Linking: a, an + 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 the indefinite article: an.
Normally, it is unstressed, pronounced: /әn/.
And…it links to words that begin with a vowel sound.
