Sentences #18 - REVEALED
How did you do?
I don’t know what happened!?!?! I followed the recipe to a T.
These are the things that might have tripped you up:
The dropped t + n-n connection in don’t know, which makes it sound like dunno. I don’t know is #1 on the list of English phrases that are hard to hear & understand.
The reduced sound in what, which makes that whole phrase low and unstressed ei dunno whut
The pronunciation of the word recipe, which comes from French and doesn’t really follow the normal pronunciation rules in English.
A new vocabulary expression, to a T, meaning ‘exactly’
The addition of a wa sound to to a, which makes it sound like toowa
