Hello. My name is Emma, and in todays lesson, I am going to help you with your pronunciation. Today I am going to teach you how to pronounce contractions for the word "would". Okay?
So, first of all, "would". When do we use "would"? We use it a lot in English. One of the times in beginner and intermediate levels we use it is when we are at a restaurant. The server will ask you: "Oh, what would you like?" And you would respond: "I would like pizza.", "I would like chicken.", "I would like tacos.", "I would like coffee." Okay?
Now, the problem is... "Would"... This is all correct grammar-wise, but many, many students have trouble when it comes to pronouncing "would". Okay? The "w" sound is a little difficult, so many students cant pronounce this correctly. Okay?
Also, a lot of native speakers, like myself, a lot of Canadians and Americans, we dont really say "would" that frequently. What we usually say instead are contractions. So, a contraction is a short form. Instead of saying: "I would", "Id" has the same meaning. Okay? So this apostrophe here actually means "woul". Okay? So this means there are all these missing letters, but we dont actually need them. Contractions are very, very common in spoken English. Not writing, but in speaking, we use them a lot. Okay? So, if you want to sound more Canadian or more American, you should use contractions.
So, lets look at some of these contractions. So: -"What would you like? What would you like to order?" -"Id like some tea." Okay? So, lets start with that. I want you to repeat after me. "Id", "Id". And again, this means "I would", "Id". So it almost sounds like "eye-de". "Id", "Id like some tea. Id like some tea."
Now, maybe youre talking about... To your friend. Okay? In this case, if you want to say: "You would like tea", you can say: "Youd", "youd". So, again: "You-de", "youd". "Youd like some tea.", "Youd like some bread.", "Youd enjoy going to the beach." Okay? "Youd".
Now, if youre talking about a boy or a man, we can use the word... Instead of: "he would", you can use: "hed". Okay? And notice, this one, I actually smiled quite a lot. "Hed". "Hed like toast.", "Hed like the chicken.", "Hed like a salad." Okay? "Hed".
For women, we would use: "shed", "shed". And again, notice my smile, "shed". "Hed", "shed". They rhyme. "Shed like coffee.", "Shed like coffee.", "Shed like pizza." Okay? And again, "shed" means "she would". "She would like pizza.", "Shed like pizza."
Okay, now, if were talking about us and someone else, we would say: "wed", "wed". Okay? And again, theres a big smile on my face. "Wed". "Wed like chicken.", "Wed like poutine.", "Wed like french fries.", "Wed like hot dogs." Okay? Example of "wed".
Finally: "theyd". "Theyd like". So this is if you have "they would", it becomes "theyd". And youll notice-very simple-all of them are just apostrophe "d". "Theyd like chicken.", "Theyd like to study English." Okay?
So any time you want to use the word "would", try to replace it with a contraction. It will make you sound more like a native speaker. And, you know, especially if you have trouble with the pronunciation of "would", just adding apostrophe "d" will really help you with your spoken English.
