  • Hello! I’m John Russell.
    Imagine you are walking through a thick jungle. You might want to use something - such as a machete or an axe - to cut a path.
    Casual speech in American English is in some ways like our trip in the jungle. I’ll explain.
    We use casual speech in everyday conversations with our friends or people we meet. In these situations, we are sometimes less careful about how we pronounce words and how we use grammar.
    This is where the machete comes in. Just like we use a machete to make our way quicker through a jungle, so too, do we cut out words and sounds to make our way through conversations quicker.
    For example:
    Do you want to go?
    In casual speech, we might say
    Wanna go?
    The auxiliary verb “do” was cut out, as was the word “to.” Then I combined some of the leftovers.
    Do you want to go?
    Wanna go?
    We also cut out some consonants or syllables of common words.
    For example,
    “Probably” becomes something like this: “probly”
    Probably --- probly
    Or
    “Remember” becomes something like this: “member”
    Remember --- member
    When you listen to Americans speak and you have trouble understanding, ask yourself: What are they cutting out?
    We will explore some of the most common ways Americans cut out words and sounds in future videos.
    That’s all for today. Keep up the good work!
