we make the word of easier to say in spoken American English of is often
reduced to for example when you say kind of instead of saying all of the sounds
you can reduce kind of to kinda like for example I'm kind of tired I'm kind of
tired I think I'll stay home tonight so practice that phrase with me and make

stay home tonight great job the next example is lot of lot
of will reduce to lotta Lotta so in this case the of is being reduced and the
sound is changing to a flap T which sounds like /?/ sound lotta like I have a

lot of I have a lot of friends in New York I have a lot of friends in New York
