Do you sometimes find it difficult to understand spoken English? Understanding spoken English (especially native English) can be difficult because we don’t pronounce each word separately. In English, we link words together, so two or more words can sound like one word.

Contents:
1. Linking Two Consonants 2:06
2. Linking Similar Consonant Sounds 6:28
3. Linking Consonants to Vowels 10:25
4. Linking Two Vowel Sounds 13:45
5. Review 16:36
Look at a sentence:
"Do you remember that time when Anna and Amy fell in the swimming pool?"
Try reading the sentence.
Can you pronounce the sentence in one sound, without any pauses?
When native speakers talk, they don’t pause between words. They pronounce whole phrases and even sentences as one continuous sound.
If you want to speak English more fluently and sound more natural, you should try to do this too.
But how?
There are many pronunciation points you need to study, but today we’re going to look at just one very important point: linking.
Linking is how you connect words when you speak, so that two words are pronounced together.
Here we can see two different types of link. You’ll learn about these ways to link words, and more, in this lesson.
You can learn:
- How to link consonant sounds.
- How to link consonants to vowels.
- How to link two vowel sounds.
- How to link words to speak more fluently in English.
- Why linking is important for your English speaking.

Thats great news! We're so glad the lessons were helpful for you!
What an important lesson! That's the key to sound more natural. Thanks Gina....you are a wonderful teacher.
This is the best lesson about linking. It's professional, practical and easy to follow. Many thanks to you, beautiful teacher! I really appreciate.
The way you sound is out of this world! I love how you pronounce every single word. You sound perfect.
Learning about the linking words as enlightened me so much, because in the past, I always try to pronounce words separately, even when I'm trying to speak fast. I am glad that one of the many problems I'm having in English language is finally solved. Thank you so much for this lesson.
Finally I found someone to explain how to speak English like a native !!!You are wonderful teacher !!!

Thank you so much!! The rules are really hard to understand, but you've made them look so simple !!! 👍
great lesson from a great teacher. Thanks for your efforts and the way of delivering the information:)
Gina, you are my favourite teacher from Oxford Online English! I'm fond of your accent especially)
I bid you a very big thank you. You keep things straightforward, no hassle and to the point.
Such a great video. it was mindblowing for me when you provided the fact that native speakers say a sentence just producing one sound, it really changed my perception of english pronunciation now onwards. thank you very much you are doing an impecable job. i just subscribed
You are such a big blessing. May God bless you abundantly. I am praying for you.
You always keep high standard in your lessons, that makes you different from others. Thank you
I never heard this type of lesson , it helps very much in pronouncecation in english
This was very informative! I started thinking... How do you even speak without seeing your sentences in writing first? That's a mind blowing task to perform for non native English speakers. I also wonder... Did I miss this in school? Or, just forgot it? I am blown away. I don't think I ever knew this!
Oh Thanks a lot Gina. You're on the number 1. You selected the best way of helping people.
Dear Ma'am, Thank you so much for your great way of teaching.

Thank you very much, for your teachings. I'm one of many people that our mother tongue is Spanish, but want to learn to speak as a native English speaker. I know it's not easy, but with practice it's possible. I like the way you speak slowly. So in that way, we can understand in an easier way. Have a wonderful day.

excellent teaching. For some reason pronunciation finesse is an often overlooked part of learning English and even fluent speakers may struggle, this is how it should be taught and it should be taught from the very beginning.
Excellent lesson. No one teaches that. Beautiful teacher.
i like you so much especially your sound 😊
