Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ All right. Let’s wrap up today’s lesson with some pronunciation polish.
FIrst, let’s start with the sentence.
・To the best of my knowledge, most of her relatives live there.
・To the best of my knowledge, most of her relatives live there.

All right. We zoom in on two main areas today.
First is “my knowledge.”
The “y” in “my” becomes more like that /ə/ sound.
my relatives, my relatives

All right. It’s nice and short.
So focus on that.
best of my knowledge, best of my knowledge

All right.
Next is “most of her relatives.”
All of these words will become linked and joined together.
Listen carefully.
“Most of her relatives” becomes “most – of – her – relatives.”
Let’s practice that as one big chunk. OK?
most of her relatives
most of her relatives

most of her relatives live there
most of her relatives live there

OK. Let’s put it altogether.
・To the best of my knowledge, most of her relatives live there.
・To the best of my knowledge, most of her relatives live there.

All right.
You’re doing great, sounding smoother by the day.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎🎶 We all live in a yellow submarine.🎵

Roza
▶︎🎵 A yellow submarine.♪

David
▶︎🎵 A yellow submarine.♪
