Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：Your most recent movie is the most moving film I’ve ever seen.

Roza
▶︎ OK, guys. It’s time to polish your pronunciation.
Today’s sentence is …
・Your most recent movie is the most moving film I’ve ever seen.
・Your most recent movie is the most moving film I’ve ever seen.

Today we’ll be focusing on several points.
The first one is the / / sound in “your.”
We also have the disappearing “t” at the end of “recent” and “most,”
and of course some linking with “film I’ve ever seen.”
Let’s go through one by one.
Repeat after me.
your, your
recent, recent
recent movie, recent movie
most moving, most moving
film I’ve ever seen, film I’ve ever seen

your most recent movie,
is the most moving
film I’ve ever seen

All right.
Let’s do the whole sentence together.
・Your most recent movie is the most movie I’ve ever seen.

One more time.
・Your most recent movie is the most movie I’ve ever seen.

Excellent work, guys.
