Americans almost never say “Did you” the slow, clear textbook way. Instead, it reduces to “Dija” in fast speech. 👉 Try these: - “Did you eat yet?” → “Dija eat yet?” - “Did you call her?” → “Dija call her?” - “Did you see that?” → “Dija see that?” Your task: 1. Record yourself saying each sentence slowly (textbook style). 2. Then record again with the reduction (“Dija”). 3. Post your two versions in the comments so others can hear the difference.

Stop saying “what do you” the textbook way. Americans don’t.They turn it into “whatcha”—fast, smooth, and natural. 👉 Examples: - “What do you want?” → Whatcha want? - “What do you think?” → Whatcha think? - “What do you mean?” → Whatcha mean? Master reductions like this and you’ll sound instantly more American. 🔥 Try it out loud right now and drop your own “whatcha” sentence in the comments.

Instead of saying I "want to"....say I "wanna".... sounds more natural and more native.
