◆ Pronunciation Polish
=======================
(12:36)
D: All right everyone, it's time for today's Pronunciation Polish. Let's jump right in with today's phrase.
- Have you ever been there?
- Have you ever been there?
All right. Today's question is super high frequency. So, let's master it. So, you can use it in your everyday conversation. First up is "have." That ハ sound will disappear. Let's try.
- have (ァヴ)
- have (ァヴ)
Very nice. Next up, that long ウー sound in "you." Let's shorten that up.
- you (ヤッ)
- you (ヤッ)
Put them together.
- have you (ァヴ ヤッ！)
- have you (ァヴ ヤッ！)
All right. Next up, the "been there." The ン sound and デ sound will combine.
- been there (ビンデァ～)
- been there (ビンデァ～)
All right. Let's put it together, slowly at first and then speed up.
- Have you ever been there?
- Have you ever been there?
All right, and a little more natural.
- Have you ever been there?
All right. Because this is high frequency, you'll hear native speaker say this very quickly. "Have you ever been there?" You don't have to master that speed just yet, but let's get used to it. Great work today.

O: How about you, Roza?
R: Well, I mean, I do that regularly even when there is no traffic. So, it's the same for me.

D: I do that, too!
O: Oh, really.
D: Yeah, like the left side minus the right side.
O: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
D: Yeah, I play that game, too. Yeah!!
O: ねえ、みんな、渋滞に巻き込まれたとき、車の中で何してる？
D: 正直なところ、音楽の音量を上げてカラオケの練習をする時間だね。
O: ローザはどう？
R: うーん、私の場合は渋滞がなくてもいつもやってるから、別に変わらないかな。
D: 先生はどうですか？何をやっているんですか？
D: 僕もやっています！
O: ああ、本当ですか。
D: そう、左側から右側を引く感じで。

Last up is that "it." The "t (トッゥ)" sound will disappear.
- it (イッ)
- it (イッ)
- to do it (タドゥイッ)

- how to do it
All right. Let's do front half and back half and then put it together.
- I'll need you to tell me

- how to do it
All right, I think you're ready for the full sentence. Here we go.
