Hey guys, welcome back to another video with me, Lau.

Today we have a very useful, very interesting video, as always, but this one especially.

In this video, I'm going to give you specific examples of how we speak fast in the United States and Canada.

By being aware of these examples and practicing them yourself, it will help you prepare for listening to that, like hearing that and identifying what they're saying, and also using it yourself.

If you haven't seen my video, how to understand fast English, you have to watch that video.

Well, the video is in Spanish, so you can only watch it if you know Spanish, unfortunately.

But in that video, I talk about basically the same kind of thing that I'm talking about in this video with just different examples.

I'm going to put the link in the comments and you need to watch that after this video, if you haven't seen it.

I talk about examples like instead of saying, it should not have happened, we say, it shouldn't have happened.

It shouldn't have.

Shouldn't have.

Or instead of,

I could have done that we say i could have done that i coulda i coulda shoulda coulda woulda very important examples you need to watch that video

all right the examples in this video today are going to be like a similar idea but different phrases different things and if you

get used to this way of talking you'll realize that you're actually flowing better it's actually easier to say and overall it's

just fun and it sounds good all right so with that being said let's get into it we almost never say hey, what are you doing?

Unless we're like, hey, what are you doing?

You know, like if we really want to give emphasis to what are you doing, then we might say that.

But in general, a lot of times we're just going to be like, what are you doing?

What a, so what are becomes what a, what a, you becomes ya, what are you doing?

Doing, doing, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

By the way, I recommend pausing the video after I teach each one of these phrases so that you can practice it yourself.

All right.

And if you have to go back and repeat, fantastic.

Hey, what are you doing?

And another version of this is what you're doing?

What you're doing?

Hey, what you're doing?

What you're doing?

In what you, what are you is all combined.

It's just what you, what you're doing.

So what are you doing?

It's actually the longer version of what you're doing.

We use both.

It just depends what you feel like using in that moment.

What are you doing?

What you're doing?

And even if we're talking to multiple people.

Hey, what are you guys doing?

What are you guys doing?

Sometimes it's yeah, sometimes it's you.

Either way, what are you?

What are you?

What are you guys doing?

Hey, what are you guys doing?

And in the south, it's very common to say, hey, what are y'all doing?

What are y'all doing?

Hey, what are y'all doing?

What are y'all doing?

I was listening to some of my videos where I'm talking in English and I was listening to the way that I combine words, and I wrote down some examples from that.

I noticed that instead of saying, we should have it done by tomorrow, I said, yeah, we should have it done by tomorrow.

We should have it done by tomorrow.

We should have it.

A lot of times with should, we don't even say should, okay?

A lot of times it's just a sh or a sh.

We should have it.

We sh have it.

We should have it.

We should have it done by tomorrow.

And instead of by tomorrow, by tomorrow, by tomorrow.

All the time in English, the T is really like a D.

We write a T, but it's like a D sound, by tomorrow, especially when talking fast or normal.

We should have it done by tomorrow.

We should have it.

We should have it done by tomorrow.

Dumb by tomorrow.

Yeah, we should probably have it done by tomorrow.

We should probably, probably, probably, probably, yeah, we should probably have it done by tomorrow.

The next example is very similar.

We say instead of I could have it every day, we say I can have it every day.

I can have it.

So just like the should becomes like SHH the could becomes like CEH, CEH.

I can have it, I can have it.

Yeah, I can have it every day.

I can have it.

Another one I said was, if you can have a conversation in English, if you can have a conversation, if you can have, if you can have, you can, if you can have a conversation.

And that one's a little hard because I could be saying you could have, you can have, you can have.

But I also could be saying you can have.

We do the same thing with can when we talk fast.

You can have is actually you can have.

So it could be could or can.

We do the same thing to both.

If you can have a conversation, if you can have.

It looks like I wrote down another example of could.

I said at one point in one video, I said, it could be hard.

100

It could be hard.

101

It could be.

102

It could be.

103

It could be.

104

It could be.

105

It could be.

106

But I could also be saying, it can be.

107

It can be hard.

108

That one might have a slight, slight like N sound in there.

109

Like, it can be.

110

It can be.

111

It could be.

112

The difference is extremely subtle.

113

So they basically sound like almost the same.

114

Did you already cook?

115

that becomes, did you already cook?

116

Already.

117

Did you already cook?

118

Did you already cook?

119

And by the way, some of these examples, like we do say the original version a lot.

120

Like we do say, did you already cook?

121

Already.

122

Already.

123

We do pronounce the L and the whole word sometimes.

124

Yes.

125

Often.

126

Yeah.

127

But when we talk fast, it often sounds like already.

128

Did you already?

129

Did you already?

130

So when you learn this word in English class, they're going to tell you like already, Or if you look on the internet or Google Translate, like already.

131

And yeah, that's like the official pronunciation of the word or if you're like emphasizing it.

132

But we almost never say that.

133

We say like already or already.

134

It's a lot easier than saying already.

135

And notice that we're also saying didja, didja instead of did you.

136

Didja already, didja already.

137

Notice how did you already all of a sudden sounds like one word.

138

Didja already, didja already say that?

139

Didja already, didja already.

140

And when you're consuming content in English and you're studying it, you should be paying attention to this.

141

A few words come together to make like one sound.

142

And if you get used to those groups of words, that will help you a lot in your listening and speaking.

143

Did you already know that?

144

In one video I said, and all the other kids would be silent.

145

And all the other kids will be silent.

146

That's what we deal with would.

147

With should and could, a lot of times we cut off the end, but with would, a lot of times we cut off the beginning.

148

So instead of saying, kids would be, I'm saying, kids would be.

149

So one day I was talking to myself in my room as I do all the time.

150

And I said, yeah, I'm going to put them in the oven.

151

And I said, wait a minute, I got to write that down.

152

Put them in the oven.

153

We use um, put them, put them.

154

We often write it like M, but we don't always say it like M.

155

We say like, um, put them, put them in the oven.

156

We use this to say them, which can refer to like them, like people, or them, like plural of a thing, you know, like multiple objects.

157

Right.

158

So when I was saying put them in the oven, I wasn't talking about people.

159

I was saying, put the potatoes in the oven or, you know, put the multiple items of food in the oven.

160

Put the cookies in the oven.

161

Put them in the oven.

162

Here and there, we might say, put them in the oven.

163

Put them in the oven.

164

But a lot of times, it's just put them in the oven.

165

But if you don't understand the context, it could be a little confusing if we're talking about them or we're talking about him.

166

Because we do the same thing with him.

167

I am making these cookies for him.

168

I might say, yeah, I'm making them for him.

169

Yeah, I'm making them for him.

170

Making them for him.

171

Yeah, I'm making them.

172

Making them.

173

I'm making the cookies.

174

I'm making them.

175

I'm making them for them.

176

For him.

177

For him.

178

Yeah, I'm making them for him.

179

Ah, you're making the cookies for him?

180

Yeah, I'm making them for him.

181

Yeah, he would love these cookies.

182

Yeah, that's why I'm making them for him.

183

Yeah, that's why I'm making them for him.

184

Yeah, that's why.

185

I'm saying, yeah, that's why.

186

That's why.

187

Yeah, that's why I'm making them for him.

188

The next one is what do you, what does he, what does she, what do they becomes?

189

what are you?

190

What are you?

191

Or what are ya?

192

Sometimes what are ya?

193

Sometimes what are you?

194

Okay, it could be both.

195

It could be both.

196

What does he?

197

What is he?

198

What is he?

199

Notice how we don't even say the H in he.

200

We just say what is he?

201

What is he?

202

What is he?

203

What does she becomes what is she?

204

What is she?

205

What do they?

206

Becomes what are they?

207

What are they?

208

What are they?

209

The next thing we do all the time in English is instead of saying I don't blah blah blah, we say, I don't, I don't, I don't, but like together, I don't, like we drop the D and say, I don't, I don't want to do that.

210

I don't want to do that.

211

And sometimes wanna is just one.

212

I don't want to do that.

213

I don't want to think about it.

214

I don't like that.

215

I was watching a video of a British teacher, very popular on YouTube.

216

Well, he's got a lot of subscribers.

217

His most popular video is a video kind of like this, where he explains how to understand native speakers when we're talking.

218

And of course he was teaching British English.

219

He was giving the British perspective, British version.

220

But I was able to take some stuff from that.

221

And now I'm gonna give my American perspective.

222

So he said, instead of saying, I didn't want to, they would just say I didn't want to, I didn't want to.

223

So they don't say the T in didn't, they say didn't, that's very common in American English as well, and instead of saying to they say to, and yeah that's also extremely common in American English.

224

So we do the same thing and we also say I didn't want to, but I would take it a step further.

225

I think what's even more common and even easier to say in American English, we have two variations.

226

You can say, I didn't wanna, I didn't wanna, or I didn't wanna, I didn't wanna, wanna.

227

And I think we use, I didn't wanna, when we're ending the phrase there, we're ending the sentence, right?

228

That's it.

229

Yeah, I just didn't wanna, done.

230

End of sentence.

231

I think we use wanna more when we're continuing the sentence, like, I didn't wanna do that.

232

I didn't wanna do that.

233

But to just end the sentence, And that's the difference between English and some other languages like maybe some Romance languages like Spanish or Portuguese for example.

234

You can just say in those languages like I didn't want.

235

I didn't want but in English you have to say I didn't want to I didn't want to.

236

So a lot of times we just say I didn't want to.

237

I didn't want to.

238

I just didn't want to.

239

Yeah, I could have done that.

240

But I didn't want to.

241

I could have done that, but I did not want to.

242

Yeah, I could have done that, but I just didn't want to Just, just, instead of just, just, there's so many examples.

243

I just didn't want to.

244

I just didn't want to.

245

Okay, the last thing I want to share, I think is a little interesting for me.

246

In the British English video, he started the video by saying, should we go have a good day?

247

And I'm not doing the British accent, by the way, I can't do it.

248

But basically he said, should we go have a good day?

249

Should we go have a good day?

250

And in my American English brain, I thought he was saying, should we go and have a good day?

251

but actually he was saying, shall we go and have a good day?

252

And that's a big difference between American and British English.

253

In British English, they still use shall.

254

In American English, we almost never use shall.

255

And if we use shall, it's because we're being funny, kind of like imitating the British or, you know, old English.

256

We do that to be funny or to be cute or whatever, but that's not how we regularly talk.

257

So when I heard shwe, should we go and have a good day?

258

I thought it was, should we?

259

And if we use that phrase in American English, shui, and we do, that's what we would be saying.

260

So if you hear that shui in American English, it's probably should we or not shall we.

261

And this ties back to one of my first examples where I said we don't even really pronounce the whole should a lot of the time.

262

Sometimes, yeah, but a lot of times we just say the sh.

263

And so it's like that.

264

Should we, shui, shui, go have a good day.

265

All right, there are many, many more examples, but I'm going to end the video there because I don't want it to be too, too long.

266

I don't know about you, but I don't really like super long videos, nor do I like editing them.

267

Let me know what you thought of the video in the comment section.

268

And I appreciate all the nice feedback I've been getting about my videos in English.

269

Thanks so much for the support and I'll see you in the next video.

270

Bye bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
