Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ Oh, hi, there. Are you looking to polish your pronunciation?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
Here’s today’s sentence.
・I didn’t know you had such a passion for curry.
・I didn’t know you had such a passion for curry.

All right. There are three places we’ll zoom in on today.
FIrst is “didn’t know.”
This “t” will disappear, and it sounds like “didn'(t) know,” “didn'(t) know.”

All right. Next up is linking “such” and “a.”
such a, such a
such a passion, such a passion

“For” becomes “for.”
for curry, for curry
such a passion for curry, such a passion for curry

All right. Now let’s put it all together.
・I didn’t know have such a passion for curry.
・I didn’t know have such a passion for curry.

All right. Now som bonus info.
“Didn’t know” when this “t” disappears, it ends in “n,” and
“know” starts with “/n/.”
So “didn’t know” is also OK.
Let’s try once.
I didn’t know, I didn’t know

All right.
・I didn’t know have such a passion for curry.

Wow!
I didn’t know you had such a passion for “Pronunciation Polish.”
Great work today, guys.
