🔰 Sounds twinning (gemination)


When a word ends in a consonant sound and the following word begins with the same consonant sound, we don't pronounce two sounds - both sounds are pronounced together as one.

✨I'm a bit tired.
✨We have a lot to do.
✨Tell me what to say.
✨She's slept for three hours.
✨I've finished.

🔰Sounds change (assimilation)3️⃣


Sometimes more than one feature of connected speech happens at the same time. Here, we’ll hear about ellision, when the sounds /t/ or /d/ occur between two consonant sounds, they will often disappear completely from the pronunciation. This means that the last sound of the word will be different and can be changed by the following word.

✨Hand bag. She couldn't find her handbag. (hambag)
✨Saint Paul's. I'm going to visit Saint Paul's Cathedral today. (Sem Paul's)
