Fast Speech

ការស្តាប់ភាសាអង់គ្លេសលឿនៗ

When native speakers talk fast, words melt together. They drop sounds and link words!

នៅពេលជនជាតិដើមនិយាយលឿន ពាក្យតែងតែភ្ជាប់គ្នា។ ពួកគេតែងតែលុបសំឡេងខ្លះចោល ហើយភ្ជាប់ពាក្យចូលគ្នា!

warning The "Word-by-Word" Trap!

Do not try to hear every single word.

(កុំព្យាយាមស្តាប់ និងបកប្រែមួយពាក្យៗ! ត្រូវស្តាប់ពាក្យណាដែលគេសង្កត់សំឡេងធ្ងន់ៗ (Content words) ដើម្បីយល់ន័យជារួម។)
"What do you want to do?"
Whaddaya wanna do?

Teacher Tip: Don't panic when they speak fast! Listen to the rhythm. Focus on the verbs and nouns, and let the small grammar words fade into the background.

Great question, Sovan! Do NOT write "gonna" in an essay (it's informal). However, in the Speaking test, saying "gonna" shows natural fluency and can actually help your pronunciation score! Just make sure you know how to write "going to" correctly. editrecord_voice_over

When native speakers talk fast, I completely freeze. How do I stop panicking?

It is totally normal to feel that way! The trick is to stop trying to catch *every* word. Focus on the stressed words (usually nouns, main verbs, adjectives). If you hear "go... shop... buy... milk", your brain can fill in the rest. Relax and listen to the melody! music_note
