"Wocha doin`?"
"Waddaya makin`?"
"Gonna pain`it?"

Can you understand these questions? If my kids were native English speakers, maybe they would pronounce these questions like this.

This is their meaning:

1. "Wocha doin`?" (What/you/doing) = What are you doing?
2. "Waddaya makin`?" = What are you making?
3. "Gonna pain`it?" (Going/to/paint/it) = Are you going to paint it?

My answers: 1. I`m making something for our September craft fair. 2. Guess! 3.Probably not.

Pronunciation:
In natural spoken English, some sounds change, e.g.
t+y --> ch (meet you --> "meechoo")
t --> d (little --> "liddle")
nt --> n (twenty --> "twenny")
oo --> a (see you --> "seeya", to --> "ta")
