Yes, absolutely! These are SPEAKING reductions. We say "gonna" but we write "going to" (unless you are texting a close friend). In IELTS writing or business emails, always spell out the full words! ✍️

How can I understand movies better? I can read the subtitles fine, but the audio is too messy.

That is very common at the C1 level! To fix this, you must study Connected Speech (how words link together). Instead of listening for "What - are - you - doing", listen for the sound block: "Whatcha-doin?". The "Shadowing" mission in this lesson will help you train your ear! 🎧
