  • Do you like to listen to music?

  • I like to listen to music.

  • And a really good way to learn English is by listening to music, because it'll help

  • you understand native speakers.

  • This lesson will help you do two things.

  • One, it will help you understand native speakers; and two, it will help you sound more natural

  • when you speak.

  • Probably the first thing that you want to do in the battle of English is to learn, first of all, listening;

  • and then, once you understand what I'm going to teach you, then you can

  • begin to speak like this.

  • But it is a process.

  • If you just begin speaking like this, it might sound strange for you, and your friends might

  • wonder what you're doing.

  • "Whatcha doin'?

  • Why ya talkin' like that?"

  • So, I'm going to teach you how we combine word or reduce words to sound more natural.

  • I feel like I'm in a commercial.

  • Do you want to reduce words and sound more natural?

  • Watch this lesson.

  • "Sound More Natural", by Ronnie.

  • Give me money.

  • So, basically, I've written words that end in "you"; so, we have: "get you", "got you",

  • "bet you"-this is hard for me to say-"don't you", "what are you", "want you".

  • But when we, as native speakers, say this, we don't say: "get you"; we say: "getcha".

  • Try.

  • "Getcha".

  • As an example sentence: "I'm gonna getcha!"

  • What's this word: "gonna"?

  • "Gonna" is another example of a very, very common reduction.

  • We don't say: "going to"; we say "gonna".

  • Listen: "I am going to get you" we don't say; we say: "I'm gonna get you."

  • Now, if your brain works like my brain, automatically you're going to think of songs and you're

  • going to start dancing.

  • So, yes, I will dance in this lesson.

  • "Got you" will become "gotcha".

  • This is funny, because "gotcha", when I was a child, is a slang word for underwear, so

  • we would do what's called the "gotcha pull"; it means you pull someone's underwear, like

  • a wedgie.

  • That was a bonus, okay?

  • You might hear people say: "I gotcha where I wantcha."

  • This is a song.

  • "I gotcha where I want you."

  • So, we're saying: "I have got you where I want you."

  • I think the police are coming and they're trying to get me.

  • The police are saying: "Hey, Ronnie.

  • I'm gonna getcha."

  • No, you're not; I'm going to escape.

  • The next one is: "bet you".

  • We say "betcha".

  • Do you like Pringles?

  • They're coming closer.

  • Hide.

  • Hide.

  • Do you like Pringles, the chips?

  • I think you have Pringles in your country.

  • In Canada, the can says: "Betcha can't eat just one."

  • So, what they're saying is: "I bet you...

  • I'll make you a deal that you cannot eat just one Pringles' chip."

  • Impossible.

  • I don't know about you, but when I eat Pringles, I don't just put one in my mouth; I probably

  • put, like, three, or four, or five; shove them all in your mouth.

  • What's your favourite Pringles' flavour?

  • I don't have a favourite flavour.

  • And I wonder what different Pringles' flavours you have in your countries that we don't have

  • in Canada.

  • We have BBQ, sour cream and onion, regular...

  • Who eats regular?

  • I eat some regular every once in a while.

  • "I betcha can't eat just one" means: I bet you can't.

  • Just eat one of them.

  • This is a really, really, really, really, really, really famous song that gets...

  • Always gets stuck in my head.

  • I don't like the song, but thank you, whoever wrote this stupid song.

  • It's the Pussycat Dolls.

  • Thank you for helping us learn English, Pussycat Dolls.

  • "Don't you".

  • So, the Pussycats say...

  • Oh, no.

  • No, I'm sor-...

  • Oh my god, I am sorry.

  • The Pussycat Dolls sing: "Dontcha wish your girlfriend was sexy, like me?

  • Dontcha?

  • Dontcha wish your girlfriend was sexy like me?"

  • So, the song that I've written on the board is better; maybe.

  • Yes.

  • Everything's better than the Pussycat Dolls.

  • "Dontcha want me baby?"

  • Now, I don't know who sings that song, but it's a good song.

  • Is it?

  • So, instead of saying: "Don't you", we say: "Dontcha".

  • "Dontcha want me baby?

  • Dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

  • Please, someone kill me.

  • I don't want to have to do this Pussycat Dolls thing again.

  • "Dontcha".

  • This one's fun: "What are you".

  • So, a really big problem that everyone has when you're beginning to learn English is

  • listening to native speakers.

  • So, maybe you study English in your home country; maybe you get to listen to CDs.

  • Do you have a CD player?

  • Or maybe you're listening to 8-tracks or tapes.

  • And you're listening to very, very scripted English.

  • "Scripted" means they speak like an actor or an actress, so they would say: "Get you",

  • "got you", "bet you", "don't you", "what are you".

  • Then you come to a country where English is the native language, and they say: "Whatcha".

  • And you look in your dictionary in your phone: "Whatcha", and you have no idea "whatcha"

  • means because it's not a word.

  • But guess what?

  • "Whatcha" means: What are you?

  • So, someone might say: "Hey.

  • Whatcha doin'?"

  • We're not going to say: "What are you doing?"

  • We say: "Whatcha doing?"

  • We might say: "Whatcha gonna do?

  • Whatcha gonna do, guests drop in on you?"

  • The Specials.

  • Amazing band; probably one of the best bands in the world.

  • Check them out.

  • "Whatcha gonna do?"

  • So, we have: "What are you going to do?"

  • We don't waste time saying all those words.

  • "Whatcha gonna do, when they come for you, bad boy, bad boy?"

  • "Want you".

  • We say: "Wantcha".

  • So, you might hear someone say: "I wantcha", and then you have no idea what that means.

  • "Wantcha".

  • Oh: "I want you.

  • I wantcha."

  • So, let's do this one more time.

  • "Wantcha" is "want you"; "whatcha" is "what are you"-that one's fun-"dontcha", "don't

  • you"; "betcha" is "bet you"; "gotcha, gotcha, gotcha" is "got you; and "getcha" is "get

  • you".

  • I'm going to getcha to subscribe to my channel, and I'm going to getcha to learn English.

  • My name's Ronnie, and I'm out of here.

Do you like to listen to music?
