Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time to wrap up today with “Pronunciaton Polish.”
First, let’s check out today’s sentence.
・We’ve been seeing each other a lot recently.
・We’ve been seeing each other a lot recently.

All right. First up is the /i:/ sound in “ee.”
It gets shortened to //. It sounds like “been,” “been,” “been.”
Together with “we’ve” it sounds like more natural.
So let’s pair them.
We’ve been, We’ve been, We’ve been

Very good.
Next up is linking, linking, linking.
All of these words get joined.
It’s onea continuous flowing sound.
So let’s practice together. OK.

seeing each other, seeing each other
seeing each other a lot, seeing each other a lot

Do you hear the “t” in “lot” ? It disappears.
a lo(t), a lo(t)

All right. Let’s try some more.
seeing each other a lot recently, seeing each other a lot recently

Oh, getting much better.
Let’s try the whole sentence.
・We’ve been each other a lot recently.
・We’ve been each other a lot recently.

All right. ONe more time.
・We’ve been each other a lot recently.

Great, Again the point here is that these sounds get joined together.
It’s one long rolling sentence. This is what makes it smooth.
Great work, today.
