Hi! This is Amy, with Go Places English and today I want to talk about the reduction and linking of OUT OF in American English.
OF is a preposition, and in many situations it is reduced to sound like UH. UH. UH.
OUT OF is often linked and reduced to sound like a single word. OW-DUH.
The T sound is pronounced kind of like a D. Listen for it. OUT OF. OUT OF. DUH. DUH. OW-DUH.
Practice saying OUT OF with me.

Let’s practice some sentences with OUT OF.
Listen and repeat aloud after me.

Good evening, I wonder if you could tell me how to see the assignments you send to the students. I registered in your class some days ago but I don’t know where I can find them. Thanks for your help.
