• Reading a book is more relaxing than watching TV.
• I think it's more convenient to pay with a card than with cash.
• The movie was much better than I expected.

David: Amazing.

For me personally, driving a car is more fun than taking a train. But moving by train will give me less stress than by car. Both have pros and cons.

David: All right everyone. It's time for today's pronunciation polish. Here is today's phrase. "It's better to experience a concert live than to watch it on your phone" ...

All right. We have a long phrase today. Let's focus on each part, and build the full sentence together.

Let's start with than to. You hear the schwa sound and set of than to, it's than to ...

Next up, let's try experience a concert live. There are two main points here, first let's link experience a ...

Next up, the /t/ sound in concert will disappear. concert ... concert live, experience a concert live.

All right. Great. With that chunk finished, let's focus on the end. watch it on your phone, watch it on, all gets linked together. watch it on ... your phone. Again with the schwa sound yeah. your phone, watch it on your phone.

All right. Let's do the full sentence together. Here we go.

• It's better to experience a concert live than to watch it on your phone.

Wow, it's a long sentence, but I'm sure you did great.
