Hello, it's Arianita. Are you tired of speaking slow in English? Well, in today's video, I'm going to teach you how to speak really fast. Native speakers speak fast without even thinking about it, especially in casual everyday conversations.

Today, we'll learn about reductions, and we want to use them most with friends and family. In more formal situations, like a job interview or a presentation, you'll probably use them less. But keep in mind, some reductions are so common that you'll hear them in professional settings, too.

How to Shorten Question Words
