Listen to the “real” native pronunciation of the conversation from yesterday. On p. 3, underline or circle the sounds they don’t pronounce completely.

Pronunciation reduction: d+y -> j, t+y -> ch
did you -> didja
let you -> letcha
Between words, this is common in informal speaking. Inside a word, it is the standard pronunciation: graduation, future
	(It also happens with ‘z’ and ‘s’ sounds: vision, sure)

p. 6 - Listen to the sentences. What words am I saying?

What’dja do? = What did you do?
Dinsha finish it? = Didn’t you finish it?
	Didja finish it? = Did you finish it?

Getcher car fixed. = Get your car fixed.
