Pergunta sobre Inglês (EUA)
I'm trying to say "I still have to comb my hair" but I don't think I'm saying "comb my" naturally.
It's hard because of the B followed by M. I feel like there's no way of saying all the letters without pausing between those two.
So, can I just drop the B and pronounce it like "to com my hair"? soa natural?

Natural
The 'b' in comb is silent. So you're not supposed to pronounce it.

@Andy995: It sounds a bit like you are saying "come" not "comb."
Forget about the b. It's basically silent. Imagine another m instead.
The more important part of the
pronounciation is the "co" part of "comb."
It should be pronounced like "kohm" when alltogether.

@Andy995: Yeah that's a lot better! :) Just so you know, people will understand what you mean even if your pronounciation is a little off! The important thing is to keep practicing, and remember that people love accents. 😉

Um pouco artificial
You could try saying " I still need to brush my hair" instead of comb might help, as it is the same meaning 😊
