And today I am going to teach you, by request, how to listen to very fast English, native English speakers; when they put too little tiny words together to make bigger words.

應觀眾要求，我今天要來教你如何聽懂母語人士快速說的英文，他們會把很小的字連在一起，去創造一個比較大的字。

This will help you with your listening a lot.

這個影片可以幫助你的聽力。

A lot of people said, "Ronnie! How could I improve my listening."

很多人都問我，「嘿羅妮！如何可以增進我的英文聽力？」

This is one way.

這是一個方法。

The other thing that this will improve is your fluency.

另一個好處就是這也可以增進你的口說流利度。

So if you find that you're not being able to speak very fast in English, if you can master these, you will be able to increase your listening and your speaking all in one easy step.

如果你發現你沒辦法說英文說得很快，當你學會這些東西，你一定可以增強你的聽力和口說。

So, the very very first thing we're going to look at is the word: gonna. Can you repeat that? Gonna.

那麼，我們首先要看的字是 gonna；你可以重複一遍嗎？gonna。

Then we have wanna. Wanna.

接下來是 wanna，wanna。

Next we have gotta, and then, hafta.

接著是 gotta，再來是 hafta。

Maybe you've heard gonna before. Does anyone know what it means? Gonna?

或許你曾經聽過 gonna，有人知道 gonna 是什麼意思嗎？

Gonna means, going to.

Gonna 的意思是「將要」。

So when we speak naturally in English we say, um, "I'm gonna go to the movies" or "I'm gonna go home."

所以當我們自然地說英文的時候，我們會說「我要去看電影」或是「我要回家」。

We would never say "I'm going to go home."

我們從來不說，「我要 (going to) 回家」。

Say, "I'm gonna go home"

而會說，「我要 (gonna) 回家」。

gonna go...ok?

將要去...，這樣理解嗎？

So gonna go is "going to" plus "go"

所以 gonna go 是 going to 加上 go。

You don't have to use go, you can use any other verb.

你不一定要用 go，你可以用其他的動詞。

The next one, wanna.

下一個，wanna。

If this is going to, what do you think wanna means?

如果這個是 going to，那你覺得 wanna 是什麼意思？

It means, want to.

這代表，「想要」。

So I can say "I wanna eat pizza." or "I wanna see a movie." or "I wanna go home."

所以我可以說「我想 (wanna) 吃披薩」、「我想 (wanna) 看電影」，或「我想 (wanna) 回家」。

"I wanna go home." You can said like that.

「我想回家」你可以這樣說。

So, instead of saying wants to, I want to go to the movies , we say I wanna go to the movies. I wanna see you. ok?

所以與其說 wants to，「我想要 (want to) 看電影」，「我們會說我想要 (wanna) 看電影」，「我想 (wanna) 見你」，可以嗎？

Then next one is gotta.

下一個是，gotta。

Gotta is very very strange the way the grammer was in this one.

gotta 是一個很怪的文法。

This is actually I have.

這其實表示「我必須」。

Now, this is grammatically incorrect we should say "I have got to..."

這文法是不正確的，我們應該說「I have got to...」。

We say gotta, so we said "I gotta go..."

我們說 gotta。所以我們會說「I gotta go...」。

I gotta have. I gotta learn. I gotta learn English on Engvid

「我必須 (gotta) 有。」、「我必須 (gotta) 學習。」，「我必須在 Engvid上面學習。」

And the last one is hafta.

最後一個是 hafta。

We say have to.

我們會說「必須...」。

So this say I have to go. You can say I hafta go

所以，我說「我該 (have to) 走了」，你可以說，”I hafta go."

So, what you hafta remember... wow it's hafta! See? How nature that was, is in English, we change the word plus to, and we just change "a" , sometimes you put "ta", sometimes put "na".

所以，你要記住，哇！我剛剛說了hafta，聽到了嗎？多麼自然就說出口啊，在英文中，我們把這個字改變並加上"to"，在這裡我們只換了「a」，有時候你要放「ta」，有時候你要放「na」。

There's no rule for using "ta" or "na".

沒有特別規定說要用「ta」或是「na」。

This you choose one two three four five words you can remember, gonna wanna gotta hafta that have "to" at the end.

這是你可以選擇這 1、2、3、4、5 個字你可以記得的，gonna、wanna、gotta、hafta 他們都有 to 在結尾。

There's some more.

後面還有更多例子。

Excited?

興奮嗎？

These are modals in English.

這些是英文裡的情態助動詞。

We have coulda , shoulda, woulda, and musta. Musta?

我們有 coulda、shoulda、woulda 和 musta，Musta?

So, these are actually how we say things like this.

所以，我們平常說話時會這樣說。

Wow it's far stretch. So instead of saying could have, "oh! I could have gone to the movies", we say " I coulda gone"

哇！扯太遠了！所以為了要說 could have，「喔！我應該可以去 (could have) 看電影的。」，我們會說「I coulda gone...」。

Instead to saying should have, we said "shoulda"

與其說 should have，我們會說 shoulda。

This is we use for when we made a mistake. "oh, man! I shoulda gone to the movies!"

當我們做了一個錯誤的決定時就會用到這個字，「喔天啊！我應該要去看電影的 (但當初沒有看)。」

Why didn't I go?

為什麼我沒去？

This one, can you guess what this one is?

這個，你可以猜到是什麼意思嗎？

We say woulda, but it should be would have.

我們說 woulda，這原本是 would have。

And the last one is musta, must have.

最後一個是 musta，是 must have 的縮寫。

So, we said would have, we said "woulda", and must have we said "musta".

所以，我們會把 would have 說成 woulda，must have 說成 musta。

We use the modal we never use "have", we say "a"

當我們使用情態助動詞時，我們從不說 have，我們會說 a。

very strange, and the last two, kind of fun.

非常奇怪；還有最後兩個也蠻有趣的。

I see this word a lot in TV commercials when they're advertising something that has" a lot of" something so they'll say stuff like lotsa tomatoes, or lotsa money, or lotsa pizza.

我很常看到這個字在電視廣告上出現，當他們在為某個產品打廣告時，如果要說「a lot of」，他們會說「很多 (lotsa) 番茄」、「很多 (lotsa) 錢」或是「很多 (lotsa) 比薩。」

"Lotsa" is actually " a lot of".

lotsa 就代表 a lot of。

We totally take out the "a", and we change lot of to "lotsa".

我們會把 a 拿出來，然後換成 lotsa。

I don't know why but yes I had no idea

我不知道為什麼。

And this one, did anyone know what this one might be?

還有這個，有任何人知道是什麼意思嗎？

this one is sort of.

這個是 sort of。

Sort of means a little bit or another things that we would say kind of or kinda.

sort of 代表「一點點」，或我們也可以說 kind of 或 kinda。

There's the same thing so you can say," I sorta wanna go to the movies."

你也可以說「我有點 (sorta) 想去看電影」。

or I kinda wanna go to the movies

或是「我有點 (kinda) 想要去看電影」。

It's not 100 percent it's like you're thinking about it.

不是百分之百確定，但你在考慮。

So, sorta and kinda, basically have the same meaning, they mean sort of or kind of, and this basically means a little bit.

所以，sorta 跟 kinda 基本上都是指同樣的事情，他們代表的是 sort of 跟 kind of，意思是一點點。

Well, now you'd heard this lesson, go to the website Engvid. Cause I gotta go. Bye bye.
