Pronunciation Polish
Today’s Sentence：I don’t want to reduce options.
Roza
▶︎ OK, guys. Will you join me for some “Pronunciation Polish”?
All right.
Today’s sentence is …
・I don’t want to reduce options.
・I don’t want to reduce options.
Today we’ll be focusing on the pronunciation of “don’t want to,”
and “options.”
So let’s start with “don’t.”
It’s that disappearing /t/.
don’t, don’t
I don’t, I don’t
Next, “want to.”
Repeat.
want to, want to
I don’t want to
All right.
Now let’s do “options.”
The /s/ is weakened.
options, options
reduce options
Let’s do the full sentence now.
・I don’t want to reduce options.
OK.
I think you’re ready for natural speed.
Let’s go.
・I don’t want to reduce options.
One last time.
・I don’t want to reduce options.
How was it?
I hope you enjoyed today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
I did.
Keep on going.
