Roza: Akino Roza here.

Did you hear that Kenny is promoted? He jumped for joy when he heard this. I’m really happy for him. He has a value to this.

Roza: Woo, all right everyone, it’s time for my favorite corner, pronunciation polish, yeah. All right, let’s take a look at today’s sentence. “I work up late for some reason” …

All right, there are three core concepts here, let’s zoom in on each. First is linking work and up, work up …

All right, next the t, e at the end of late are silent, so let’s try, late …

OK, last up is the o in for and the o in some. These two become that /ə/ sound. They are very short, so let’s practice. for … some … for some … for some reason …

All right, let’s put the whole thing together.

• I woke up late for some reason.

One more time.
