Pronunciation Polish

Today’s sentences ：Let me get it. I insist.

Roza
▶︎ All right, guys. I hope you’re not confused,
‘cause it’s time to practice our pronunciation.
Here we go!
Today’s phrase is …
・Let me get it. I insist.
・Let me get it. I insist.

We’ll be going over several points and
since today’s phrase is short and sweet, let’s have some fun with it.
OK? Repeat after me.
get it, get it, get it

Great job so far.
Now let’s go to “let.”
It’s the disappearing “t.”
let, let
let me get it, let me get it
One more time.
let me get it

Great, Now let’s practice.
I insist. I insist.
The “t” sound is really, really weakened.
I insist.

Ready for the full sentence?
・Let me get it. I insist.
・Let me get it. I insist.

Excellent work, guys.
Now for a little bit bonus,
let’s try another version of “let me.”

You can say,
let me
let me get it, let me get it
・Let me get it. I insist.

If you can master that one,
you’re sounding like a native speaker in no time.
Great work, everyone.
