A Natural Pronunciation Tip - Speak Smoothly

So here is a general pronunciation rule that most native speakers use when they speak.  Even if you, as a learner, don't actually use this pronunciation technique, you WILL hear it and should learn to recognize it.

When one word ends with a consonant sound, and the next word begins with a vowel sound, the sounds BLEND.

That's it.  Just to review, vowel means AEIOU, and  consonant means BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ.

For example:

Under every chair 

Unde-revery chair

Consonant sounds count too.  For example:

Once every week  

One-severy week

So give it a try.  Just take a look in any newspaper, magazine, or blog article and try to read some of those sentences out loud by linking and blending the words together.  It sounds a lot more natural that way.
