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’re going to practice linking pattern #1: word final -ed /dId/ + vowel sound.
And now it’s your turn.
Here’s your audio pronunciation quiz.
Listen to each audio.
