Native speakers often shorten these expressions:

“I’m interested in…” sounds like: I’m innerested in…
-
“I like it.” often sounds like: I likeit.
🎧 Listening Tip:
Don’t expect every word to sound separate. Native speakers connect words together naturally. (ຢ່າຄາດຫວັງໃຫ້ທຸກຄຳອອກສຽງແຍກຈາກກັນ. ເຈົ້າຂອງພາສາເຊື່ອມຄຳເຂົ້າກັນຢ່າງເປັນທຳມະຊາດ).
