hi again it's Jen at Learn English with
0:08
B Global and today we're going to learn
0:11
about how to speak English
0:14
fast okay so how do we go from a normal
0:19
English phrase to a faster informal
0:23
contraction let's take a sample okay a
0:26
normal English phrase is going
0:29
to the faster informal contraction is
0:34
going to going to get smashed together
0:39
contracted together turns into gonna
0:42
going to get rid of the to get rid of
0:46
the g gonna going to okay that's how
0:49
that works if you listen to popular
0:52
music you hear this a lot gonna I'm
0:56
gonna do this i'm gonna do that here's a
0:59
very common
1:05
example taylor Swift was kind
1:08
enough to sing the song Shake It Off a
1:12
big part of her song uses our informal
1:17
contraction because the players gonna
1:21
play play and the haters going to hate
1:24
hate hate baby I'm just going to shake
1:28
shake shake shake it off right
1:31
so what she's trying to say is the
1:34
players are going to play the haters are
1:37
going to hate and she's just going to
1:40
shake it off and you should too
1:43
apparently so going to turns into gonna
1:48
if you know this song you're already
1:51
speaking English fast good for you how
1:55
about another example okay how do we get
1:58
to wanna want to get some
2:01
coffee well let's start with the
2:04
original
2:05
phrase do you want to that's the normal
2:09
phrase right then faster you wanna so
2:15
gotten rid of the two right gotten rid
2:18
of the do we'll talk about that do you
2:21
want to you wanna and then it goes to
2:24
wanna fastest wanna
2:29
wanna get something to drink right so
2:35
the same rule applies right if gonna
2:38
comes from a shortened version of going
2:41
to you wanna or wanna comes from a
2:44
shortened version of do you want to
2:47
right so sometimes English speakers will
2:51
omit the question word
2:55
do
2:56
and just raise their uh voice at the end
3:00
of the sentence to signal that it's a
3:02
question you wanna right you want to go
3:06
see a
3:07
movie that's a shortened version of do
3:10
you want to go see a movie
3:13
uh you can also use wanna in the First
3:18
person I wanna right uh I want to get
3:23
ice cream that's short for I want to get
3:27
ice cream so let's look at a little bit
3:29
different informal contraction okay this
3:32
one is
3:34
gimme now the original form of gimme is
3:39
would you give me and even more
3:43
shortened is give me and then finally
3:47
the fast way to say it give
3:51
me if you want help from
3:53
someone you might say it formally would
3:57
you give me a hand meaning can you give
4:02
me some
4:04
help but the fast way we would say it is
4:09
give me a
4:10
hand give me some help right
4:14
so normal would you give
4:17
me shortened even more faster give me
4:22
the fastest what you will commonly hear
4:25
give me give me now I hope this doesn't
4:29
happen to you but if a scary person
4:32
comes up to you and says give me your
4:35
money well you're being robbed right so
4:39
the robber is not going to say give me
4:42
your money he or she is going to quickly
4:46
say "Give me your
4:47
money." So another informal contraction
4:51
we use is did you now what does did you
4:55
sound like to you did
4:58
you well you're probably guessing did
5:02
you right it's just a match together
5:04
form of did you uh we say this quite a
5:09
bit did you know did you know right and
5:14
we we use the J sound because the D
5:19
makes it easier to turn this the U into
5:22
a J sound just did you okay so we just
5:26
kind of drop that Y sound totally all
5:30
right so we will say did you know or did
5:36
you hear that if you hear something that
5:39
makes you nervous you don't say say
5:42
slowly "Did you hear that?" You say "Did
5:47
you hear that?" You say it fast right so
5:50
that's what this stands for did you did
5:52
you hear that now you can also use this
5:57
phrase in the present tense this
5:59
shortened version
6:01
so
6:03
do you
6:08
changes
6:10
to
6:12
do do
6:14
you uh so there's no D at the end of
6:18
this one so we're able to keep the Y
6:20
sound do you uh do you want to talk we
6:24
might say that instead of do you want to
6:27
talk do you want to talk now there's
6:29
another phrase that is similar to this
6:33
and it is would you can you can you
6:39
imagine
6:42
what would
6:45
you a contraction
6:49
of it is
6:53
would
6:55
you so would you the D at the end right
7:02
our D here again turns the Y sound into
7:06
a J so would you
7:10
um would you would you go to the bank
7:15
for me would you let me borrow your car
7:18
would you let me borrow your car so you
7:21
can see how these will uh move quickly
7:25
into just a a a whole new
7:28
word so we learned about would you would
7:32
you like me to come short that's the
7:35
short form of would you like me to come
7:39
or would you get my phone would you give
7:43
me your phone or would you would you
7:44
give me my
7:45
phone and
7:48
again with would you you can do the
7:52
same with the present tense will you
7:56
turns into will you will
8:03
you for example if you want to know if
8:07
your friend gets home okay you can say
8:11
"Will you give me a call?" when you get
8:13
home will you give me a call that's
8:16
shortened for will you give me a call
8:20
right so would you and will
8:26
you now the next
8:28
one we'll look
8:30
at is what
8:33
you watch what you
8:37
so it's in the same kind of area of
8:41
using the the word you at the end right
8:46
so this shortened phrase can incorporate
8:49
three different
8:51
verbs
8:52
are
8:54
have and do okay so we'll start with are
8:59
the the shortened phrase whatcha begins
9:03
with what are you okay then
9:08
faster what are you what are you so that
9:11
can be a shortened phrase as well an
9:13
informal
9:15
contraction the fastest one you'll hear
9:18
though is
9:20
what so uh
9:25
the the cha comes from the t sound do do
9:29
you hear that whatcha so we're just
9:32
dropping the u dropping the r
9:36
just whatcha
9:40
u turns into cha okay
9:46
so what are you going to do what you
9:50
going to
9:51
do what you going to do then what you
9:55
going to do for example you find out
9:58
your friend failed the
10:01
class you would say you might say "What
10:05
you going to do?"
10:07
In other words what will you do
10:10
now so I mentioned that the informal
10:14
contraction what you it incorporates
10:19
three verbs it can incorporate three
10:21
verbs
10:23
are do and
10:26
have now we looked at are and now we're
10:30
going to look at do so you start off
10:33
with the normal phrase what do you or
10:37
what did you you can use the present
10:40
tense or the past tense for to
10:44
ultimately end up with what you so what
10:48
do
10:49
you faster would you would you and then
10:55
what you what you
11:00
so for example what do you know
11:05
becomes what do you know what you know
11:09
what do you know what you know or or you
11:13
can also say what did you say What' you
11:18
say what' you say what' you say i didn't
11:21
hear you what' you say now I would I
11:25
would
11:25
really not
11:27
recommend saying what you say ever to a
11:31
professor or a boss anyone in
11:35
authority so what you say save that for
11:39
your friends okay but so this is an
11:42
example of using the verb
11:45
do in the phrase
11:49
whatcha well now let's look at how the
11:53
verb have is incorporated into the
11:58
informal
12:02
contraction so the formal way we would
12:05
say is what have you dot dot
12:09
dot the compressed way the mash together
12:13
way faster what of you what have you
12:18
what of you fastest what you but what I
12:22
want to tell you is that there are just
12:24
a couple more phrases that I think you
12:27
should know and the phrase we're going
12:29
to talk about now is gota gota
12:33
So gota is like got and two got married
12:38
they had a baby and had gota we say this
12:42
all the time gota all right and uh
12:47
commercials are always
12:49
saying you got to have this you got to
12:53
have this or you got to try this you got
12:56
to try this the formal way to say
12:59
something like got it would be you have
13:03
got to blank okay uh a way that you will
13:08
hear this a lot
13:10
is got to go i got to go or I got to run
13:16
so if someone's in a hurry they don't
13:19
have time to say I have to go they just
13:23
say ah I got to go i'm late for class or
13:27
I'm late for
13:28
work well you're ready for our next two
13:31
informal
13:33
contractions they are kind of and sort
13:37
of now they really mean the same thing
13:41
so you're learning two informal
13:44
contractions that mean the same thing so
13:47
this is a good thing uh and again it is
13:50
just the combination kind of is a
13:54
combination of kind and of kind of kind
13:59
of sort of sort of so we drop off the
14:05
of and put in an a sound and it's just
14:09
quicker to say so an example might be
14:14
uh well in the original form an example
14:17
might be I kind of like
14:21
exercising or I sort of like
14:27
exercising but uh usually you'll hear
14:30
someone say I kind of like exercising i
14:34
sort of like exercising you don't hear
14:37
the of at all in that and what it's
14:39
communicating is I don't totally like
14:43
exercising or I don't love exercising i
14:46
kind of like it i sort of like it i just
