Linking: word final /s, z, Iz/ + vowel sound

Saturday, March 16, 2019 by Eva Easton 15 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 connect words together. You link them.

In this lesson, we’re going to practice consonant sound plus vowel sound.


And now it’s your turn.
Here’s your audio pronunciation quiz.
Which phrase do you hear?

    Glad to accommodate you. 🙂 I’ve spent 6 weeks on this one…trying to pull together a story line … plus explanation of the pattern … and then to simplify…simplify…simply.

    One thing, though. You can’t really get a reservation for the Statue of Liberty overnight. They lady must have come to New York in the middle of January.

    Thank you, Angel.

    I’m glad my work is useful to you.

    Do you have to take a test or are you learning because of your own interest?

    Take care.
