Answer key
- Who's your friend?“Who’s” is the short form of “who is”. Listen for the z sound before “your”.
- Where are you from?“Are you” is spoken quickly, almost like “ar-ya”. The question ends with “from”.
- I am from a small town.The small word “a” before “small town” is weak and easy to miss.
- Marsha is my roommate.“Roommate” is one word: a person who shares a home with you.
- Remember to call Marsha at work.“To” is weak here, like “tə”. “At work” means at the place where she works.
