Why Native English Speakers Sound So Fast (And How You Can, Too)

Do you want to understand native English speakers more easily? Do you feel like they speak too fast? 🗣️ In this friendly English lesson, Mat and Molly share a little secret: native speakers don't actually speak fast, they speak smoothly. They connect their words together, which can make them sound fast.

This lesson will help you understand how they do it, so you can improve your listening and make your own speaking sound more natural and fluent.

✨ In this lesson, you will learn about:

What "connected speech" is and why it's important.

Common reductions like "gonna" (going to) and "whudduhyuh" (what do you).

How the 't' sound can change to a soft 'd' sound in American English
(like in "water").

Simple tips to improve both your listening and speaking skills.
