Pronunciation Polish
Today’s Sentence：I’d be happy to guide you there.
David
▶︎ All right, everyone. You want to polish your pronunciation?
I’d happy to guide you.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・I’d be happy to guide you there.
・I’d be happy to guide you there.
All right.
We have a couple areas to focus in on today.
Let’s start with “I’d be.”
This is very high-frequency.
So of course, let’s polish that up.
The”d” sound in “I’d” will become very weak.
I’d be, I’d be
I’d be happy, I’d be happy
Very nice.
We have the schwa sound in “to.”
to guide, to guide
Now let’s join “guide” and “you.”
We have two options here.
guide you, guide you
Or …
guide you, guide you
You can choose which feels most comfortable.
But I will use “guide you” today.
guide you there, guide you there
to guide you there
Let’s put it all together.
・I’d be happy to guide you there.
・I’d be happy to guide you there.
Let’s try the “guide you” version as well.
・I’d be happy to guide you there.
・I’d be happy to guide you there.
All right.
How was it?
Are you feeling more confident in your pronunciation?
I hope so.
Keep it up.
