Pronunciation Polish

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s Pronunciation Polish time, yeah! Let’s get into it.
First, let’s start with today’s sentence.
・We went through some tough times back then.
・We went through some tough times back then.

All right. Here’s two areas we’ll lock in on today.
Let’s zoom in and take a look.

First is the “thr” in “through.”
Let’s practice this together. OK?
thr, thr, thr

Dirctly llink that “th” sound into the “r” – thr. All right.
thr, thr, thr
we went through, we went through

All right. Next is the “o” in “some”- nice and short /ə/ sound. OK?
some, some, some

It’s easier when you link with other words. OK?
through some tough, through some tough
through some tough times
We went through some tough times

All right. Now let’s try that full sentence together.
・We went through some tough time back then.
・We went through some tough time back then.

Wow, you’re doing a gteat job!
If you liseten carefully, you might find other areas while we are using some polish.
Listen again, see if you can find them for yourself.
By now you’re developing good instinct, I think.
