Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：Everyone got off at our station.

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. There’s no time for goofing off.
It’s time to polish our pronunciation. Are you ready?
OK. Let’s jump in.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・Everyone got off at our station.
・Everyone got off at our station.

Today’s main focus is three words – “got off at.”
Let’s focus on these sounds together as we join them, and change the sounds a little.
“got off at” becomes “got off at,” “got off at.”

Can you hear the changes?
All right. Try it again.
got off at
everyone got off at
・Everyone got off at our station.
・Everyone got off at our station.

Wow, that sounds smoother already.
Great work today.

Roza
▶︎ It’s a very “goofy” word

Onishi
▶︎ Ah ー ha, What do you mean by “goof”?

▶︎ It means silly or not serious.
So if someone’s being goofy, they are being silly or humorous, not serious.
