Short sentences

/ɔ/ in short sentences

These short sentences put /ɔ/ in everyday contexts. Read at a natural pace — don't over-emphasize the target.

Tips

  • Don't pause artificially before target words
  • Keep function words reduced (a, the, of, for → short schwa)
  • Let stress fall naturally on content words
