E263: 🎙️ Welcome to another bonus episode of The English Like a Native Podcast, exclusively for Plus Members. In today's session, we're diving deep into the nuances of pronunciation, specifically focusing on numbers.
🔢 In our last episode, we delved into expressions concerning age, and now it's time to tackle a common pronunciation hurdle: numbers in the tens and thousands. Let's start with the big one: "thousand." With its tricky combination of sounds, it's often mispronounced. From the initial "th" sound to the subtle "und" at the end, we'll break it down step by step to ensure clarity and precision.
🗣 Moving on to the tens, such as "twenty," "thirty," and beyond, we'll address the tendency to drop certain consonants and vowels, emphasising the importance of maintaining clear articulation, even if native speakers sometimes relax these sounds. To practice, we'll do a guided repetition from twenty to fifty-five, focusing on each number's pronunciation and rhythm.
