Transcript: Are you looking to improve your English pronunciation? Would you like to sound more natural and like a native speaker when you talk? Well this video will help you to do exactly that. In this lesson, I'm going to teach you 10 English words that are used very commonly in everyday conversation. These are key to both speaking fluently and sounding like a native speaker when you talk. So what are these ten words? They are gonna, wanna, hafta and gotta, kinda, gimme, lemme, cuz, shoulda coulda and woulda. I'll show you how to say all of these correctly. There are important grammar notes and bonus words at the end so make sure to watch the full video. Now, a quick note before we start: just remember that these spellings are only for understanding the pronunciation. When you write, please do not write these spellings. Write the full forms (like going to). Alright so let's start with the first word - gonna. Gonna is a reduction of going to and it's used when we talk about the future. Notice that it's not /'go.nə/. It's pronounced /'gə.nə/. Here are some sentences. Practice saying them after me. I'm gonna buy a car. What are you gonna eat? I think it's gonna rain soon. OK, let's move on to number two - 'wanna;. This is a reduction of want to. I wanna see a movie tonight. Do you wanna come with us? The children wanna play outside. If the subject of a sentence is he/she/it or any singular noun, we add 's' to the verb want and it becomes wants to. This can be reduced to wantsta. He wants to leave. She wants to see you. Number three is hafta. This is a reduction of have to. We say hafta because it's easier to say that way. I hafta go now. You hafta wait for me. We hafta pay for the meal. If the subject is he/she/it or a singular noun, we use has to which is reduced to hasta. He hasta do his homework. She hasta work tomorrow. In English, have to and has to can also be expressed as have got to or has got to and they mean the same thing. Got to can be reduced to gotta so you can say I've gotta go now. You've gotta wait for me. We've gotta pay for the meal. He's gotta do his homework. She's gotta work tomorrow. Let's move on to number four - kinda. This is kind of and it means type of. There's some kinda problem with my phone. But it can also be used to express something negative politely. This movie is kinda boring. She's kinda rude. This room is kinda dirty. Number five is gimme. This is a reduction of give me. Could you gimme a ride home? Gimme a second. I'll be right with you. Can you gimme change for 10 dollars? A related word is lemme which is a reduction of let me. Lemme help you with that. Lemme know if you need anything. Lemme get back to you on that. Let's move on to number seven - cuz. This is a reduction of the word because. We missed the train cuz we were late. Ben got fired cuz he yelled at his boss. I'm not gonna eat anything cuz I'm not hungry. Next up is shoulda. This is basically should have. You shoulda studied more for your exam. I shoulda brought more money. i shouldna quit my job. You shouldna eaten that pizza. Number nine is coulda which is a reduction of could have. He coulda bought Jane a birthday present. They coulda called us before coming. I couldna done it without your help. She couldna called me because she doesn't have my number. And finally number ten is woulda which is a reduction of would have. If I had known it was going to rain I woulda brought my umbrella. Liz woulda gotten the promotion if she had worked harder. I wouldna gotten so angry if you had told me the truth. If you had been driving more carefully you wouldna had the accident. OK now that you've practiced saying the words let's look at a couple of important grammar notes relating to them. All of the forms that you just learned are informal expressions meaning that it's not a good idea to use them in formal situations for example when you talk to your boss at work or when you're giving a speech In those cases use the full forms. Also you should never use these in writing When you write use the correct spelling going to, want to etc. But the good news is that you can use these reductions in all other speaking situations and they will help you to sound more like a native speaker of English. Grammar point number two relates to gonna. In the sentence I'm gonna buy a car notice that there is a main verb - that is an action - buy. So going to or gonna just acts as a helping verb to show that we are talking about the future. But have a look at these sentences - I'm going to California next week. Are you going to the party on Saturday? In both of these sentences going is the main verb.
