I wrote a listening and accent reduction book called "Whaddaya Say" (Pearson Education) on this subject. These pronunciations are called "reduced forms". They're caused by speed of speech. I did a 700 page formal research study on the causes of reduced forms at the Univ. of Calif., Los Angeles, and I only studied highly educated native speakers. I found statistical significance for speed of speech as the main cause for these pronunciation changes. Many of my English language learners say "Americans talk so fast". They're absolutely correct. When native speakers talk at a natural speed, these changes happen automatically -- with no planning.
I have a copy of your book Ms. Weintein and it is SENSATIONAL! I know it is out of print, so I feel very fortunate to have my copy. My students have a ball every time I use it in class with them. Why don't you reprint it? Please?? It would be good to so many people out there! Please? Best regards from Brazil!
Maricene Crus My book, "Whaddaya Say" Second Edition is in print. Maybe you have the old edition, but the second edition is available at amazon.com. Also, the digital audio is available at my English-teaching website -- easyenglish.us.com
Nina Weinstein Thank you so much for the info Ms. Weinstein. This is great news!! I'll check that right now and I'll recommend your book to people, for sure. Keep up the good work and thanks again. Best regards.
Her way to talk it's so good, because she doesn't talk fast and doesn't talk slowly too. I'm from Brazil and I am learning English for 9 months. My goal is work using my English. I'll do that. On youtube we have many ways to practice all kinds of English.
Ronnie ! I like the way you teach English. It is slow, word by word pronounced correctly as required to learn by the students, short and sweet and not boring. Learning from a native speaker has many advantages. I am recommending my wife to take you as her English Guru. Thank you !
You dont have an idea how much it helped me, I've been learning english for a time, and nobody had told me about the "kinda" and it's a common word in english. You are amazing.
One minor clarification: "Gonna" can replace "going to" to express future action as in "I'm gonna leave tomorrow." "Gonna" never replaces "going to" in the present progressive as in "I'm going to the store." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going-to_future
I wanna improve my english speaking skill and understand it more deeply. I gotta learn english by using this lectures. I shoulda used this lectures more early for english studying.
very nice teacher this is the 20th video I watch..... come on people , we know these are slangs ,,but that's the way native speakers speak , there's nothing wrong in learning all this. Ronny you're the best ....
Nice! This is a great lesson. This should definitely help people sound more like native speakers. All of us English speakers are so lazy when we talk, it's true, lol. I should mention, though... that while "lotsa" has the same meaning as "a lot of", it's actually a derivative of "lots of" (which is proper English and something you could see written, formally). The colloquial version of "a lot of" would be something like "a lotta", which is very common in native English. Some example sentences: "That's a lotta money!" "You've got a lotta nerve!" "You're putting me under a lotta stress!" "There's a lotta movies to choose from."
La mejor profesora de inglés que he visto pues nos enseña las palabras reales que se hablan en EEUU y Canadá como son como las habla un nativo en la calle en la ciudad sin tanto rollo es la mejor profesora de inglés la amo con ella he aprendido mucho más que en la escuela de idiomas tiene una pedagogía que cualquier persona puede entender e incluso aunque habló español le entiendo el listening nos habla de todo sin omitir nada ojalá y profesores tan excelentes como ella dieran clases así de magistrales tedot las gracias porque gracias a ti he sabido amar el inglés y comprenderlo pero sobretodo escucharlo hablarlo y aprender más gracias hermosa mujer
As a native English speaker, I never use the words on the right(always could have, should have, would have) but they are common in very casual speech or less educated speakers. However the words on the left(besides hafta which I think also is not common among educated speakers) are used super commonly. Great video!
U have solved my problem mam thank u so much I wanted to learn english but not interested. But now I watch ur video and listen to u. I m interested just because of ur good nature and nice method thank u once again .
I don't think it is entirely important to sound like a native speaker. The most important thing is to sound natural, clear and get your point across. Every country has its own accent doesn't make it incorrect. The idea is to communicate and that should be our focus.
Yeah, you are right, although people in English speaker countries won't speak like a robo or like they write. So if we want to communicate with them we also need to know what they are saying or what they mean when they're talking naturally.
In all of these instances, the "a" at the ends of the words is really the English schwa sound. She also forgot: useta (pronounced *yoos*-ta) = used to. I used to be a child. I useta be a child.
one of greatest teacher i ever see on youtube channel and i also love ur method .. during lesson ... its not gonna boring for us .. and also i learnd losta from her channel .. tnx
I know! just I have many foreign friends from USA or somewhere english-speaking world that speaking really fast and use many jargons, So...I NEED to learn this to understand them!
Oh! mmmm... The word water. Have you ever heard how someone pronounces this word something like " a wooaa "? Would you accept for yourself this way of the pronunciation of this word as they do, just for a sake of learning a common street english slang ? That all depend of the level of life.. Isn't it? Don't know if I'm allowed to do this.. Anyway I wouldn't blame anyone or teach .., because I only start to learn english myself. However I would tell you my own opinion how i think is better to learn any language. I think we have to do it with a respect, for instance from the begining we ought to learn a proper, literature language. And then in life.. by using the skill of normal talk with native english, we may to learn some of this words in natural way. It's seems to me to funny when someone is mooing in English or mumbles , and at the same time mixing their "speach " with a street slang. What about the words which are represented here. I beleive, that the way how peopel started pronounce them, came as a result of a fast talk, and because the new generation don't want to (dontwanna) bother themselves with the correct pronunciation. In addition.. I have to admit to learn a slang and even a swear words is much easier than a normal words .. All this rubbish... it's irremovable and it is really stucking in our heads..
for the first time i heard the word "hafta" . bfore this i just heard that 3 word except hafta and when you translate the meaning , and now i know how to use the word . thankyou for your teaching , i appreciate that you have done for me . sorry if my english can't understood because i'm still practice and improve my english . thankyouu :)
Yeah, they mean the same thing. "I have a test tomorrow, I gotta study." Can also be said "I have a test tomorrow, I hafta study.". Some people think "I have got to" is incorrect because you are using more words to simply say "I have to", but you hear "I've got to" just as much as "I have to", and their shorter versions. You could say that maybe "I've got to " can be used for something slightly more urgent. Like "I've got to go to the doctor, this wound is getting really bad." But basically they are the same.
Marley robertson thanks a lot.. I know now, but how about the use 'much' in your sentence, "you hear "I've got to" just as MUCH as "I have to" ... personally I tend to use 'many', am I incorrect? Anyway thanks for your explanation.
Yeah, in that case you have to use "much". To use many I would have to say something like ---I hear "I've got to" just as many times as I hear "I have to". Otherwise it has to be "much". I see Susan just as much as I see Jim. I work just as much as John does. I eat just as much as Brian eats. and so on. I believe it's because it's an uncountable amount I'm referring to. PS. yeah I just looked it up, many is used for an uncountable amount, much is used for countable. So when I said "many times" -- times is countable. Like "5 times" or" 20 times".
Soon the whole world will be 'stalk Strine.' (talk Australian) If ya wanna stalk Strine ya gotta go to Austraya by Sad dee. You can buy y'self a gloria soame. (glorious home), but you need to put your name on a list in afabek lauder. (alphabetical order). It is better to learn to speak clearly.
The public proverb says : if you in rom you would have to behave their behavior . Therefore , we've to learn any thing makes the communication easier , and please don't forget that the language is the strong weapon indeed . Thank you so much indeed , Ms . Ronnie teaching us through out this long time .
i love watching these and i'm a native English speaker, it's so neat to see it explained like this since I take all this for granted. i can see how English can be so hard to learn!!!!!! good job!

I studied English at school, but I didn't think that everything had changed so much, and the teachers didn't give me what I needed)))
I've will always be followed by a past participle verb.

Excellent class Ronnie
One minor clarification: "Gonna" can replace "going to" to express future action as in "I'm gonna leave tomorrow."
"Gonna" never replaces "going to" in the present progressive as in "I'm going to the store."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going-to_future
Then i think we can say like I am gonna go to the market
............................,
I really like her!!!...such a cheerful and helpful teacher!!!
I wanna improve my english speaking skill and understand it more deeply. I gotta learn english by using this lectures. I shoulda used this lectures more early for english studying.

This should definitely help people sound more like native speakers.

''Gotta'' is more easy than ''i have got to'') it's a wonderfull invention))
Arti Shock More easy/easier is correct, remember comparatives! Greetings. :))

In all of these instances, the "a" at the ends of the words is really the English schwa sound.
She also forgot: useta (pronounced *yoos*-ta) = used to.
I used to be a child.
I useta be a child.
I love her explanations, she is clear and funny, her classes are interesting and I laucha and enjoy them 💖👍
''hafta'' means ''week'' in Turkish ;)))
She isn't teaching about Turkish ,
Yes, same in Urdu language
I fancy this teaching ... she is best teacher .
In Philippines, "musta" means "How are you?"
or
how are ya?
+Liev Uy ahahhahh casuality
mustaka right?
+Liev Uy lol
in Persian(Farsi), "Must" means "yogurt" (i'm not iranian I've only lived for around 8 years with them and I just learned their language properly).
one of greatest teacher i ever see on youtube channel and i also love ur method .. during lesson ... its not gonna boring for us .. and also i learnd losta from her channel .. tnx

I think you forgot "IMMA" "OUGHTA" and.. anything else?
"I'ma" is african american english
You're antes excelente teacher. You speak very clearly and like the way you develop the grammar points.
Doesn't 'lotsa' stand for 'lots of'?
Then what's meaning for lotsa
you are one of the good and beautiful teachers in the hole world . i like you
Wuao, I haven't listened about "hafta" xD , I gonna add it to my vocabulary.
