Hi Vireak! It is better to use the full "going to" during a formal job interview to sound professional. However, if "gonna" slips out naturally while you are speaking fast, don't worry too much! work
Why do native speakers talk so fast with these words?
It is all about rhythm! English is a stress-timed language. Reductions help compress the less important words so the stressed, important words can stand out more clearly. music_note
Is "ain't" also a reduction?
