Sunday, December 30, 2018 by Eva Easton 9 Comments

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.
