Stop Saying 'Want To' - Say THIS Instead | American English

If you say "want to" clearly in every sentence, Americans know you're not native. Learn connected speech—the secret to sounding smooth, natural, and confident in real American English conversations.

In this lesson, you'll master 8 essential connected speech patterns Americans use every single day:

✅ "Want to" → "Wanna"
✅ "Going to" → "Gonna"
✅ "Got to" → "Gotta"
✅ "What are you" → "Whaddaya"
✅ "Did you" → "Didja"
✅ "Don't know" → "Dunno"
✅ "Give me" → "Gimme"
✅ "Let me" → "Lemme"

🎯 Why This Matters:
Connected speech is how Americans actually talk in daily life—at work, with friends, at coffee shops, everywhere. When you connect words smoothly, you sound confident and natural instead of robotic or textbook.

Real-life examples from everyday American conversations
