from Pronunciation Pro · host Annie Ruden M.S. CCC-SLP

In this episode of the Pronunciation Pro Podcast, Annie dives into one of the most challenging aspects of speaking English fluently: understanding and using common reductions. Many non-native speakers struggle with understanding native speakers because English speakers often drop sounds or blend words together. Annie explains why these reductions are so common in natural speech and breaks down several key reductions every learner should know. Tune in to learn how to incorporate these into your own speech and sound more like a native speaker in everyday conversations. If you’ve ever felt lost in a conversation with a native English speaker, this episode is a must-listen!
