What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?
- In normal speech, words join up: 'What are you doing?' sounds like 'Whatcha doing?'
- Contractions are everyday English, not lazy English: I'm, don't, he's, we'll, they've.
- 'Going to' often sounds like 'gonna' and 'want to' like 'wanna' - understand them, and speak either way.
- Small words like to, of and and lose their strength: 'a cup of tea' sounds like 'a cuppa tea'.
