hi I'm junior kioto I'd like to request a video on the word "to" I already know it's pronounced like too, tuh and duh in American English... the thing is sometimes I hear native speakers pronouncing "to" like "uh" when it comes after the m and n sounds... for example: "I'm gonna tell you when to hold it". I hear " Imuna tell yuh whenuh hold it " .. Am I right? Does that happen? Can "When to" be reduced to "whenuh" thanks
I grew up in Canada and we could also add to that list the stop "t" in words like mountain, gotten, important, mitten, kitten etc. That sound is very Norh American.

@@kioto_oliver You're right about that. I'm gonna does sound like I'muna. We use a lot of reductions in spoken English. For instance, if I say : I'm gonna go there tomorrow, it sounds like: I'muna go there damorrow. Usually when a t comes between an "n" and a vowel sound it is not pronounced. So internet is pronounced "internet" or twenty sounds like twenty and many others.
This is very excellent lesson from english master. If we do not want misunderstood in speaking , when travel to UK use Brits English n when travel to US we hv to use American English, so the is no word like " misunderstood" anymore Thks so much I love this lesson very much.Keep up the great work 💕💕👍👍👍
The whole point of talking is to make other people understand you. So it doesn't really matter if they think you sound weird, so long as they understand you.
I'm from the UK and a fluent English speaker, but I'm actually using your channel to improve my US accent for voiceover. Not what you've started the channel for I think, but VERY helpful nonetheless. So, thank very much. 🙂🙂
Such wholesome content. Fully endorse this. I have no idea how I ended up on this video, but WHAT a refreshing break from the scourge that is the modern internet. You go Glen Coco
You are very helpful, after watching and listening to this , I had to call my American friend just to practice what I’ve learned. God bless your effort!
exactly ! fluidity and understandability are what i'm aiming for. Doesn't matter if people ask me which country I'm from and not which state I'm from, when my sister speaks english she's lucky enough to be asked that question.
I was born and live in indonesia but having worked for 20 years on board the cruiship this allows me to easily recognise the variaty of accent.eventhough i till have my own accent of indonesia
I was listening to the Stephen Colbert show tonight with Julia Roberts. Mr. Colbert said that it was understood that, if you have a southern accent you are not smart. Google talked about the educational level between the north and south. I was shocked.
Thanks so much Wes for this excellent hacks for non native speaker. I really enjoyed this lesson n I really appreciate yr time n yr hard work to do this. I'm looking forward to the next vid 👍👍👍❤
I use WANNA and GONNA in my written English when me and my friends talk on WhatsApp and no one ever tells me I should not be doing that. Moreover, they use it too. They are native Americans.
Very informal writing like SMS messages is fine. I know some people who mostly communicate with emojis. But it should be avoided when writing anything in a more professional context. 👍

Hi, yes, this is an extraordinary video I agree with you but it extends by using flat T it's not negligent to use a reduction, and flat t is snug and a bug getting seamless like music I'm Indian I've watched many interviews to some of Bollywood actors they always speaking fully pronounce its sound as robotic and I've watched plenty of interviews, American actors, I like a lot that blew me away thank for making this beautiful video.

@@InteractiveEng I am an English teacher from Kurdistan region of Iraq. Let's do a project together. But how can i contact with you to talk about the project ? Any email?
I say AD-ver-tize-ment with the stress on AD. Maybe a minor stress on "tize" . I think the British pronunciation of advertisement comes from the French "advertissement". The French would put the stress on "tisse".
I don't know why, but you recall me Jack Tripper, that actor in that sitcom sharing an apartment with girls.. an old sitcom of the 80s.. Anyway I find very informative your videos.. Thank you
For me no pronunciation is better than American, it sounds like music to my ears. Even though I've had the opportunity to listen to people from different English speaking countries and have been taught by teachers either from Britain or the United States.
Hi,your videos are very useful!I am an English teacher and I want you share eith me one good grammar book for teachers where I can find it anywhere.Thanks in advance!)

@@kioto_oliver In this case, I think most would pronounce it "whenduh hold it" because the final N and starting T assimilate to form that D sound. 👍

yes
I grew up in Canada and we could also add to that list the stop "t" in words like mountain, gotten, important, mitten, kitten etc. That sound is very Norh American.

"I'm gonna go" can be further reduced by dropping the hard g, to sound like áhmana go or áimana go. Also, "for" is often pronounced fur.
