Listen Learn English EP1 Connected Speech

Why does English sound so fast? Native speakers aren't actually speaking faster. They're connecting their words. In this first episode, Tom and Chloe show you exactly how it works, so "What do you think?" finally makes sense when it sounds like "Whaddaya think?" In this episode you'll learn: Linking: how a consonant jumps to the next vowel Elision: the sounds native speakers drop Assimilation: how sounds change when they meet Shadowing practice: repeat with Tom, from slow to natural speed A real conversation where you hear it all together Chloe is an English learner just like you. She asks the questions you want to ask and makes the mistakes we all make, and Tom explains everything step by step. 💬 Which phrase surprised you the most?
