Pronounce 'going' + ing
How to pronounce:
We're going diving.
Explanation:
We're going to make a tour.
'going to' can be pronounced as going to /gəʊɪŋtə/ or as gonna /gʌnə/:
However,
We're going diving.
If I pronounce 'going' as gonna /gʌnə/ then the sentence becomes:
I'm gʌnə dive.
Is this correct English?
Is this indeed common in spoken native English?
Thank you!

No, you would be saying /gʌnə/ diving.

In we're going ....ing, going is pronounced /gəʊɪŋ/
