Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：We’ll refund it to your card. It may take a few days to process.

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. hiraicohbi

It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
So let’s jump right in.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・We’ll refund it to your card. It may take a few days to process.
・We’ll refund it to your card. It may take a few days to process.

All right.
We have lots of little points today.
So let’s focus on them, and master it together.
First up, we have “refund it to.”
Let’s join these three words together.
Focus on how it sounds, and
do your best to copy my pronuncitaion, OK?
refund it to, refund it to

All right. Good.
Next we have the schwa sound in “your.”
It sounds like this.
your, your

And the weakened /d/ sound in “card.”
your card, your card

OK.
“It may take” the /t/ sound will disappear.
it may take, it may take

And we’ll join “take a” together.
take a,
it may take a
it may take a few days to pricess

OK.
Let’s go both sentences and then put them together,
・We’ll fund it to your card. It may take a few days to process.

OK. Let’s go both sentences.
・We’ll refund it to your card. It may take a few days to process.

All right.
And one time for natural speed.
・We’ll refund it to your card. It may take a few days to process.

All right.
It’s a mouthful.
But if you can get through it, you’re better than when you started.
Great job.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. Have you returned any shopping items recently?

David
▶︎ On, not recently. I used to have to all the time when I wasn’t used to
difference in Japan sizes versus Amercan sizes.

Roza
▶︎ You know, I haven’t returned anything in a really long time until recently
where I retunred a container because I found a better container in a different part
of the home center.
