Pronunciation Polish
Today’s Sentence：I’d like to make a reservation for tonight.
Roza
▶︎ Hi, guys. I’d like to practice our pronunciation to gether if you don’t mind.
You ready?
Today’s sentence is …
・I’d like to make a reservation for tonight.
・I’d like to make a reservation for tonight.
There’re several different points to focus on.
First is the pronunciation of “like.”
The /k/ is weakened, almost dissapeared.
And then we go to “make a,”
and the pronunciation of “for” – the /ə/ sound,
and the disappearing /t/ in “tonight.”
Let’s go through them one by one.
Let’s begin with “like.”
I’d like, I’d like
I’d like to, I’d like to
Great work.
Monving on.
It’s “make a, make a.”
make a reservation, make a reservation
OK.
Keep going.
Now we’ll go to “for tonight.”
for, for
for tonight, for tonight
make a reservation for tonight,
I’d like to make a reservation for tongiht.
All right.
You ready to go at natural speed?
Let’s go.
・I’d like to make a reservation for tonight.
・I’d like to make a reservation for tonight.
Excellent work.
This one was a little bit difficult,
but if you didn’t get it perfectly,
keep on practicing in pieces, and you’ll get there.
I believe in you.
