👦🏻Why is your mom angry with you, Lisa?

A: Each word is okay, but the word "your" needs more practice. When all the words are pronounced together, it is clear and easy to understand for native English speakers.

In comparison, when you really want to remove that accent, you have to practice the whole sentence as well.

I know you are trying very hard, which is good!!! but it is not natural just yet. In English, we have a flow of speech and we say this as speech fluidity rather than speech fluency.

I am not expecting you to know this on Day 1, but keep practising and you'll look back at this and know the subtle differences.

Overall good job! :))
