Linking Words Together
When
you learn English by reading (as most people do) you tend to speak it word
by word. But real English is connected together and pronounced sound by
sound. Here are some examples of one kind of liaison (connection.)
|
Consonant
to Vowel Connections
Words are connected when a word ends in a consonant sound (b,
c, d, f, etc.) and the next word starts with a vowel sound (a,
e, i, o, u), including the semivowels W, Y and R.
Listen to the following. I will read it very slowly at first so you can
hear the connection. Then I will read it at normal speed.
You also use liaisons (connections) in spelling and numbers.
