Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：It didn’t go as well as I expected.

Roza
▶︎ Heu, guys. It’s almost the end of the lesson,
but we still have time to practice our pronunciation.
You ready?
Here’s today’s phrase.
・It didn’t go as well as I expected.
・It didn’t go as well as I expected.

Today’s phrase is short, but we have a lot of disappearing “t”s and “d”s.
And a little bit linking as well.
So let’s practice them together.
Repeat after me.
well as I, well as I, well as I
well as I expected

The disappearing “d” is there.
expected
well as I expected

Great work.
Now let’s go to “it didn’t go.”
it didn’t go,
it didn’t go
as well as I expected

Great.
Now let’s try the full sentence at a natural speed.
Let’s go.
・It didn’t go as well as I expected.
・It didn’t go as well as I expected.

How did you do?
Keep up the good work, guys.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys.
There are times when you really have to cancel things, and apologize, right?

David
▶︎ That’s true. Sometimes it just can be helped.

Roza
▶︎ Sensei, I’m waiting for your apology.

Onishi
▶︎ Sorry.
