English words with DISAPPEARING syllables!

from Espresso English Podcast

The pronunciation of many English words sounds different from the way they appear to be written. Some English words have "disappearing or dropped syllables" - reductions or eliminations of sounds in the middle of the word. One example is the word favorite - we don't pronounce it FAV-o-rit with three syllables. Instead, we say it more like FAV-rit - the "o" syllable disappears. In today's lesson, you're going to practice pronouncing some of the most common English words that tend to have dropped syllables. If you're having difficulty with pronunciation, the key is to practice repeatedly and consistently! You can get that practice inside my Pronunciation & Shadowing Courses. There are lots of exercises for you to listen and repeat, and at the end you get a pronunciation evaluation. When you buy both these courses together, you get a discount, so you can get a lot of pronunciation training for a great price :-) 👉 Learn more inside the American English Pronunciation Course: https://www.espressoenglish.net/american-english-pronunciation-course/
