Yes, you can master English pronunciation!
Way back in Episode #7, Tim introduced you to the chewing gum accent, where native and very advanced speakers of English pronounce common words and phrases in ways that barely resemble their written forms. Some of these pronunciations are ones that you already know, for example “gonna” instead of the more book-like, correct form “going to” or “prolly” instead of the full form “probably”.
Three surprising facts:
1. English speakers don’t speak fast- instead they smash spoken words and phrases together
2. Most words and phrases in English have chewing gum pronunciations
3. Each word and phrase has a spectrum of pronunciations rather than just one or two pronunciations
Listen to Episode #18 to hear real-life examples of chewing gum pronunciation so you can start to master English listening.
