which is linking similar consonant sounds so you can also link similar consonant sounds
you can link same but also similar sounds so let's take a look at this word cheese sandwich
so here cheese ends with a z sound and sandwich starts with s
these are two similar sounds one is voiced which means we use our voice to make the sound z
and if we don't use our voice we get the s sound so we can also link these sounds so i would not
say cheese sandwich i would say cheese sandwich cheese sandwich right i link those similar sounds
okay next we have the words breathe and through so here we have the voiced th breathes and
unvoiced through so these are very similar sounds it's just using our voice or not using our voice
same just like zs same so we can also link these sounds breathe through breathe
through and notice we're still using the sound of the second word just like cheese
sandwich we say that s so when we link sounds we say strongly say the letter of the second word
so these are examples of voiced and unvoiced linked
right same uh mouth position just using my voice or not using my voice we can also
link so let's see these in a sentence i could really go for a cheese sandwich
i could really go for a cheese sandwich
so i didn't say that z sound cheese very strongly right but we linked the sounds cheese sandwich
okay and next breathe through your nose so even though i would say this word as breathe
and this word as through when we link them breathe through your nose
interesting right so we can also link other voiced and unvoiced pairs like
i need two kilos of chicken so here need two so i would not say i need
two i need two kilos of chicken so i'm really pronouncing that t and linking these sounds
we can do it with k and g voice unvoiced and voiced so here we're gonna see it with the phrase
dark green the water was a dark green color dark green so there again really saying that
g and linking my similar consonant sounds just two more for this we have
unvoiced and voiced so here we're going to look at sleep better i sleep better on the weekends
right i really say that b i sleep better the p and the b so similar i sleep better on the weekends
and last unvoiced invoice and f and v uh so here we're gonna be looking at
ah yes our enough vacation okay so i could say
enough vacation but let's hear it in a sentence do you have enough vacation time
do you have enough vacation time so the f and the v kind of blend together we link them enough
vacation time and i really say that v right so this is the second way similar consonant
sounds and we're using it with our voiced and unvoiced pairs like d and t p and b and so on
