Pronunciation Polish

Today’s sentence ：What do you think he found there?

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for the “Pronunciation Polish.”
Are you ready? All right. Here’s today’s phrase.
・What do you think he found there?
・What do you think he found there?

Let’s zoom in on a couple of points.
First up is “what” plus “do.”
There’re actually many ways we can approach this,
But for today let’s start with “what do,” “what do.”

Next up, we have “he.”
Remember that “h” will disappear here.
he
he found, he found

Now let’s zoom on “found.”
That “d” sound will become very small, almost disappear.
It’ll sound like this …
found, found
he found this
think he found this

・What do you think he found there?
・What do you think he found there?

All right, and as a quick bonus.
Let’s try one more variation for “what” plus “do.”
what do, what do
・What do you think he found there?

All right.
Great work today.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Oh, thanks. I like it well.

Roza
▶︎ Sensei, I’m just practicing!

David
▶︎ Oh, you got it, you got him GOOD!
