Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
First, here’s today’s phrase.
・Were you able to locate what you were looking for?
・Were you able to locate what you were looking for?

We have a couple of points to focus on today.
Let’s start with the first three words.
were, you, able

When we say them together, it’s nice and short.
Three vowel shouds become much shorter, much smaller.
Let’s try it one more time.
were you able
were you able to
were you able to locate

All right.
Next we have “what” and “you.”
Let’s join the sounds together.
It sounds like “what you,” “what you.”

Really good.
That “were” here at the end is similar to the “from(?).”
So,
were looking for, were looking for
what you were looking for

All right.
Let’s put it altogether, and make the one nice complete sentence.
・Were you able to locate what you were looking for?

And one more time in a natural speed.
・Were you able to locate what you were looking for?

Fantastic!
Great work today, guys.
Don’t worry it’s not perfect.
You got this.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Facing the window, maybe?

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. Could you explain it a bit?

Roza
▶︎ Sure. Well, it’s kind of like giving one option of a possibility.

David
▶︎ So imagine you’re holding your hands.
And Option A is in one hand, and Option B is in the other.
You raise one hand to consider, you raise another hand to consider.
Maybe this? Maybe this? This one maybe?
That’s how it feels.
