Well guys, you know, what’s next? It’s time to practice our pronunciation. Today’s phrase is one of my favorite phrases and I encourage you to use it as well. Here it is!
-Congratulations! I’m so proud of you.
All right, so, let’s go through the practice points together.
The first point is linking between proud of. Repeat after me. -proud of -And now, the “y” sound of you. -you -proud of you -I’m so proud of you. -Great. Now, let’s practice congratulations. Remember, this word always has an S, but it doesn’t come out very strong, like this. -Congratulations! Really feel that rhythm. Congratulations! All right. Let’s do both sentences together.
-Congratulations! I’m so proud of you.
-Excellent! Are you ready to practice that natural speed? All right. Let’s go!
-Congratulations! I’m so proud of you. -One more time!
-Congratulations! I’m so proud of you.
Excellent work. It really helps if you really smile as you practice these sentences as well. Great work!
