Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for our first “Pronunciation Polish” of the month.
So let’s take a look at today’s sentence.
・I went to the new Big West Coffee near our school.
・I went to the new Big West Coffee near our school.

All right. Two points to focus in on today.
Let’s zoom in.

First is “went” plus “to.”
We have doble “t” here. So one will disappear.
wen(t) to, wen(t) to

Very nice. Next is “near” plus “our.”
near – our, near – our

Do you hear the “our” becomes more like “アー”
OK? Let’s go one more time.
near – our
near – our school, near – our school

All right. Let’s put some chunks together, then the full sentence.

I went to the, I went to the
I went to the new Big West Coffee
I went to the new Big West Coffee

・I went to the new Big West Coffee near our school.
One last time.
・I went to the new Big West Coffee near our school.

All right. You’re doing great.
We’re off to a good start.
