Perfect your American English Rhythm: Pronoun Reductions

Have you ever heard this before? "Izzy busy?"
Huh? What does "izzy" mean?
"Izzy" = "Is he." This is another example of reductions in spoken English - and in this example, it's a pronoun reduction. "He" reduced to "ee".
In this video, you'll learn how to perfect your American English rhythm with pronoun reductions! The pronouns him, her, them, his, and him often reduce, which means the initial consonant is often dropped in spoken English. Learn how to reduce pronouns in this video, and practice with me at the end!

You're the best expert on American English pronunciation I've ever met on video. I can tell you this because I was trained in English pronunciation, flow, rhythm and the like by a native speaker of English who sounded very smoothly, speaking very smoothly. He became my role model. And you have become a role model for many people as well. Thnks so much for your super remarkable work. Keep it up and God bless you in these troublesome tomes

Thanks Julie for this informative video. Personally, I have been using these reductions for a long time, but now I understand much better why is done and how is done. I always find your videos highly enlightening because there is always something new to learn about English. Thank you again, you’re the best instructor ever!!!

[@DawnPeacock]

Clear and helpful as always! I like your work, Julie ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Bluebird-wj4nj]

I just found your video on UA-cam accidentally and am sooo happy with it .. I been actually looking for someone teach me vowl sounds ... thank you so much 💓 💗

[@tinhhoahoitu]

Thank you very so much! I think that is difficult when i heard “took him” and “took them” because they’re the same. I speak English not very well, but i really love your channel!

[@ramzy-6566]

Thank you Miss Julie.

[@vadimdev3926]

hello, can any one explain me whats going on with "the" in the example "will you meet us at the restaraunt"? Sounds like "... us at restaraunt", and its very usual when I don't hear "the" in American speech

[@b.k8921]

So in the sentence "Will he meet us at the restaurant" you reduce h in he?

[@geraldosimoes8875]

¡Gracias!

[@user-el3cz6tw4b]

Thank you.

[@tr3buh]

I wonder how word "our" is reduced in connected speech?

[@qx4663]

Are you saying tooGum when you say took him?

[@josephang9927]

We need to invent new contractions, such as "Took'im" for "took him" 😅
