There’s always a phonetics chart at the beginning of dictionaries. Most of the time, the consonants look the same as they do in the alphabet so it isn’t difficult to check if a consonant is pronounced or not. However, there’s sometimes a difference between the way a word sounds in isolation and the way it is pronounced in connected speech. For example, “What are you going to do?” could be pronounced like this in connected speech: “Whadya gonna do?” If you’d like to know a bit more about pronunciation changes in connected speech, you could look at the following site: http://www.jalt.org/pansig/2006/HTML/Brown.htm |
