Description

You want to master English listening, but native speakers talk REALLY quickly. What if you could learn to understand them AND also speak more like a native at the same time?
If you want to improve your English listening, then you need to learn the rules of how native speakers really pronounce words. Native speakers do speak quickly, but they also change sounds, mix sounds, and even make sounds (and whole words!) disappear! The good news is that it's not magic- it's rules, and as an English student, you've learned rules before. And you can do it again to improve your English listening. It really is possible to master English listening.
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.
