

So it's just stopped at the top of your mouth.

132

I go out every night.

133

I go out every night.

134

If you would like to know some more common sentences in English that use this,

135

we use this all the time,

136

but you can check out this video I made up here about how to pronounce the most common sentences in English.

137

I go out every night.

138

Can you say that with me?

139

I go out every night.

140

Tip number five for fast English is to cut off the letter D at the end of words.

141

Let's check out this sample sentence.

142

I found a blue and white card.

143

I found a blue and white card.

144

I found a blue and white card.

145

Maybe you found a blue and white card on the street

146

and it was a birthday card that someone just threw out their window.

147

I found a blue and white card.

148

I found ...

149

The word ends in the letter N.

150

I found a blue and white ...

151

Here the word and is being reduced.

152

Just cut off that final D sound.

153

I found a blue and white card.

154

Card.

155

This is a little bit different than the word car.

156

I drive a car because your mouth is making the shape of that D sound,

157

but it's not making the vibrations happening.

158

You're not actually making a D sound,

159

but your mouth is making that shape.

160

Card, card.

161

My tongue is flat against the roof of my mouth to make the D,

162

but it's not coming out.

163

Card, card.

164

Can you say that sentence with me?

165

I found a blue and white card.

166

I found a blue and white card.

167

I found a blue and white card.

168

My sixth tip for speaking fast English is quite advanced.

169

is to cut off the first sounds with a few pronouns,

170

him, his, her, and them.

171

Let's look at a couple of sample sentences.

172

I think he's right.

173

I think he's right.

174

I think he's right.

175

There's no H happening here.

176

I think he, think he.

177

Kind of sounds like you're saying thinky.

178

I think he's right.

179

Do you notice too at the end of the word right,

180

there's no T sound.

181

I think he's right.

182

I think he's right.

183

I think he's right.

184

We do this all the time.

185

Let's go on to another pronoun.

186

It's his turn.

187

It's her turn.

188

It's his turn.

189

It's her turn.

190

This one's a little bit weird, isn't it?

191

The H at the beginning of his and her is cut off.

192

We don't do this all the time,

193

but it does happen often enough that you want to make sure you can understand

194

when native English speakers are using it and also so that you can use it yourself.

195

It's our turn.

196

It's her turn.

197

It's his turn.

198

Is turn.

199

It's his turn.

200

It's his turn.

201

We're not saying it's his turn.

202

It's his turn.

203

It's his turn.

204

It's our turn.

205

It's our turn.

206

It's our turn.

207

Great.

208

What about the word them?

209

I listen to them.

210

I listen to them.

211

Um.

212

The word them has the th cut out and instead you're saying um.

213

Um.

214

I listen to them.

215

Maybe if someone asks about some music that you like,

216

you might say, oh yeah, I listen to them.

217

I listen to um, um, I listen to them.

218

This is quite casual and we use it a lot in daily conversation.

219

I listen to them.

220

Can you say that with me?

221

I listen to um, um.

222

So we need to reduce some pronouns as we're speaking.

223

Him, his, her, them.

224

My seventh tip for speaking fast English is specific to American English.

225

It is to change a T sound to a D sound.

226

You might have noticed that we've done a lot with T's and D's,

227

cutting them off at the end of words,

228

and here we're changing them for each other.

229

So when we say a word like the word better,

230

water, do you hear better, water?

231

No. In American English, a T that's between two vowel sounds,

232

it doesn't always have to be a vowel,

233

but between two vowel sounds is going to change to a D.

234

Better, water.

235

Let's look at a sample sentence.

236

The sweater is better.

237

I like water.

238

Sweater, notice that T, it's between two vowels,

239

is better, it's between two vowel sounds.

240

I like water, also between two vowels.

241

But what if we take it up a notch?

242

These T's in the next sample sentence are also between vowel sounds,

243

but it's not so clear.

244

Put it in the desk.

245

Put it in the desk.

246

We have a lot of D sounds.

247

Put it in.

248

Put it in.

249

What's happening with that T at the end of the word put?

250

Well, it's a T between two vowels,

251

even though there's two separate words.

252

Put it in.

253

And the word it is between two vowels,

254

even though it's two separate words.

255

So I know this can be a little bit tricky,

256

but you're going to hear native speakers use this all the time,

257

so make sure you can do it too.

258

Can you say it with me?

259

Put it in.

260

Put it in.

261

Put it in the desk.

262

Put it in the desk.

263

Put it in the desk.

264

Put it in the desk.

265

Do you see how that makes it much faster?

266

Because instead of spending the time to let the air come out of your mouth,

267

your tongue is just tapping the top of your mouth to make a D.

268

Put it in, put it in,

269

instead of put it in.

270

It makes it a lot faster.

271

Are you ready for a final challenge sentence?

272

It's going to combine so many of these seven tips and it's going to challenge your mind and your pronunciation muscles.

273

Our sentence is, I'm going to eat his food and it'll taste great.

274

Pretty fast.

275

Let's break it down.

276

I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

277

Remember those reductions we talked about at the beginning of this lesson?

278

We have a contraction, I am,

279

and then we're reducing going to, to become gonna.

280

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, eat is, eat is.

281

Here the final T is changing to a D.

282

But why is it changing to a D if the next word doesn't start with a vowel?

283

Well, do you remember that we need to cut off the H for the word his?

284

So instead it sounds like a vowel, is.

285

Ead is.

286

So let's change that T to a D and make sure that you cut off the H.

287

Ead is.

288

Can you say that with me?

289

Ead is.

290

Ead is food.

291

Food?

292

What happens to that final D?

293

We just cut it off.

294

Food?

295

We're cutting off the next D.

296

It'll taste great.

297

It'll.

298

What is happening with this contraction?

299

Well, when we say the contraction it will,

300

we kind of add a little U sound before the L.

301

It kind of sounds like U-L-L.

302

It'll.

303

So here we have two vowel sounds,

304

even though we don't see them, similar to before.

305

It is.

306

So here we have it'll.

307

It'll taste.

308

So we're cutting off the tea.

309

Great.

310

And we're cutting off the tea again.

311

It'll taste great.

312

Can we go back and say this full challenge sentence together?

313

Let's give it a try.

314

I'm gonna eat his food and it'll taste great.

315

So much going on here.

316

Let's try to say it fast.

317

I'm gonna eat his food and it'll taste great.

318

I'm gonna eat his food and it'll taste great.

319

I'm gonna eat his food and it'll taste great.

320

Oh, great.

321

I hope you can say this sentence by yourself.

322

Use those pronunciation muscles and challenge yourself.

323

Thanks so much for learning English with me.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
