Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：It sounds like you’re here with me.

Roza
▶︎ Hey, guys. It’s getting closer to the end of the lesson.
So that means it’s time to practice our pronunciation.
You ready? Here’s today’s sentence.
・It sounds like you’re here with me.
・It sounds like you’re here with me.

So today we’ll be focusing on “it.”
“It” both has the /ə/ sound as well as the disappearing “t” sound.
Let’s practice together.
it, it, it

Now remember for it
You pronounce it lightly, it’s a “受ける単語.”
So “it.”

All right.
Let’s combine it with some other sounds.
it sounds, it sounds
it sounds like

you’re here with me

it sounds like

you’re here weith me

All right.
Let’s do the full sentence together.
・It sounds like you’re here with me.
・It sounds like you’re here with me.

All right.
Excellent work, guys.
How did you do?
It sounds like you’re getting better and better.
Keep on practicing.
