#24 - English Pronunciation - Speak with...

E2
About this episode

This week we’re focusing on a super important part of pronunciation that is part of ‘linking or connected speech’. It’s called ‘intrusion’

In a previous episode about pronunciation, we talked about linking, and how it allows you to speak slower or fast and maintain intelligibility. Intrusion is part of this. Sometimes, when certain words are linked together, some extra sounds appear. Today, we’re going to focus on what this sounds like.

And if you ever want a bit more practice before your English test, make sure you head to www.e2testprep.com and sign up for our free online English test prep courses for IELTS, PTE, OET, TOEFL, TOEIC and CELPIP.
