Are you trying to pronounce each word clearly and perfectly when you speak English? In this English lesson, we explain that native English speakers use reductions, which are sounds that change or disappear when spoken at normal speed. Learn and practice common reductions to improve your American accent and how to speak English more naturally.

Natural spoken English contains reductions – those are sounds that change and disappear when spoken at normal speed. This sometimes makes it hard for English learners to understand.
