p. 107 - With a partner, read the “real speak” conversation, and write the correct words over reduced pronunciations. Then listen and check.

you -> ya
you’re -> y’r
your -> yer (same pronunciation)
yours -> yers

How are ya? How’ve ya been?

Remember the other reductions with “you”:
whatcha = what you
