Assimilation in Connected Speech

Assimilation is the easiest (yet rarest) of the 4 forms of Connected Speech!

Connected speech has evolved in English, and by rebracketing our words, we can connect our speech.

I demonstrate how assimilation works using 3 consonant examples at the ends and beginnings of words, then a full normal sentence talking about breakfast.

I mention some things to watch out for, especially -S and -ED endings in English because the spelling in English isn't transparent to pronunciation.

In fact, I have put together a training resource for you to know how to know which -S and -ED endings you should say to make your connected speech better!

You can find “Master -S & -ED Endings for Voicing & Connected Speech

Vowels are much more difficult, and we will review them in the next episode about Gliding in Connected Speech!
