Why "HIS" Disappears Twice | David's Phone #6

Why does "his" vanish—TWICE—in one sentence? The H drops both times, turning "his" into just "iz." 🎯 Practice this sentence 20 times: https://www.lingualeap.ai/shadowing/d... In this video, you'll decode the sentence: "His heart beats fast as he raises his hand to knock." 🔊 SOUND SECRETS REVEALED: • "his" → "iz" (happens TWICE in this sentence!) • "he" drops its H in the middle of a sentence (contrast with Episode 5) • "to" shrinks to just "t" • The rhythm sounds like a heartbeat—because it IS one 📚 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: • Why H-dropping happens with "his" and "he" • The position rule: "he" keeps H at sentence start, drops it in the middle • The 4 strong beats: HEART · FAST · RAIS(es) · KNOCK • How short, punchy consonants mirror David's anxiety 🥁 THE RHYTHM: This sentence pounds like a heartbeat. Four strong beats—heart, fast, raises, knock—with all the little words (his, as, he, to) squeezed in between. The rhythm matches the tension: David's heart is racing. 🔗 LIAISONS: • heart-beats (T flows into B) • beats-fast (TS connects to F) • as-he (Z connects to E) • hand-to (D meets T) 🗣️ SHADOWING PRACTICE: At the end of this video, shadow with me 3 times.
