Allow me to breakdown the words to express some of the most common meats that you'll come across so that you always know what you're doing at the dinner table.

Job interviews can be terrifying, and I want to make sure that you're as prepared as can be to get the job you deserve. For this reason I asked my friend Dee, a job interview expert, to join us and explain exactly how a non-native English speaker can best prepare for an upcoming English interview.

Be sure to take notes as Dee provides key details on how to present yourself, and how to answer the tough questions of "tell me about yourself", and "what is your greatest weakness?"

Blending sounds helps to eliminate the choppy sound from your speech. Sometimes sounds blend between words, and sometimes to transition smoothly between sounds within a word.

When D precedes u in an unstressed syllable, blend the sounds together. This habit will help you to better control your stress and transitions between sounds.

Have you ever wondered what subtle changes you can make to your spoken English to close the gap between yourself and native English speakers? Learning how to pronounce "of" and use it to connect your speech can really help you on this mission!
The pronunciation of of changes depending on both the context, and the word following of. Considering this is an unstressed function word, we keep the word of quick, short, and use it to connect words.
Of is either pronounced as uv, or uh,  with a schwa sound, but never "off".

Regardless of the cost, I want to be the first of many.

Reducing Of in American Idioms:
Piece of CakeSomething done with ease

The difference between the words "Loose" and "Lose" is in both the length of the vowel, and the sound made by S. In "loose", S is voiceless, while "lose" makes S sound like Z.
Listen along and improve your own ability to lengthen your vowel sounds, and change S to Z sounds.
