Linking pattern #4: /t/ + /y/= /t͡ʃ/
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 #4: /t/ + /y/ = /t͡ʃ/.
And now it’s your turn.
Here’s your audio pronunciation quiz.
Which sentence do you hear?
Linking /t/ + /y/ … or no linking?
We link t => /t͡ʃ/ in other places, too
Thank you. It’s very helpful!
I absolutely love the way you teach us
Thank you, Frisko. I’m glad you find my work useful. Eva

thank you for helping
Thank you, Taufik.
Thank you very much for all your help.
Thank you Camino.
Linking is a very important element of American English pronunciation. If we can understand how words are combined, we can understand native speakers better.
Thank you.

I love your lessons, however, in this one I think there is a mistake on the key of exercise #10. it says “no /t͡ʃ/”, it is ok for the first instance, but not truly in the second one. “how did cut͡ʃour finger?”
Howdy,
Take a look at this page and you find the reason for the sound /t͡ʃ/: https://www.evaeaston.com/linking-4-ch/
When we link t + y ==> /t͡ʃ/
Take care.
