    117: How native speakers really say it: Why English sounds different than its spelled

    In this episode of The Pronunciation Pro Podcast, Annie pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest mysteries for English learners: Why doesn’t English sound the way it looks on the page? Annie explains how native speakers naturally blend words together, shorten sounds, and “slur” common phrases—creating speech rhythms that can feel confusing if you’re expecting perfectly pronounced, textbook English. You’ll hear real examples of everyday phrases that change when spoken quickly, learn how to identify common sound reductions, and practice techniques to help you understand and use these shortcuts yourself. By the end, you’ll be able to recognize what’s really happening in fast, fluent English—and start sounding more like a native speaker, too. Tune in to discover the hidden patterns behind natural English speech and boost your confidence in conversations!
