Tóm tắt
Learners improve connected speech by linking word-final consonants smoothly to following word-initial vowels.

The pronunciation focus is linking a word’s final consonant to the initial vowel of the following word in connected speech. It appears in city-related phrases and sentences about public transport, private vehicles, modern infrastructure, high-rise buildings, and smart cities. Learners listen, notice boundaries between words, and practise sentences so the final consonant flows into the next vowel instead of being separated by an unnatural pause. The written lesson identifies the process, while the precise acoustic model remains in the recording.
