Pronunciation Polish

Roza
▶︎ It’s time for our pronunciation polish, guys.
Are you ready? Today’s sentence is…
・I was on the show for about two years.
・I was on the show for aobut two years.

Today we’ll be focusin on two points.
They’re easy and they’re the things you’ve already done before.
So listen up!
The first point is the combining sound of these two words.
on the, on the

The second point is the disappearing “t.”
abou(t) two, abou(t) two

Let’s repeat together.
on the, on the
abou(t) two, abou(t) two
I was on the show, I was on the show
abou(t) two years, abou(t) two years

All right.
Let’s go with the full sentence now.
・I was on the show for about two years.
