Linking Pattern #2: Vowel Sound /y, w/ + Vowel Sound
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 #2: Vowel Sound /y, w/ + Vowel Sound.
And now it’s your turn.
Here’s your audio pronunciation quiz.
Listen to each audio.
What is the correct answer to the question?

The question, last but one, about Wright Brothers… is damn difficult to be understood…sorry. However first class lesson, anyway. muaaaaaaaaa
I have a doubt over-> I am and they are.
1) I /aɪ/= aɪy-> aɪy æm-> aɪ yæm, or then:
2) I/ay/= ay-> ay æm->a yæm (according to the lesson)
1) they /ðeɪ/= ðeɪy-> ðeɪy a-ɚ-> ðeɪ ya-ɚ
2) they /ðeɪ/= ðey-> ðey a-ɚ-> ðe ya-ɚ (according to the lesson)
Question: is alternative 1) false?
what happens to words ending in /ɔ /? ex. I foresaw a better day
aɪ fɚ´sɔ ə ´bɛt̬ɚ dey
I didn´t foresaw any trouble
ay dɪdn fɚr´sɔ ´ɛnɪ ´trʌbᵊl
law and order
lɔ ən ´ɔrdɚ

It’s fun to learn things.
