This is often true with words where the T occurs in the middle of the word and between two vowels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Combining words:<\/strong> Natives are lazy when they talk. Whatever is quickest to form in our mouths is the way we say it. Instead of saying, &#8220;what did you do last weekend&#8221; instead a native would say, &#8220;Whad-j-ya-do last weekend?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rule of insertion:<\/strong> We put the &#8220;Y&#8221; or &#8220;W&#8221; sound in between two vowel sounds. We do this between two words like &#8220;I agree&#8221; becomes &#8220;I-ya-agree&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to build the skills that you need to understand natives you can join our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/connection\">Bridge to Connection Method course.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We take you across the US and introduce you to native speakers all around the country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/connection\">Click here<\/a> to get into the course now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today find out how to finally be able to understand natives when they speak fast by knowing what to listen for.
