Very often we shorten words to make them easier to say:
I am ...... I'm
I am not ..... I'm not
He is .... He's
He is not .... he's not... or .......he isn't
We are ...... we're
We are not .... we aren't

These are correct language usage

However, in parts of Yorkshire you hear people say:

I aren't going, which is as bad as ain't
