★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
This video will teach you how to speak more fluently by linking sounds from one word to the next. In natural speech words often flow together and then sound like one. This happens in particular when words end in a consonant sound and the word following starts with a vowel sound. For example, in the phrase ‘a lot of’ the word ‘lot’ ends in the consonant sound /t/ and the word ‘of’ starts with the vowel sound /ɒ/. When we use this phrase in a sentence (e.g. I do a lot of sport at the weekend’) the /t/ joins with the vowel sound in ‘of’ and it sounds more like /tɒf/. This is a natural feature of connected speech and important for students to learn if they would like to speak faster and more fluently. This video is Part 1 in which we focus on linking from consonant to vowel sounds between word boundaries. For linking from consonant to consonant and vowel to vowel sound please have a look at video Part 2 here: https://bit.ly/2U1sG1H
