Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：May I ask if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions?

David
▶︎ It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
We have an important question to practice.
So let’s jump right in.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・May I ask if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions?
・May I ask if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions?

All right.
We have lots of little points to go over.
And it’s a long question, so let’s practice in chunks
and see if we can master that way.
First, let’s try “may I ask if.”
We’ll join “ask if” together – “ask if.”
And it souds like this.
may I ask if, may I ask if

Next let’s have the schwa sound in “you” become “you.”
you
And it will join “have any.”
you have any, you have any

All right.
“Food allergies” the /d/ sound will be very weak.
food allergies, food allergies.

All right.
We’ll join “allergies” and “or.”
food allergies or, food allergies or
food allergies or dietary restrictions, food allergies or dietary restrictions

All right.
Now let’s try to put it together.
・May I ask if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions?

All right.
Even at natural speed, we won’t go too fast
because this is an important question.
So we want to be clear.
・May I ask if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions?
・May I ask if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions?

All right.
It’s important to master that once I keep on practicing
until it feels natural.
Good work.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. If you are asked about allergies, you feel safe or protected, right?

David
▶︎ It does make me feel reassured that they are considering peoples’ needs
even though I don’t have any restrictions or allergies. It’s good to know they think about it.

Roza
▶︎ That’s right.
