Linking sounds in British English I am largely concerned about linking in English. For example, stop it, we link "p" at the end of "stop" and "i" in the beginning of "it". Also, in two words like: "bea t ball" (just an example), I hear that we can change "t" into "p" and then pronounce "b" because this will make it easier to move from this sound to the other. Another example is "di d tin" (Just an example as well because I know it doesn't make any sense), we can ignore "d" and just pronounce "t". My question is: I read all these rules which is applied to the American English. So is it possible in British English? I am interested in British English although it's more difficult than American English. All your help are highly appreciated and I would be grateful if you can tell me the sources where I can learn about some pronunciation in British English. Thank you very much! |
