Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.

Today, let’s look at another very common sound change in American English: “don’t you.” In everyday American English, we usually pronounce don'y you as don-cha.

That’s because when the T sound and the Y sound come together, they blend into a CH sound. And the OO of you becomes UH. So... don’t you becomes don-cha

Don’t you know that? becomes Don-cha know that?
Don’t you want to go? becomes Don-cha wanna go?
Don’t you remember? becomes Don-cha remember?

Let’s practice. Repeat after me: Don-cha know that? Don-cha wanna go? Don-cha remember?

Nice and smooth - don-cha. Using this kind of linking makes your English smoother and more natural.

Hey, thanks for listening! And remember to follow and subscribe so you won’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week’s Speak Naturally in a Minute. Until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
