Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.As we’ve said before, in everyday spoken American English, we often use reduction - that means we shorten or soften sounds when we speak.Today, let’s look at two really common question reductions that you hear all the time in natural spoken English: don’t you and won’t you. These are pronounced like, doncha and wonchaWhen we say don’t you, the T of don’t blends with the Y of you. Don’t you becomes doncha.  Like “Doncha wanna go?” “Doncha know him?” “Doncha like it” DonchaAnd when we say  won’t you, the T of won’t blends with the Y of you. Won’t you becomes woncha.  “Woncha join us for lunch?” “Woncha come inside?” “Woncha tell me?”  WonchaSo remember. Doncha and Woncha. These natural ways to say don’t you and won’t you in American English.  They help the rhythm stay smooth and make the whole sentence easier to say.And if you want to sound more natural yourself, try using them in casual conversation.
