Unit 4 – Mashups (Phrase Reductions)

Hello, and welcome to Unit number 4 For ten days or more, you have been practicing the music of English, the rhythm, the pitch, and the volume Now let's talk about another very important part of speaking English well Having that great natural accent Now there's a problem In school you did not learn real English, unfortunately I know, because I used to teach in schools, and I know how they teach you to speak, and it's not natural, it's not real English See in most programs in schools and in textbooks, they teach you to speak word by word To carefully pronounce every word, which might make you sound like a British actor, (laughs) but it's not natural, it sounds quite strange

The truth is, in natural real conversations, we often combine words, we push two words, or sometimes even three words together, and we say them like one word I call these mash-ups

To mash it press something together, so that's my name, I call them mash-ups The technical name is phrase reductions, but let's just call them mash-ups, it's more fun, it sounds more natural

Let me give you an example If you pronounce word by word you would say, what do you want to do? What do you want to do? But almost no American will actually say that What will they actually say if they're speaking naturally and quickly? They'll say, whatdya wanna do? Whatdya wanna do?

And this confuses (laughs) a lot of English learners because they learned, what do you want to do? And when they hear the real phrase, the real pronunciation that most people use, they don't understand what people are saying, it sounds weird, whatdya wanna do?

Whatdya is a mash-up, or a phrase reduction It's, it's a few words pushed together

Whatdya means, what do you, what do you But when we speak fast, we push them all together, we say, whatdya And want to, if we say it fast we say, wanna

So whatdya wanna, what do you want to

There are a lot of these in English, and I'm going to just right now, I'm go-, I've got a list right here on a piece of paper, and I'm just gonna teach you a lot of the most common ones I'm just gonna go down the list, and I'll teach you the mash-up, and then I'll tell you what it means, what the actual individual words are And then in the training audio, you'll be practicing these again, and again, again for five days Let's start with a very common one, gonna, gonna
