American English Contractions Learners DON'T USE

English contractions are necessary for sounding natural in American English. Yet, many English learners don't use contractions enough, or they pronounce them differently than native speakers. This Fluent American English pronunciation video will guide you through the most common contractions using the verbs to be, to have, would, should, and could. We'll pronounce each contraction in English 5 times, then provide an example sentence which will also be repeated 5 times. To start, we'll warm up with some placement exercises.
