[@raminouri2718]

Frankly speaking, you are one of the top teachers I have ever come across. Your videos are very helpful and up to the point. You are a gifted teacher with no doubt. I have followed many teachers introducing the same lesson. The way you introduce your lessons❤ is so different. There some sort of smoothness in presenting ideas, and this is what makes lesson very enjoyable and interesting.

Hi there. I am benefiting a lot from your channel. I need a practice tip on the below. How to say these sentences without much struggle and how to connect the 'S' sounds between words and how to glide from an 'S' sound to an 'SH' sound between two words. 1. He is so shy 2. She was shy

This is so easy to understand! Thank you very much

[@BillieEnglish]

Thank you for watching & commenting! Your example for elision (/t/ in 'must' is lost) and for intrusion (/w/ appears between 'do' and 'it') are both fine! Well done! Where do you think assimilation happens in your example?

[@kenzataouint8234]

@@BillieEnglish assimilation I guess happens with /t/ sound , it becomes /k/ Is it true?
