How to Be More Self-Critical in Spanish

In English, we tend to have more together than you would find in Spanish. One key difference between English and Spanish is the consonant clusters that come at the end of words. So instead of hearing like work it, work it with the et de, so there's no consonant cluster, it's a vowel, then a consonant, et, work it. That doesn't happen in Spanish. It's usually just one consonant. You'd probably be likely to say six, six, six rather than eight or nine. But if you took an example like worked, worked with the past tense, so I worked at my old job,  that is a consonant cluster.
