Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?

David
▶︎ OK, everyone. It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
Here is today’s phrase.
・Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?
・Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?

This phrase is very important to me.
So let’s master it together, all right?
We have a few areas to focus on.
First up is the /t/ sound in “don’t” will disapear.
don’t, don’t
don’t push, don’t push

All right.
Next up is the schwa sound in “yourself.”
yourself
don’t push yourself

All right.
Next up we’ll join “hard” and “ok.”
hard ok, hard ok
too hard ok, too hard ok

All right.
Now let’s put it all together.
・Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?
・Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?

Try to master the intonation, yeah?
Now let’s go in natural speed.
・Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?
・Don’t push yourself too hard, OK?

Great work.
I know you want to master this quickly.
But don’t push yourself too hard, OK?
