we should beware means we should be careful maybe the context was about a storm or a natural disaster

I think you're just not used to their pronunciation because it sounds perfectly fine to me. A lot of English words sound like other English words in the normal flow of speech, but context and logic dictate which one someone means.

@silkgrass "dictate" means to command or control something, yes. As for you still hearing "sandat", I don't really know what to say, because the slowed-down version to me still sounds like "said that". I think you're over-thinking this slightly; pronunciation isn't always going to have a perfect division between sounds and words run into each other and sound slightly different all the time.
