Sobre este título

Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.

Now, in everyday spoken American English, we often connect vowel sounds with a very small, quick W sound. I call this the tiny W. The tiny W happens when when one word ends with an “oo” sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound. Like, do it. We don’t stop the sound, and in one breath we say, doo-wit. It’s not do it, it’s doo-wit. I’m gonna doo-wit tomorrow. Did you hear the tiny w? I’m gonna doo-wit tomorrow.

Here are some other examples:

You are sounds like yoo-wahr. Yoo-wahr a nice person.
Who else sounds like hoo-welse. Hoo-welse is coming to the party?
To ask sounds like too-wask. You need too-wask the boss.

Be sure to practice these phrases yourself this week and they will become part of your English.
And remember to follow and subscribe so you won’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next Sunday’s Speak Naturally in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening! Until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
