Connected Speech Explains 'Fast' English
- Native speakers sound fast because they use connected speech that links, reduces, and cuts words together.
- Learning connected speech patterns unlocks both comprehension and the ability to speak faster.
Live Demo: 'I Ran Out Of Milk'
- Chiyago read a clearly pronounced sentence and Ethan reproduced a natural connected version to show the difference.
- The exercise revealed how reductions and linking make speech flow and feel faster.
Use Media For Repetitive Listening Practice
- Use movies, series and music to notice and practice connected speech patterns repeatedly.
- Replay short sections and repeat aloud to train your ear and mouth for reductions.
