Pronunciation Polish
Roza
▶︎ Hey, guys. Let me ask you something.
Are you ready for the “Pronunciation Polish”? I am.
Let’s begin.
Today’s sentence is …
・They’re on opposite sides of the earth.
・They’re on opposite sides of the earth.
Today we will focus maily on two points.
The first is as usual linking.
The second point is the disappearing sound at the end of “opposite,”
the “te” disappears – opposite.
All right.
Ready to practice together?
Repeat after me.
opposite, opposite
Great job. Let’s keep going.
sides of, sides of
on opposite sides of, on opposite sides of
Excellent work so far.
Now let’s put it together in the whole sentence.
Ready?
・They’re on opposite sides of the earth.
・They’re on opposite sides of the earth.
One last time.
・They’er on opposite sides of the earth.
How did you do?
You’re doing fantastic.
No matter what level you are, keep going.
