Hello professor Thank you so much for your help and advice. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your follower from Algeria.
OMG this video is amazing! it helped me understand I was already connecting speech but thought I was speaking incorrectly. Even though I am not a native speaker, this video is given me more confidence to connect speech naturally!. God bless you for the amazing content you provide :)xxx
This is one of the best presentations on this subject that I have seen. I hope your young children will be old enough soon that you can get back to making videos again. I've been teaching English for 50 years in various parts of the world and in my "retirement" I'm helping my son with a project that helps English learners understand and use natural English in a real-world environment: the community of English-speaking video game enthusiasts (Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Minecraft. etc. :RUclips channel "Real English for Gamers") After watching your video, I will soon add a list of teachers like yourself on our supporting website by the same name, so aspiring gamers can brush up on the basics. You've saved us a lot of time.
good lesson, I used to struggle to speak fluently because I tried to pronounce every single word, everything was easier when I knew about these rules, however, I don't believe one can sound more natural just by using these rules. I say that because of documentaries on BBC, where the reporter speaks perfectly and they sounds English
Great questions! 1) We connect speech within "thought groups". Between those thought groups, we pause for a fraction of a second. If you watch the video on pausing, you can learn more about when to pause instead of connect. Otherwise, go ahead and connect all the C+Vs in a thought group! 2) When I read in my head, I do connect the speech and hear whatever speech I would hear if I were listening. However, I'm a native speaker, so it would be odd for me NOT to connect speech! Does that help? :)
your lesson alwas usefull because before this time i dont know about that so thank you and your videos very popular many people likes / and watch your videos in a acdmy, tution senter so thank you
I really love Elemental English! Your videos are simply amazing. For me, they are absolutely perfect. Your pronunciation and grammar lessons helped me a lot.Thank you! I'm looking forward for more videos from you!
thank you so much . i'm looking forward to your lesson . I have read a book , maybe pronunciation in use they stated that C + C When a word ends by a consonant / p /, / b /, / t /, / d /, / k /, / g / following words begin with a consonant, we don't speak these ending sounds eg: bad - judge stop - keep trying - speaking / baed-ʤʌʤ / / stɔp_traiiɳ / / ki: p_ spi: kiɳ /
These lessons about connected speech are just awesome. It is a very effective way to boost one's pronunciation. I have a question, though. How can I convince my students that this is very important? Because I have been telling them about CS for quite a long time, but they seem to ignore my speech. I guess it is very difficult for us, non-native speakers, to not only realize it, but also remember it when we are having a conversation. There is so much going on in our heads, "Did he understand me?" ,"Did I choose the right word?", How can I be funny?" that taking the time to actually remember to connect the words is kind of hard. That's where repetition takes its role. Repetition is the only exercise that one can do to create muscle memory. That is, the ability to do something without even feel that you are doing it. Thank you for the lesson. I am going to share it with my students and make it a regular practice. Pedro from English Forever - Brazil.
Really nice video - I love it! You helped me so much! But do the Native speakers just say wanna and gonna a.s.o. or do they also write it, for example in tests. Sorry if that's a weird question. Thank you so much for this video :)
That's a great question! Not weird at all. Native English speakers may write "wanna" or "gonna" in an informal email or text. But it's VERY informal, so it would never be in something for work or school. Usually, we just write it normally "want to" or "going to" and say it completely de-stressed, not even realizing how we change the language. Thanks for the nice compliments! :)
Thanks. I agree with everyone, very useful indeed. I actually want to use the song "footloose" in connection with this topic. Can you help identify the connected words in the lyrics? Many thanks.
This video is so great for all the Japanese who are learning American English.
Many Thanks!

When a word ends by a consonant / p /, / b /, / t /, / d /, / k /, / g / following words begin with a consonant, we don't speak these ending sounds
eg: bad - judge stop - keep trying - speaking
/ baed-ʤʌʤ / / stɔp_traiiɳ / / ki: p_ spi: kiɳ /
I like it! thank you
great vid! just wanted to see V+V linking as well, but there wasn't any example.

Do you recommend any books where I can study connected speech? This is a fascinating topic 😍
Velice poučné, řekl bych
Thanks. I agree with everyone, very useful indeed. I actually want to use the song "footloose" in connection with this topic. Can you help identify the connected words in the lyrics? Many thanks.
