The InFluency Podcast

Do you know how words like can, could, would, and should actually sound in natural spoken English?
These modal verbs are very common, but their pronunciation often changes when we speak naturally. Sounds get reduced, connected, or even seem to disappear.
These are words you use all the time, so learning how they really sound can make a big difference in both your speaking and your listening.
