Pronunciation Polish

Roza
▶︎ OK, guys. Well, we’ve got a really fun “Pronunciation Polish” corner waiting for you.
Are you ready? Here’s today’s sentence.
・I don’t know.
・I don’t know.

The main focus point in today’s practice is the disappearing “t.”
Let’s practice together.
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
・I don’t know.
・I don’t know.

One more time.
・I don’t know.

You think we are done?
We are actually not.
Since this is so short and sweet, we’re gonna practice some more variations.
Here’s a littl bit faster way of saying this phrase.
Listen carefully.
・I don’t know.
・I don’t know.

Let’s go a little slower.
・I don’t know.
・I don’t know.

How’s that?
Are you getting it?
