Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation Workshop. Here, I'm going to show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside. Hey, look at this: a present. All wrapped up in paper. Now, do you know what this is? Well, if you could smell it, it might give you a clue.
Voice
Is it your old socks?
Tim
Very funny – No. No, it's not my old socks. It's something much, much nicer. Something delicious in fact. Let's ask the people of London if they can tell what it is, without seeing it.
Voxpops: Fish and chips.
Tim
Yes, that's right. It's good old fish and chips. I'm going to save that for later. Now the word and has got three sounds, hasn't it? /æ/, /n/, /d/ - but listen again. How is it pronounced in everyday speech?
Voxpops: Fish and chips.
Tim
And is not usually an important word. It’s a basic conjunction and it's frequently unstressed. When this happens, the /d/ at the end of the word disappears before both vowels and consonants, and the vowel sound at the beginning of the word changes to schwa: /ə/, so and becomes /ən/ or even /n/ as the sounds are almost identical. Here are some more examples.
Examples
I'm going to go and get the shopping.
Apples and oranges are my favourite fruits.
I’ve been thinking and thinking but I can't decide.
We went for a coffee and something to eat.
Tim
Right, so you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. You know the drill. Listen and repeat.

Great work. Remember, if you want to learn more about pronunciation, then please visit our website, bbclearningenglish dot com. And that is about it from the Pronunciation Workshop for now. I'll see you next week. Bye! Now, there's only one thing to eat with fish 'n' chips – and that's salt ‘n’ vinegar. This reminds me of one of my favourite jokes: What do angry sharks eat? Fish ‘n’ ships. Get it? Fish ‘n’ ships! Oh, I don't know why I bother. Ok, now, time to eat. What? What is this? What is going on? Where's the…? It really is fish… and ships! Well that is the last time I'm telling that joke. This is no laughing matter. I'm hungry now…

TRANSCRIPT
Hello, I'm Darren. Today I've got a story about a boy who loves adventure. His life is sometimes fun, sometimes sad, but always exciting – and the boy's name is Huckleberry Finn.
So Huckleberry – let's call him Huck – has come into a bit of money. His sisters, and a lady called Miss Watson, are all trying to get him to improve his behaviour and his manners, and stop coming across as a street urchin! But all he wants to do is play pirates and robbers with his friends.
Huck decides to give away his money, but then his violent dad comes to see him, demanding the cash – of course, he's too late. This makes him furious and takes Huck off to live in filthy poverty down by the riverside. He's not happy about this and wants to escape his miserable existence. He comes up with a plan to fake his own death, and then goes to hide on a nearby island. It's here he meets Jim, Miss Watson's slave boy, who's run away and is trying to avoid being sold and sent away from his family.
Huck invites Jim to come with him on an adventure and they begin a journey along the Mississippi River. Along the way, they have fun, get into all sorts of trouble and escape being drowned. Huck's conscience is troubled by helping an escaped slave but they still become good mates. But the two boys don't remain together forever.
Something is about to go wrong – but to find out what, you'll have to join me in part two. I'll see you then. Bye for now.
