Hi everyone!
This week, I have dwelled on linking the sounds or words of English as I really have difficulty in this issue. I cannot speak English fluently as it is my L2. I cannot connect words or sounds as if they are one word. On the contrary I utter the words separately as if they are 2 different poles. And this mistake results in an unnatural pronunciation. To solve this problem I've made some research about it. I've found a website which explains how we should lik the words/sounds while we are speaking. There are 6 different ways of linking words to the website. If you're interested in this issue, here is the link. On this website, 2 examples are given for each rule. I tried to pronounce/link the words correctly in my recording.
Also, I've found a video on youtube which stresses on this issue.The video directs you to practice few sentences/tongue twisters in a linked way. You can listen those sentences in my recording and also you can find more information about them from the video.
In conclusion, after practising those sentences and words, I have become more aware of those linking rules. Let me give an example, ''She watched television.'' when we utter this sentence we can recognize that the verb 'watched' ends with the /t/ sound and the word 'television' begins with the /t/ sound. When we have a case like this, 2 same sounds together, we should pronounce one of the /t/ sounds.
I hope this awareness of the rules helps my pronunciation as well.
See you.
