954 – The Tiny W – Speak Naturally in a Minute | Happy English

Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube: Here

Now, in everyday spoken American English, we often connect vowel sounds with a very small, quick W sound. I call this the tiny W.

The tiny W happens when when one word ends with an “oo” sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound. Like, do it. We don’t stop the sound, and in one breath we say, doo-wit. It’s not do it, it’s doo-wit. I’m gonna doo-wit tomorrow. Did you hear the tiny w? I’m gonna doo-wit tomorrow.

Here are some other example:
You are sounds like yoo-wahr. Yoo-wahr a nice person.
Who else sounds like hoo-welse. Hoo-welse is coming to the party?
To ask sounds like too-wask. You need too-wask the boss.

Be sure to practice these phrases yourself this week and they will become part of your English.
