  • Summary

  • THE CHEWING GUM ACCENT
    You understand your English teacher in the classroom, and maybe the BBC. But what about English spoken by native speakers in the real world, or in movies and on TV? That's a lot more difficult- in those situations, native speakers speak more quickly. But HOW are they able to speak so quickly? The answer is- they change the pronunciation of words and phrases so that they are easier to say. Sounds change, mix and even disappear. It's not magic- it's rules.
    In Episode 102, Tim returns to the topic of these real world pronunciations, called CHEWING GUM pronunciation, and gives you the basics needed to understand them, and future episodes on the same topic.
