Hi,
Since I want to hone my skills in fast informal spoken English, I try to only listen to videos in youtube with subtitles.
In the following video link :
https://youtu.be/mfuE00qdhLA?t=137
The narrator says : "Lot of people with 4-wheel drive, sink-ah-sawl we're gonna need when it's snows", which is transcribed like :
"Lot of people with 4-wheel drive, think that's all we're gonna need when it's snows".
As I have highlighted in red, the "t" of think is replaced by "s" and less importantly, the "t" of that is literally dropped.
Could you help me out by giving me some rules that help me to find out the general pattern behind such pronunciations, so that I could improve my skills in such domain quicker ?
Thank you.
