David: All right everybody, it's time for today's pronunciation polish.  First, here is today's phrase. "Life in Tokyo can make you a little stressed" ...

Lot's of little points to focus in on today. Let's start with Life in. Let's link these, OK? Life in ...

Next, can becomes much shorter, the weak vowel sound, can ... can make ...

Great, next is you. you becomes you, make you ...

Next, we have little, the two t-s are in the middle, little, it's a d sound, yeah? little ...

All right, and one more for us. The s-t-r pronunciation, /str/ ... stressed, a little stressed.

All right, now let's put these together and make the full sentence.

• Life in Tokyo can make you a little stressed

All right, great work today.

David: Well, I just hope you feel welcome here.

Onishi: というわけで、みなさんもしっかりと練習してくださいね。言葉は音が命ですよ。

All: Bye.
