Okay, everyone. It’s time for today’s pronunciation polish. First, here’s today’s phrase.

We have a couple of points to focus on today. Let’s start with the first three words.

Let’s try it one more time. -were you able -were you able to -were you able to locate? -All right. Next, we have what and you. Let’s join those sounds together. It sounds like what you. -what you. -really good. -that were here at the end is similar to the front, so -we were looking for. -What you were looking for?
Alright, let’s put it all together and make one nice complete sentence.
-Were you able to locate what you were looking for?

Facing the window, maybe. Hey guys, could you explain a bit?
Sure. It’s kind of like giving one option of a possibility. So imagine you’re holding your hands, and option A is in one hand and option B is in the other. You raise one hand to consider you raise another hand to consider. Maybe this, maybe this. This one maybe? That’s how it feels.
