English Pronunciation - Linking: Consonant to Vowel -- American Accent

ESL: This video covers a linking concept: when one work ends with a consonant and the next begins with a vowel or a diphthong, put the ending consonant sounds at the beginning of the next word to help link.

Rachel THANK YOU VERY MUCH for uploading these videos you are the best teacher of english pronunciation that I found on the web. Your clips have helped me a lot . . . . thank you for your hard work !!

[@paulogramatica4087]

I love Rachel's English so much. Thank you for sharing your expertise Miss Rachel. Paul here from Philippines :-)

[@rachelsenglish]

Yes, it's hard when slowing down speech to make it sound exactly as it should when it's at a faster, normal pace!! :)

[@rachelsenglish]

Yes, that would be a nice linking ending consonant to beginning vowel example.

[@rachelsenglish]

When I say your two examples, my lips lightly make both positions. Remember that B is a stop consonant, and doesn't have to be released. Hope this helps!

[@rachelsenglish]

That works. You will also hear natives reduce the vowel in 'do' to the schwa sound: Wuh-duh-yuh want?

[@TheLanguageSounds]

I've always given this particular piece of advice to my students. It's nice to know it's a thing... not just me and my weird classes.

[@englishlearning9557]

Very useful for non-native speaker. Outstanding Tutorial.

[@talkwhat366]

Best example for the phonetic definition of liaison on the net! 10/10

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks a lot!

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi Bobbie, remember, it's always a choice. So there isn't just one right way. I think I would always link THAT to ACCENT. So for #2, yes, I would link that, but some people might make a more clear CH, which would separate it somewhat from 'accents'. Usually in a thought group we do link. So, I think it would be very natural to link OF and ENGLISH. (I recently did a video on the reduction of 'of' and linking. Did you see it?) Best, Rachel

[@rachelsenglish]

Yes, you will sometimes hear -ing pronounced as -in'. It's ok in some cases, but if you do it all the time it will not sound like the standard American accent.

[@shohelzaman1017]

I appreciate your way of teaching. I am from Bangladesh, a small country from south asia.

[@marionnyny7373]

Really well done. I'm recommending these to my students at all different levels. I love that you have such a neutral (American) accent. I've listened to so many others who are great teachers, but have pronounced regional accents.

[@FamuzzAmuzz]

Hi, native American speaker here :P Not that I'm trying to steal Rachel's job, but I think I can help answer your question! 1. "That" and "accent" put together would sound like "thadaccent", because in American English, when a "t" is between two vowel sounds it becomes a "d". 2. Yes, it'd sound like "frenchaccents" when spoken. 3. It would sound like "uhveenglish", with a "v", since "of" is actually pronounced with a "v" at the end instead of an "f". I usually say "lotta" (lahdduh) for lot of :P

[@rachelsenglish]

@arthurrr2006 In "what's up" -- the T is not between two vowels (it is part of the TS consonant cluster). In "what's it" it's the same, at TS sound. But in "what is it" -- without the contraction, the T in what is now between two vowel sounds, so it will most likely be flapped by a native speaker.

[@Jess-bz3pp]

Thank you! I think you are one of the best English teacher on youtube. I speak Swedish and moved to America 9 months ago, at first it was so hard for me to speak English at all, but thanks to you and being around native speakers it is getting easier for me every day! But I have still big troubles to pronounce some words.. Like near, fear, girl, really, horror, mirror. It is like it is not possible for my my mouth to make those sounds. Help!

[@rachelsenglish]

+Jessica Björklund I have videos on some of those words. You can find them in the 'search' on my website (murder too, which is kind of like 'mirror'). So glad my videos are helping!

[@hoangpham6912]

hello jessica. i want to make friend with you and improve my english skills :)

[@biancagaskins4699]

I am going to approval my sound of consonant and vowel and it help me a lot of what I learn from rachels.

[@rachelsenglish]

Definitely your lips would need to come together for the P, but you don't need to release the air, you can just go into the next sound. Best, Rachel

[@ЛюдмилаПавличенко-в6ф]

As a usual awesome and I got many useful things to make my American more connected and vivid

[@rachelsenglish]

[@caleb9193]

[@lucasnguyen87]

great, Rachel. With love from Vietnam

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks Lucas!

[@lucasnguyen87]

@@rachelsenglish I listened to your podcast on Realife English of Ethan last night. I got more interesting ideas

[@DethWulf]

As a native English speaker from California, watching videos like this makes me realize how awkward it must sound to non-native speakers, haha. Good series!

[@simbee3634]

Just a note - turning a final t into a d when linking is not English - it's American. When linkiing those sentences in english English, the 't' stays a 't' sound. It is one of the key differences between the two dialects.

[@aminayahia5869]

Hello Rachel , thank you for your efforts. You are very wonderful, your style is great, I am Arabic and I am still learning English. Please help me where to start and what to start ... I understand almost everything you say but I can not speak ... Please help me learn English Deeply

[@rachelsenglish]

Keep practicing! The most important part of learning is maintaining a positive attitude and getting even more interested in learning when you find sounds or concepts that you find challenging. Go slow and remember that over time, even with short daily practice sessions, you will improve!

[@Hashmayah]

thank you very much I try to learn English and this is help me

[@ernestorivera3095]

thanks Rachel... you are a awesome person... besides beautiful

[@MEMANGELSISTERhere]

[@yassminyt241]

tank you very muche rachel

[@HuyThanVan]

Thanks Rachel, It's help me so much!

[@rachelsenglish]

@WatchdogToClergy Yes, but I would reduce FOR to schwa/R.

[@loneumer6991]

It's beautiful, do all Americans connect words like this.

[@rachelsenglish]

They may not do it all the time - but most Americans do speak with a connected quality - yes! :)

[@jorgeaguirrec.3950]

My heartiest coigratulations Rachel for all the detailed explanations you always give to your students. I always have enjoyed a lot your lessons. However, there is a failure, according to my point of view: the closed caption has been changed to Spanish and it is a mistake because what we need is English everywhere. Closed caption in English makes you think and understand in English while Spanish C.C. makes you slow down your progress and speed of answering and understanding. Would there be a chance to go back to English C.C., please?

[@aliosama936]

Thanks you for your effort

[@ProcesoEstocastico]

Hi Rachel, I heard there's also a consonant to consonant linking, like f with v, or z with, maybe you could make a video about it :)

[@raphaelmwakapalila7253]

[@mgmg-lp2gg]

Thanks

[@davidpanezramirez8565]

Thank you very much, Rachel. Please keep helping us with English

[@rachelsenglish]

@VukWolf23 awesome!

[@rachelsenglish]

1) Yes. Example: "hear a": hee-ruh 2) Some people are dropping their jaw more, making it a bigger vowel than the schwa. 3) If it's done well, that could sound normal in a sentence.

[@erimas44]

Good Job Rachel! thank uuuu So much.

[@rachelsenglish]

You can link vowel to vowel too, and I'm working on a video for linking consonant to consonant! :)

[@sergiotaki9]

Great lesson, Rach!!

[@israeljoshua9442]

Thank you soo..much....

[@thienvo3203]

thanks you

[@sonhoangduc8184]

Hello Rachel. "Ten hour a day". The way you spoke After linking those words. I think the /n/ sound in the word "ten " still affects that word. It's more like /tɛn.aʊ ər.zə.dei/ to me. (I just started learning English so my grammar sucks. hope you know what i mean). Love your youtube channel. Always !

[@rachelsenglish]

Thanks Son!

Just so freaking good!

[@grooveonee]

I'm so grateful for ur clips :D really helpful all the time !! u r the best English pronunciation teacher !!!

[@Yuliana_lisova]

Wow! Awesome!

[@magedgerges6549]

why did you pronounce What's it ( di zit ) but what's up ( tsup) Although "T" comes between two vowels thanx in advance

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! I actually didn't contract "what is" into "what's" in "what is it" - because I did pronounce the 'is' I used the Flap T to link 'what' and 'is' together. In "What's up?", I'm contracting 'what' and 'is' together and eliminating the vowel sound. Because of that I will use a Stop T.
