Alright everyone, it’s time for today’s pronunciation polish.
First let’s check out today’s sentence.
Was he a person of some importance?
/wəz hi ə ˈpɜːrsn əv sʌm ɪmˈpɔːrtəns/
All right. Lots of points here, but let’s zoom in and practice them together.
First up is was plus he. When linking the H in words like he, his, him and her disappear. So listen closely.
Was he => Then we add the a and it becomes => was he a (wasea)
Was he a person
Alright. Person plus of becomes person of. -Great work.
Some here, that o sound is nice and short, becomes ə, some
-> plus importance -> some importnance
A person of some importance
Alright. Let’s put all together. You can do it.
Was he a person of some importance?
/wəz hi ə ˈpɜːrsn əv sʌm ɪmˈpɔːrtəns/
All right. When you learn the patterns, it becomes easier and easier to do these on your own. And it’s easy when you listen to other people speaking. So, keep it up and you’ll do better.
