1
How we speak isn't always how we write.
2
Today, I want to teach you five things English speakers do in real conversations,
3
specifically when they ask questions.
4
This includes reductions and how words connect together in natural English speech.
5
by the end of this video you will be able to understand english better and speak more naturally
6
now i will start slowly and then increase the difficulty as we go so
7
if the beginning is a little easy for you stay with me i promise you will get something useful from this video
8
Let's start with the contracted S.
9
So, you probably know that we can contract S with many words in English, but I want to focus on questions.
10
And I want to involve you immediately.
11
So please, listen and repeat.
12
Do some shadowing practice with me.
13
So repeat after me.
14
Who's that?
15
What's this?
16
Where's the milk?
17
When's the test?
18
What time's the game?
19
Why is she late.
20
How's the coffee?
21
Good.
22
So, you notice that with most of these, you have a Z sound, right?
23
So, So, whose, where's, when's, what time's, why's, how's.
24
The only question word that uses the tss, the actual S sound, is what is,
25
which becomes what's, what's, what's.
26
Okay?
27
So, just repeat after me one more time. Whose.
28
What's?
29
Where's?
30
When's?
31
What times?
32
Why's?
33
How's?
34
All right, let's continue with the reduced ing.
35
And I have three examples, and one of them, Yeah, I think one of them, the first one, uses something from the first section.
36
So repeat after me.
37
We reduce the ing, by the way, by instead of saying going, we say going, going.
38
No ing, just in, in, in.
39
So how's it going?
40
How's it going? When are we leaving? When are we leaving?
41
Are you coming with us?
42
Are you coming with us?
43
So I speak like this when I speak with my friends.
44
Like, are you coming?
45
Right?
46
Are we going?
47
What time are we leaving? leaving, leaving, going, coming.
48
You can say coming, going, leaving.
49
Sometimes I say coming, going, leaving, but if I don't think about my speech and I feel lazy,
50
I will say, what time are we leaving?
51
Who's coming?
52
Right?
53
So, you can say it this way.
54
Here, I have a list of other common speaking reductions.
55
I have other videos that teach this, So, this might be a review for some of you.
56
It's never a bad idea to review.
57
For example, you is often said as ja, and this is not only in questions, but it's in natural speech.
58
So, for example, how are you doing?
59
How are you doing?
60
Our is often shortened, reduced to our, our, our, our. Is that our car?
61
Too fast, Alex.
62
I know.
63
Is that, is that our car?
64
Okay, let's try fast now.
65
Is that our car?
66
To is often reduced to ta, ta, ta.
67
So are you going to go?
68
To go, to go, to go.
69
Are you going to go?
70
Are you going to go?
71
now you might be wondering wait alex i i know
72
you can also say are you gonna go
73
that's okay too are you gonna going to is often shortened
74
to gonna are you gonna go are you gonna go are you gonna go that's it okay
75
and and and is it him and me repeat is it him and me
76
like is it our turn uh during the presentation or the meeting at work or er um you want tea or coffee
77
tea or coffee
78
and the h's in him he her
79
when they are in the middle of a sentence
80
or the middle of a question they are often reduced
81
so him sounds like him he sounds like e her sounds like er for For example, do you know him? Do you know him? Where did he go? Where did he go?
82
You can say, where did he go?
83
But in fast speech, we say, where did he, where did he, where did he, where did he go?
84
And, of course, her. Is that her car? Is that her car?
85
Is that her car?
86
Okay.
87
Not bad.
88
So far, so good.
89
Okay, so we have the contracted S.
90
We have the reduced ING.
91
these are some bonus reductions and let's go with three more before we do
92
that if you are enjoying this video
93
and you want to learn how to ask more english questions in a correct way in a natural way
94
i actually have a book called perfect english questions
95
and how to answer them so you can just check out the link
96
that is attached to this video to practice present simple past
97
simple negative questions tag questions questions about work questions about school directions offers many many things
98
there's a pdf an ebook and a physical version now let's go back to the video i'll start with two present reductions,
99
and both of them have the subject you.
100
So, what do you and what are you in question form?
101
With what do you, this is often reduced to what -a -ya?
102
What -a -ya?
103
So, repeat after me, slowly.
104
What -a -ya?
105
Okay.
106
Let's do some practice.
107
What do you think?
108
What do you want?
109
What do you need?
110
what do you do what do you say what do you say what do you say
111
this is something you can say
112
when you are trying to convince someone to you know do something
113
and to agree with you come on help me what do you say
114
right so come i want you to agree with me and to help me
115
so let's do these one more time but faster okay so
116
if i were actually speaking in a real conversation i would say it like this what do you think
117
right yeah i know what do you think slow down but natural fast speech.
118
What do you think?
119
What do you want?
120

121

122
What do you say?
123

124
Are you laughing?
125
Okay, I hope you are laughing.
126
I know it's difficult, but with more practice, more listening,
127
you will get it next what are you this has two options usually you can say whatcha whatcha whatcha
128
and you notice these are all continuous questions right present continuous whatcha
129
and yes you can use what are you for present simple questions what do you
130
and present continuous questions what are you okay we'll start with watcha watcha watcha
131
which might be easier actually so instead of what are you doing
132
and you noticed I added remember we did the reduced ing so listen and repeat what you're doing
133
slower okay what you're doing what you're writing what you're watching
134
what you're watching
135
what you're looking at if i see you are on your phone and you are very focused ah what you're looking at
136
whatcha whatcha what you're looking at you can't say what you
137
as well what you looking at what you looking at right okay let's try what are ya what are ya
138
what are you doing what are you writing what are you watching
139
what are you looking at
140
i know and you are saying alex i don't want to speak like this even
141
if you don't want to speak like this you need to be able to understand
142
when people speak like this uh you hear this in movies, in TV shows, in podcasts.
143
So, the purpose of this video is not only for you to speak naturally,
144
but also to understand English speakers when you hear them on the street, in a movie, in a show, or in a podcast, for example.
145
Okay, let's talk in the past.
146
Welcome to level 99.
147
This is a challenge, so please come with me.
148
I will do my best to guide you on this journey. Did you?
149

152
Did you talk to Lois?
153
Where did you find it?
154
How did you meet?
155
Did you have breakfast?
156
However, in natural, fast English speech,
157
English speakers often smash did you into a variety of sounds.
158
There are many, many options here.
159
So, let's start with these. For example,
160
did you can be said as did you? did you
161
or did you did you okay
162
it can also just be said as Jew
163
or Jew Jew Jew you you will hear it soon okay in a context

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
This speaking lesson is built on the video “How English Speakers ACTUALLY Ask Questions”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: english, lois, repeat, speak, example. This video has 220 sentences and 1905 words to shadow. The speech runs for 19:38. The speaker talks slowly, about 97 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. 91% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is easy to follow. 88 of its 220 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
