Fast Speech Contractions in English

In everyday spoken English, native speakers often use fast speech contractions, which make conversations sound more natural and fluent. In this video, we demonstrate how to transform regular phrases into these shortened forms that are commonly used in fast-paced speech.

For instance, instead of saying “Did you know?”, you would say “Didja know?” Similarly, “Did you hear?” becomes “Didja hear?”, and “What did he?” is shortened to “Whadidi.” We also show how “Did you get it?” becomes “Didje getit,” and “Did she see?” turns into “Dishe see.”

By mastering these fast speech contractions, you’ll be able to sound more like a native speaker and improve your listening and speaking skills. These contractions are used in casual conversations, so understanding them will help you follow discussions more easily and express yourself more naturally. Watch this video to practice these common contractions, and soon you’ll be speaking more fluently and confidently in everyday English conversations.
