American English Pronunciation

Linking: consonant sound + vowel sound

by 45 Comments

Linking is a basic element of American English Pronunciation.
In a dictionary, words are given in isolation.
In natural speech, however, you don’t say words separately.
You connect words together. You link them.

In this lesson, we practice linking pattern #1:
consonant sound + vowel sound

And now it’s your turn.

    • Thank you, Ali.

      Understanding linking is essential to understanding native speakers.

      I’ve taught linking to my students for many years. I’ve finally put it online and now everyone knows this “secret” to the music of English.
