The Missing Link

ការភ្ជាប់សម្លេង (Consonant to Vowel)

Native speakers don't talk faster, they just link their words together. Let's learn the C+V rule!

ជនជាតិដើមមិនមែននិយាយលឿនទេ គ្រាន់តែគេភ្ជាប់ពាក្យចូលគ្នា។ បើយើងចេះស្តាប់ការភ្ជាប់នេះ យើងនឹងស្តាប់អង់គ្លេសបានច្បាស់!

Hi Nita! It's a common feeling! But here is the secret: they aren't actually talking faster, they are just linking their words! When they say "Take it off", it sounds like one word "Ta-ki-toff". Once you learn how linking works, your brain will decode the sound and you will understand them easily. Keep practicing! headphones
