Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation workshop. Here I'm gonna show you how English is

命令形

really spoken.  Come on, let's go inside.

最上級形容詞

In English, we have an expression - man's best friend. Do you know what that refers to?

Voice: Beer! Tim: No, not beer. Dogs. A dog is man's best friend.

But not always. What would you say to a dog who did this?

Now, the word bad ends in the sound /d/, doesn't it? Or does it? Watch and listen again. Can you

In fluent speech, a /d/ changes to a /g/ when it comes before a /g/ or a /k/. So /bad girl/

becomes /bagirl/. This is an example of assimilation. And here are some more examples.

I'd love to walk down the red carpet one day.

Right, so you've heard the examples and now it's your turn. You know the drill: listen and repeat!

Well done. Now remember, if you want to learn more about pronunciation, then please visit our website,

bbclearningenglish dot com. And that is about it from the Pronunciation workshop for now.

I'll see you soon. Bye! Now, you know what, I'm not really that keen on dogs, I'm more

of a cat person. Oh no, no, no that was just a joke - good girl, good girl, aaah! Oh, very

funny. You're actually quite cute. Who's a good girl? Who's a good girl? Argh! Bad girl!
