#262 Why You Can't Understand Native Speakers (Elision)
Listen now
Description
Textbook English is different from spoken English, and a big part of this comes down to pronunciation and how things are said in real conversations.  This is Part 2 in my series on pronunciation, where we first looked at Linking in Episode 255, and now we're looking at Elision. These are both features of connected speech that share some similarities. In this episode, I share an example of elision followed by a question or challenge for myself that I also ask you (the listeners) to do as well!
