903 - Sunday Speak - Use "I Dunno" To Sound More Natural

Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. I’m here every Sunday with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally.Now, one of the most common phrases in English is “I don’t know.” But in everyday conversation, most native speakers don’t pronounce each word clearly like that. Instead, we usually say “I dunno.” (“EYE-duh-NO”) That’s right — I don’t know becomes I dunno. It’s just a natural sound change that happens when we speak quickly. “Who’s coming to the party?” → “I dunno.” “What time does the movie start?” → “Eh, I dunno.” “I’m gonna ask Tom where Jenny is” → “He dunno.” The meaning doesn’t change — it’s just faster, smoother, and more natural. So next time you want to say I don’t know, try saying I dunno. It’ll make your English sound more relaxed and more natural.Thanks for listening.
