A short pronunciation tutorial by Hadar Shemesh explaining how the phrase “out of” is pronounced in natural American English speech. The speaker shows that "out of" commonly reduces to a single spoken form sounding like "atta" (with a flap T that sounds like D and a reduced vowel), and demonstrates with example phrases ("I'm outta here," "get outta here").

Hey, what's up? I'm Hadar and this is your how to pronounce accent Sway video. Today we're going to talk about the combination of the two words out and of. Outta, outta. Like get outta here or I'm outta here. So in order to pronounce it, we have to think about these two words as one word. Atta. Atta. Okay, so atta doesn't sound at all like out of the way. It's written. Again, don't think about the word as actually written. Think about the way it sounds, especially in context. Out of the office, out of here. So actually the first sound, the ow of the out becomes one sound that sounds like a as in cat, the T because it's in between two vowels, between the a sound. And the of becomes a flap T which sounds like a D, atta. And then the of is reduced to a schwa. Okay, so actually these two words narrow down to atta. Atta. It's just like when you say at a house or at a park, right? Atta. Again, nothing like the way it's written, but this is how it sounds. I'm outta here. Get outta here. Out of this world, out of the office. Atta. Atta. Alright, so it's not out of but atta. All right, guys, I'm outta here. I'll see you next week in the next video how to pronounce video. Bye.
