How To Sound Like A Native English Speaker: Connected Speech

The video tutorial explains features of connected speech, focusing on intrusion, linking, and elision. Intrusion involves adding sounds to ease transitions between words, such as the intrusive R, yuh, and w sounds. Linking connects consonant and vowel sounds across word boundaries. Elision involves omitting sounds, particularly in complex consonant clusters or unstressed syllables. Practical examples illustrate these concepts, with caution advised against overuse, which can lead to non-standard accents.
