Pronunciation Polish

Today’s sentence ：I already talked to Roxy about that.

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
Here’s today’s phrase.
・I already talked to Roxy about that.
・I already talked to Roxy about that.

Today we’ll zoom in on three main areas.
First up, let’s look at “already” and the pronunciation “already.”
It’s a little tough, but at high speed or natural speed, it sounds like this.
already, already

So don’t worry about the “l” sound too much,
I already

Next up, we have “talked to.”
We have the “t” sound repeating, let’s make them to one.
talked to, talked to

Last up, we have the “t” at the end of “about” and “that.”
They will both disappear.
about that, about that

All right.
Now let’s put it all together.
・I already talked to Roxy about that.
・I already talked to Roxy about that.

Nice.
You’re making great progress.
