| 0:07 | Hello. I'm Sammy |
| 0:08 | and this is part two of the connected speech series. |
| 0:13 | Connected speech is used when you're speaking quickly and casually |
| 0:17 | and it can help your American English sound more natural. |
| 0:22 | Today, we'll be discussing informal contractions. |
| 0:27 | Can you hear the differences between the formal and casual sentences below? |
| 0:33 | Formal |
| 0:35 | I'm going to eat cake. |
| 0:37 | Casual |
| 0:39 | I'm gonna eat cake. |
| 0:42 | Do you want to go? |
| 0:45 | Do you wanna go? |
| 0:47 | I have to do homework. |
| 0:51 | I hafta do homework. |
| 0:53 | In the following story, pay attention to the underlined words |
| 0:58 | and see if you can hear the informal contractions. |
| 1:03 | I wanna surprise my sister for her birthday. |
| 1:07 | So I've gotta buy her a present. |
| 1:11 | I'm gonna hafta go to the mall. |
| 1:15 | I coulda gotten her a dog, but she already has a cat. |
| 1:20 | I woulda bought her a car, but it's too expensive. |
| 1:25 | Instead, I am gonna make her a big birthday cake. |
| 1:30 | Phrases like "gonna," "wanna," "hafta" are called informal contractions. |
| 1:36 | They are often used in casual spoken American English |
| 1:41 | but not in written English. |
| 1:43 | They are formed by combining words to shorten them |
| 1:47 | from their original form. |
| 1:49 | Practicing these can help you sound more natural |
| 1:52 | and become better at understanding fast casual speech. |
| 1:57 | Here are some examples of informal contractions with "to." |
| 2:03 | "Going to" becomes "gonna." |
| 2:06 | "want to" "wanna" |
| 2:09 | "have to" "hafta" |
| 2:12 | "got to" "gotta" |
| 2:14 | "ought to" "oughtta" |
| 2:17 | There are also examples with modal verbs plus "have." |
| 2:22 | such as "should have" becoming "shoulda" |
| 2:28 | "would have" "woulda" |
| 2:30 | "could have" "coulda" |
| 2:32 | "might have" "mighta" |
| 2:36 | Let's practice. |
| 2:37 | In the following story, try to pronounce the underlined phrases |
| 2:42 | using informal contractions. |
| 2:45 | Press pause at each page to practice at your own pace. |
| 3:15 | I wanna surprise my sister for her birthday, so I've gotta buy her a present. |
| 3:22 | I'm gonna hafta go to the mall. |
| 3:25 | I coulda gotten her a dog, but she already has a cat. |
| 3:30 | I woulda bought her a car, but it's too expensive. |
| 3:35 | Instead, I'm gonna make her a big birthday cake. |
