Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：And from now on you’ll always make them at home.

David
▶︎ All right. Well, thank you all for coming to today’s “Pronunciation Polish,”
Let’s check out today’s phrase.
・And from now on you’ll always make them at home.
・And from now on you’ll always make them at home.

All right. We have a handful of points to zoom in on today.
Let’s start at the front.
First up is “from.”
The “o” sound becomes very short. The schwa sound.
from, from
from now on

Nest up, “you’ll” plus “always.”
Let’s join those together.
you’ll always, you’ll always

Good job.
And “them” plus “at.”
them at

The “e” sound in “them” is also important, yeah?
them at
them at home
you’ll always make them at home

All right.
Let’s try the full sentence now.
・And from now on you’ll always make them at home.
