Roza
▶︎ Hey, guys. Do you wish you could practice your pronunciation a little bit more?
Well, I’ve got good news. It’s time for the “Pronunciation Polish” corner,
Today’s sentence is …
・I hope to stay in Japan a few months out of the year.
・I hope to stay in Japan a few months out of the year.

TOday we’ll be focusing on linking, the pronunciation of the word “months,” and also
the “t” sound in “out of.”
Are you ready?
Repeat after me.
Japan a, Japan a, Japan a

Great work so far.
Now let’s go to “months.”
Listen carefully and close your eyes if it helps.
months, months, months

And now for the “out of.”
Let’s try with the sound “out of.”
out of, out of

Great. A little bit more?
out of the year, out of the year
a few months out of the year
in Japan a few months out of the year

All right. Let’s do the full sentence.
・I hope to stay in Japan a few months out of the year.

One more time.
・I hope to stay in Japan a few months out of the year.

Excellent work.
Do you see how that kind of flows together?
Try if you have some time.
And great work.
