Hello, everyone!
I have read some references about reduced sound(two consonants).
But most of them are talking about two the same letters(pronunciations), as in "bus station","right time".
The letters s and t, the last letter of first word and the first letter of second word, are the same in two words.
They just pronounce once for two the same continuous pronunciations.
My question is if the two consonants are not the same,as in "red coat(d--c)","black bike(k--b)",
could they be reduced?
I guess /d/ in red and /k/ in black could be omitted?
I am not sure of this. I just guess from what I have listened so far.
Could anyone tell me?
Thanks very much.
