Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：I’m also a licensed scuba diver.

▶︎ All right. Do you want to practice pronunciation now, or can you wait?
You can’t. All right, me neither.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・I’m also licensed scuba diver.

We have three main areas to zoom on in today.
So let’s start with the first.
“I’m also.”
Let’s linke those words up, yeah.
I’m also, I’m also

Next up, let’s take a look at “licensed scuba diver.”
The /d/ sound at the end of “licensed” will disappear.
licensed, licensed

And “scuba diver,” that /sc/ sound,
Let’s practice that together.
sc, sc
scuba, scuba diver
licensed scuba diver, licensed scuba diver

All right. You’ve got it.
So let’s put the whole sentence together.
・I’m also a licensed scuba diver.
