I don't understand the question.

Please give us an example or two (not 22 all at once!) of what you mean.
 
I should say when I reduce these followings.
1. How do we talk to strangers?
2. How did we talk to the strangers?
 
I should say when I reduce these followings.

Unfortunately, your sentence is meaningless. It is not a question. What do you mean by "reduce" here?
 
:idea: Do you mean 'How do we say it in rapid speech?'

For example, How do we talk to strangers? —> How'd we talk to strangers? pronounced How dwee talk to strangers?
 
Yes, I would like to know the other one too. How do you say it in rapid speech?

How did we talk to the strangers?
 
How do you say [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] this in rapid speech?

"How did we talk to the strangers?"
In my American dialect: How'd we talk t'the strangers?

Your other sentence:How d'we talk t'the strangers?
 
Much the same for many BrE speakers.
