Hi Annemarie. you´re a really efficient teacher! you´re right there, it´s almost impossible to grasp what fast speakers say, it´s so frustrating. however, I´m mirroring and shadowing whole sentences. hopefully I´ll be able to improve my listening and communicating with others. what I find a bit tricky is to pronounce the schwa sound and recognize it in between stressed syllables. especially, because my mother tongue tends to be a little bit flatter. now again, thanks a miilion!
Thanks so much for the comment, Maria Jesus. The schwa is certainly a tricky sound. And the good news is I have a lesson coming up on this topic in the months ahead. Keep an eye out for it. 😊
Thanks for the comment and question. My focus in this lesson is certainly American English as there may be differences among English dialects. But reductions are certainly common among all English speakers.
Hi Annemarie, I've always enjoyed watching your videos and thank you so much for summarising the common reductions, which is really helpful. In regard to the reduction with "of", you referred to the case when "of" follows a word that ends in a consonant. Would the reduction sound be different if "of" follows a word that ends in a vowel, for example, some of? Thank you.
Hi Lynn, thanks for the question. Rather than think of the actual letter ending a word, it's better to think of the sound. The word "some" ends with an /m/ sound. I hope this helps.
I'm lucky because I've never struggled with understanding the native English speakers when they speak. However, I never paid attention to reductions hence one can notice that I don't sound like them.Because of the advantages that good accent comes with, I've decided to immerse myself in improving on that area. ❤
Great, teacher! It's really an excellent class. Congratulations for such a good work helping all the subscribers of the SPEAK CONFIDENT ENGLISH channel to develop their English language.

My amazing teacher while speaking English people don't understand me coz i often use connected speach but it's means that I'm gonna give it up?

Hi Annemarie, thank you for your videos. They are very helpful. Are those reductions only in American English?
Thanks for the comment and question. My focus in this lesson is certainly American English as there may be differences among English dialects. But reductions are certainly common among all English speakers.

Assimilation and reduction

Thanks for the question. I don't have a workbook on assimilation/reduction available at this time.
