Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：How have you been?

David
▶︎ All right. It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
Let’s take a look at today’s phrase.
・How have you been?
・How have you been?

All right.
It’s a very high frequency phrase.
So let’s master it together.
First up we have “have” – the /h/ sound will be very weak.
And we have the schwa sound here too.
have, have, have
how have, how have

All right.
Now let’s add “you” to that.
we’ve got the schwa sound there too.
how have you, how have you

All right, and the full question.
・How have you been?
・How have you been?
・How have you been?

OK.
Now we’ve got the basics.
Let’s try it at natural speed.
・How have you been?
・How have you been?
・How have you been?

All right.
You’re doing great.
When you can master this, and say it without thinking,
then you know you’re ready to go.
Good work.
