Oggi volevamo chiarire la differenza di pronuncia tra “this” (questo) e “these” (questi). Anche se gli italiani non ne sbagliano spesso l’utilizzo, a volte la pronuncia li mette però in difficoltà.
Ascoltiamo la registrazione per notare la differenza tra la ‘i’ corta di “this”( /ðɪs/) e la ‘e’ lunga di “these” (/ðiːz/).
“This”
I really like this shirt, I think I’m going to try it on.
I’ll have this croissant please.

“These”
Do you prefer these colors for our new logo or those?

Senti la differenza quando vengono usate nella stessa frase.
This is my most recent project, but these are some that I’ve been working on for a while.
Now, provaci tu! Registrati, ripeti le frasi e poi ascoltati. Riesci a riprodurre la pronuncia corretta?! Rock on!
