Linking: There’s a hole in my bucket

Saturday, June 6, 2020 by Eva Easton 5 Comments

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 link them.

In this video, we practice linking in
the song “There’s a hole in my bucket.”


Now it’s your turn.
Here’s your audio pronunciation quiz.
