Didja Know About This? A Tip to Better Understand Native English Questions

Wouldja like to know more about how native English speakers combine and reduce words, especially in questions? Oh you're gonna love this lesson! Some funny things happen when Ts and Ds pair up with "you" and "your."  

Be sure to grab the FREE Help with Understanding Native English Questions practice PDF!

Key Takeaways:

1) Lots of times, when a word ends in T and the next word begins with Y, the sounds blending together will sound like CH.

2) Similarly, many times when a word ends and D and the next word begins with Y, the sounds blending together will sound like J.

3) This sound-blending phenomenon plus the reduction of "you" and "your" to "ya" and "yer" makes for some interesting combinations, especially when native speakers ask questions!
