Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to speak
naturally in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Sunday with a quick one point lesson to help you
improve your pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. And if you want
to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English podcast
on YouTube now. In every day spoken American English, when
a word ends with an e sound and the next
word starts with a vowel sound, we often connect those
sounds with a very small, quick why sound. I call
this the tiny why, like see it. We don't stop
the sound, and in one breath we say see it.
It's not see it, it's see it. Like that movie
I'm Gonna see you tomorrow. Did you hear the tiny
why I'm gonna see you tomorrow. Here are some other examples.
She is sounds like she is. She is the boss.
We are sounds like we are. We are happy to
see you. Many apples sounds like many apples. There are
many apples on the table. This tiny why keeps the
flow smooth and natural. For sure to practice these phrases
yourself this week and they'll become part of your English. Hey,
thanks for listening, and remember to follow and subscribe so
you won't miss the next Happy English podcast and next
week's Speak Naturally in a Minute. Until next time, keep
learning and keep it coolish.
