Connected Speech
ការភ្ជាប់សំឡេងពេលនិយាយ
Native speakers don't say every word separately. They link words together to speak smoothly!
ជនជាតិដើមមិនបញ្ចេញសំឡេងពាក្យមួយៗដាច់ពីគ្នាទេ។ ពួកគេភ្ជាប់សំឡេងពាក្យបញ្ចូលគ្នាដើម្បីនិយាយឲ្យបានរលូនដូចទឹកហូរ!

Hi Sovan! A lot of times, they aren't actually speaking fast. They are just using Connected Speech! When you learn these rules (like "Did you" becoming "Didja"), you will start to understand them much better. Practice linking words yourself, and your listening will improve too! hearing

Yes, absolutely! In fact, you MUST use connected speech if you want a high Pronunciation score (Band 7+). It makes you sound fluent and natural, rather than robotic. military_tech
Teacher, why do native speakers talk so fast? I can't understand them!
