4 Keys to Understand Americans Who Talk Fast

  • Sometimes it's hard to understand Americans and it seems like they talk fast! Here are 4 things to help you understand Americans better when they speak.
    ***Become fluent in real American English, with my free pronunciation & comprehension exercises: christinarebuffet.com/america...
    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
    1. What do you” sounds like /whuhduhya/or /whutcha/
    2. We don’t always use auxiliary verbs. We say things like "You have a problem?" for "Do you have a problem?" and "They leaving tomorrow?" for Are they leaving tomorrow?"
    3. Present perfect simple is often optional. In American English we often just use the past simple, as in “Did you buy the house yet?” instead of “Have you bought the house yet?”
    4. /t/ sounds like /d/...or disappears: "This little city’s pretty!" doesn't sound like Lit-tle. Ci-ty. Pre-tty. It sounds like /luhdduhl/, /sihddee/, and /pruhdee/. But in words like "twenty", the /t/ sound disappears, as in /twuhnny/
    WHAT ABOUT YOU?
    What other interesting things have you heard in American English? Maybe something Americans said, that you thought was wrong. Or just something you thought was strange.
    Tell us about it in the comments, and let’s continue the conversation there!

  • @ChristinaRebuffet
    @ChristinaRebuffet  Před 6 lety +31

    Hey guys, just a little correction in the spelling in the subtitles! At around 7:20, I said "This little phenomenon even has its own name: the flap T", but in the subtitles it's written "it's", which is a mistake! It should be "its", because "its" is the possessive, not the contraction "it + is".
    An Ambassador pointed this out to me, and I wanted to signal it to you, so you don't make the mistake! So be reassured, even English teachers can make mistakes too :-)

    • @hazcat
      @hazcat Před 6 lety

      It 's the same as "have a good day." You could use "have a good one" at any time of day. For example, if you are eating lunch with your friend, and it's time for him to go back to work or school, he might say "I need to go now. (I'll) See you later." You could answer "OK. Have a good one!"

    Hmmm, might be helpful for some people. I'm actually an American hoping to find some kind of video that will help me to understand how to understand other Americans who simply talk really fast for a really long time. It looks like they don't require any breathing at all, they can just ramble on like a TV show on FastForward for hours and I just expect them to explode at any moment. All I can grasp are pops and clicks of certain C or T's here and there. They sound like Chipmunks on speed and it really frustrates and annoys me.
