S, Z, SH and ZH Sounds: Casual Word Stress in Sentences
Here we will practice the same sentences, but more casually. When speaking this way, you will use less stress, pause less often and let the words flow together more.

When you see "same," this means that there are no extra points of casual English in the sentence. In other sentences, the extra points are shown. New points in this lesson are:
  • Sure to report = sur'd'report
  • How to = how'd'
  • Them = 'um
  • Need to = needt' (combine D and T-- should be slightly longer than one sound)
