How do words work together in speech?
When spoken, words are not pronounced in isolation. They form groups of meanings. Unlike the written word, where words are separated by spaces, spoken language requires words to flow smoothly together.
In this video, you'll find some practical advice on how to master this skill:
- Think of writing and speaking as two separate systems;
- Link words together without pausing, as if they were a single word;
- Pronounce each syllable evenly, while lengthening the last syllable to mark the end of a unit of meaning.
