Today’s sentences ：Most visitors are not permitted in here.

David
▶︎ All right, everyone, It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Poish.”
First up, here’s today’s phrase.
・Most visitors are not permitted in here.
・Most visitors are not permitted in here.

We have a couple of points to zoom in on today.
So let’s jump in.
First up is “most.”
The “t” sound will disappear.
most, most
most visitors

All right.
This next one may be a little difficult for some speakers.
It focuses on the /ə/ sound.
“Are” becomes /ə/.
visitors are, visitors are

Next up, “permitted in.”
permitted in

Next the “here,” that “h” sound is very weak.
permitted in here, permitted in here

All right.
Let’s put them all together and make the full sentence.
・Most visitors are not permitted in here.
・Most visitors are not permitted in here.

Great work today.

Some people pronounce “allow” as 「アロウ」.

David

Roza
▶︎”Allow” is “allow.” Iif you say「アロウ」,
people won’t understand what you’re saying.

David
▶︎ It’s kind of. It’s like when somthing hurts you,
you say, “ow(アウ),” ow,” like “ouch.” It’s that sound.
