Welcome back to the Slow English Podcast, where we train your ears step by step. In this episode, we dive deep into one of the biggest challenges English learners face: fast English. Why does it sound like a blur? How do native speakers really talk? And most importantly — how can you learn to keep up?

We break down the 5 hidden reasons fast English sounds fast: contractions, linking, reductions, stress, and slang. With real-life examples, pronunciation demos, and fun voice games, you’ll start hearing English in a new way — not word-by-word, but as connected speech and chunks.

🎧 You’ll learn:

• What "d’you wanna" really means (and how to say it)
• How to recognize fast speech patterns like "gowan", "whaddaya", and "lemme"
• The power of chunking and glides for real-time understanding
• Accent training tips (UK, US, AUS) — and why patterns matter more than individual words
• Mini-practices, quick quizzes, and repeat-after-me drills

This episode is part 1 of a 3-part fast English mini-course.

Next up: full listening workouts (shadowing, echo method, dictation).

Get ready to train your ears, build your brain’s fluency engine, and feel more confident in every conversation.

📌 Listen slowly. Learn deeply. Speak confidently.
