Reductions help English speakers to
Reductions help English speakers to speak more quickly. They contribute to flow and fluency in speech.
Reductions or reduced speech is when an English speaker shortens or eliminates particular sounds. This can occur in the form of connected speech, reduced sounds, or contractions.
With today’s lesson, you’re going to learn 4 common reductions in American English pronunciation so that you can
- Better understand fast English speakers more easily — in conversations, in podcasts, on TV, etc.
- Use reductions for more natural-sounding speech in English
To be clear, there are 2 types of fast English speakers:
1. Those who follow natural pronunciation patterns in spoken English such as the reductions you’ll learn today. English speakers regularly blend, link, delete, and change sounds.
2. The second group of fast English speakers is those who follow these natural pronunciation patterns AND truly speak too fast. I’ll share some tips to better understand this group of fast English speakers in the lesson.
