Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to Speak
Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Sunday with a quick one point lesson to help you
improve your pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. Today, let's talk about
another tiny word that changes in American English. Two. In
everyday English conversation, two usually reduces to a quick, tough sound.
I went to bed sounds like I went to bed.
I need to study. Sounds like I need to study.
The ooh vowel sound of two becomes the unstressed schwa
sound uh like nice to meet you. I have to leave.
I went to work. Okay, let's practice repeat after me
I went to work, they go to school. I have
to study. Now you're speaking like a native. Hey. Thanks
