Pronunciation Principle: Linking and Reducing Words


In English, people put stress on the important words in a phrase. This means they make parts of some words longer
and louder than the other words in the sentence. They say the other words very quickly and they sound shorter.
What about you? What do you like to do? = Whadabouchoo? Whadyooliketadoo?
What does she like to do? = Whadasheeliketadoo?

LEARNING STRATEGY

Set a language learning goal that is meaningful. Ask yourself, “What do I want to do with English?”
