Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：I’m really sorry, but something came up, and I won’t be able to make it.

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for your reservation for “Pronunciation Polish.”
And sorry, we don’t except cancellations.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・I’m really sorry, but something came up, and I won’t be able to make it.
・I’m really sorry, but something came up, and I won’t be able to make it.

Let’s practice each part and master it together.
First up, let’s join “came” and “up” together.
came up, came up

Next we’ll join “and I.”
and I, and I

Great job.
The /t/ sound in “won’t” will disappear.
won’t, won’t
won’t be able

All right.
Next up the schwa sound in “to.”
to, to

And let’s join up “make” and “it.”
make it
to make it
be able to make it
and I won’t be able to make it

All right.
Let’s put the whole sentence together slowly at first.
・I’m really sorry, but something came up, and I won’t be able to make it.

All right.
Let’s go one more at natural speed.
・I’m really sorry, but something came up, and I won’t be able to make it.

All right.
Good work.

Ending

Onishi
▶︎ Hey, guys. Restraurant no-shows have become a serious issue lately, right?

David
▶︎ Yeah, they can be very disruptive for businesses.
My rule is if you wouldn’t do it to a friend’s dinner party,
don’t do it to a restaurant.
