Pronunciation Polish
David
▶︎ OK, everyone. Welcome to today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
Here’s today’s sentence.
・She needs to keep her attention on her studies.
・She needs to keep her attention on her stuides.
All right. We have two main techuniques here.
First is the “h” in “her” disappears.
“Keep her attention” becomes “keep (h)er attention.”
Did you hear the linking there too?
keep (h)er – attention, keep (h)er – attetion
Very nice. Now let’s link up “attention” and “on.”
attention – on, attention – on
There’s a hard again.
So it would become
attention on (h)er studies, attention on (h)er studies
keep her attention on her studies, keep her attention on her studies
All right. Let’s build these chunks into the complete sentence.
・She needs to keep her attention on her studies.
・She needs to keep her attention on her stuidies.
All right. You’re doing great.
Don’t worry if it’s not perfect.
Practice is the key.

David
▶︎ That’s right. The bar is a little high, but that’s to help you stretch.
