When one word ends with a <span data-no-translation>consonant sound<\/span> and the next word starts with a <span data-no-translation>vowel sound<\/span>, we often link them. For example, <span data-no-translation>get off<\/span> sounds like <span data-no-translation>ge-toff<\/span>. This makes your English sound smoother and faster, like native speakers. It also helps you understand others better when they speak quickly. Learning this simple rule will make a big difference in your listening and speaking skills.

It is easy to learn!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Look at two words together.<\/li>\n<li>The first word ends with a <span data-no-translation>consonant sound<\/span> (like \/t\/, \/n\/, \/m\/).<\/li>\n<li>The next word starts with a <span data-no-translation>vowel sound<\/span> (like \/a\/, \/e\/, \/i\/, \/o\/, \/u\/).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When this happens, we <span data-no-translation>link<\/span> the two sounds. They join together. There is no pause between them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beispiel: <span data-no-translation>an apple<\/span> sounds like <span data-no-translation>a-napple<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li>Beispiel: <span data-no-translation>get up<\/span> sounds like <span data-no-translation>ge-tup<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why is Connected Speech Important?<\/h2>\n<p>Learning about <span data-no-translation>connected speech<\/span> has many benefits for your English.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Understand better:<\/strong> When native speakers talk, they use <span data-no-translation>connected speech<\/span>.
