Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. I suggest we practice our pronunciation.
Are you ready for today’s phrase?
Here we go!
・I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.
・I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

We have a couple of areas to focus in on today.
Let’s start with the weakened /t/ sound in “suggest.”
It’s very small. Let’s listen.
suggest, suggest
suggest hiring

Let’s join up “hiring” and “a.”
hiring a, hiring a
I suggest hiring a

All right.
The /t/ sound in “at” will disappear.
at, at

And let’s join up “least” and “temporarily.”
least temporarily

Oh, hold on.
Let’s practice the pronunciation of “temporarily” together, yeah?
Let’s go slowly.
temporarily, temporarily
at least, temporarily

All right.
Don’t worry if it’s not perfect.
Let’s try to put it all together.
・I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

All right.
Let’s go at full speed.
・I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

One more time.
・I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temprarily.

All right.
Keep on practicing,
and you will get better.
