Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：〜, though I’d lean toward a fuel-efficient compact.

▶︎ Hey, guys. You don’t need any space before practicing your pronunciation, right?
All right. Let’s go.
Today’s phrase is …
・〜, though I’d lean toward a fuel-efficient compact.
・〜, though I’d lean toward a fuel-efficient compact.

Today we’ll be going over linking, and the weakened /d/ and /t/s
at the end of “I’d,” “efficient,” and “compact.”
Let’s go through them.
Repeat after me.
I’d,
I’d lean, I’d lean
though I’d lean

Now let’s do “toward a.”
toward a
toward a fuel-efficient, toward a fuel-efficient
fuel-efficient compact
toward a fuel-efficient compact

All right.
Let’s do the full sentence together.
・〜, though I’d lean toward a fuel-efficient compact.

OK.
Great work.
Now let’s do the natural speed.
