How to have an American accent! When we used connected speech “have to” actually sounds like “hafta”

Don't forget 'fixin' to' or 'finna'. -Texas

There is so many different dialects in America, it’s a huge country

I have to like that now I’m painfully aware of it

Even more so, say "gotta" I really gotta finish my essay. Do you really "gotta" leave? Instead of got to. It's improper English but most of it is when you're speaking casually.

Also "gonna" instead of "going to", "imma" instead of "im going to", and "wanna" instead of "want to"

[Katz_Pajamas]

That's not "American"... That's a dialect in America. Maybe Southern? But it's not just "American". I'd say "have to" and I'm an English language speaking American. But more than likely I'd say "need to" instead.
