4 分钟If you listen closely when American English speakers talk,
you'll notice that we often say the words and,
and, and in in almost the same way when we speak at normal speed.
If you don't believe me, listen to this sentence.
He was in an orange and yellow car.
Did you notice how I pronounced the words in, and, and, and in almost the same way?
They all sound something like this.
Listen one more time.
He was in an orange and yellow car.
In this episode,
I'm going to explain why this is and I'm going to show you how you can say these words more like me and other American English speakers.
Also, remember that if you want to improve your pronunciation in English,
you can use my pronunciation seminars in which I help you pronounce words and phrases more naturally.
That link is in the description below this episode.
Okay, so why do many native English speakers pronounce the words and,
and, and in in a similar way, or maybe the same way?
That's because these words are usually reduced in our sentences,
and when we reduce a syllable, the vowel sound becomes really short, and its sound changes.
In the case of the words and and and, the A sound is reduced.
And not only that, in the word AND we usually skip the final D.
