8. pronunciation note

write one of the example sentences from the picture on the board and circle the word than. say, when we say the word than, we say it quickly. you don't hear very much of the sound. it sounds almost like this. give several examples, pronouncing the word than lightly and quickly. play the tape again to demonstrate this pronunciation point.
