Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：He made me drive faster than I shoud have.

Roza
▶︎ Are you ready for today’s practice?
Here we go!
Today’s phrase is …
・He made me drive faster than I should have.
・He made me drive faster than I should have.

All right.
Today we’ll be going over several points:
the weakened “h” in “he” and “have,”
and the connected sound of “drive” as well as the linking with “than I.”
Ready? Repeat after me.
than I, than I

Now let’s go to “drive.”
dr, dr
drive, drive

Keep going.
he made me
he made me drive
faster than I, faster than I
should have, should have

All right.
Let’s put the whole thing together.
・He made me drive faster than I should have.
・He made me drive faster than I should have.

All right.
A little faster now.
・He made me drive faster than I should have.

Your English is definitely better than before.
