Hi ChatterFoxes, do you want to speak
English fast??? in this video you're going
to learn one simple trick that you can
use in a lot of different situations to
speak English fast and of course you'll
also learn to understand fast English
once you understand this trick. so before
we get started make sure you subscribe
to our YouTube channel so you don't miss
out on any of our American English
pronunciation videos. so now let's learn
this trick to speaking fast English. this
trick is called a reduction which means
reducing something to make it easier to
say and it is the reduction of the word
/you/. the word /you/ is reduced in many
different situations in spoken American
English and so we're going to look at
some of these examples and you'll
practice pronouncing them so that you'll
be able to pronounce these even better
than a native. starting with /how did you/
/how did you/ rule will reduce to howjya
howjya see how much easier that is to say
howjya it's a lot easier to say then how
did you so let's practice
haja for example fixie if you're one of
your colleague fixes the copier you can
ask: how did you fix that? how did you fix
that? howjya fix that?
how did you fix that? great job another
example: /what did you/ /what did you/ will
reduce to whajya, whajya, whajya
whajya, like in the question: whajya do
this weekend? whajya do this
weekend? say that with me and make sure
you're pronouncing the reduction whajya
whajya do this weekend? whajya
do this weekend?
whajya do this weekend? the next
example is with the question word /when/
/when did you/ will reduce to whenjya
whenjya, like a question that you may be
asked is: whenjya move to the United
States? whenjya move to the United
States? whenjya, the YOU turns into JYA
whenjya move to the United
States? whenjya move to the United
States? and next with the question word
WHO-/who did you/ will reduce to WHOJYA
for example WHOJYA go out with last
night? WHOJYA go out with last night?
and one final example is /wherJYA/ which
is the reduction of /where did you/
/WHOJYA/ for example where did you
study?
WHOJYA study? WHOJYA you study? is
a question that asked about where you
went to the university where did you go
for your university studies. where did
you study?
great job. so now you know how to speak
English fast by reducing /did and you/ to
/jya/. /DIJYA/ /WHERJYA/ /WHOJYA/ etc so now
you know how to do that I have a
question for you about this question:
where did you study? some people think that
where you studied is super important and
that the people who went to the best
universities deserve the best jobs and
are more intelligent than everyone else
other people think that it's more
important that you just study and
educate yourself and work hard. so I want
to know what you think: what is more
important which university you went to?
or how hard you worked and
good your education was, tell me your
opinion in the comments below
can't wait to hear from you. great job
