In this episode we explore the topic of connected speech. Learning about this will help you so much with your listening, when people speak quickly!We tend to connect words when a word ends in a consonant and the next word starts in a vowel (Put it - putit). Also, when one word ends in a vowel and the next word starts in a vowel. In some cases we add a W or Y sound (I agree - iyagree, go out - gowout)And when a sound is repeated like big game, nice smile. (Nismile)We also have elision where consonants in clusters are sometimes omitted, for example with interested.There are so many tips in this live I think this is one to listen to all the way through!
