Linking sounds in British RP pronunciation is essential for fluent and natural speech. If you are learning English and want to improve your accent, mastering how to link vowel sounds to vowel sounds and consonant sounds to consonant sounds is a key skill. In this video, we cover how to smoothly connect words in spoken English, helping you sound more like a native speaker. British English learners often struggle with connected speech, but understanding linking techniques can improve fluency and clarity.

Linking vowels occurs when one word ends in a vowel sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound. In British Received Pronunciation, speakers use an intrusive or linking sound to make the transition smoother. Common linking sounds include the intrusive /r/, /w/, and /j/ sounds. Examples of linking vowel sounds include phrases like "go on" sounding like "gow on" and "I agree" sounding like "I yagree." Without linking, speech can sound unnatural and disconnected.

Linking consonants happens when one word ends in a consonant sound and the next word begins with the same or a similar consonant sound. In fluent RP speech, these sounds are often blended together rather than being pronounced separately. For example, "big game" is pronounced as "bi game" without a noticeable pause. Understanding this aspect of pronunciation is crucial for sounding natural and improving your spoken English.

This video provides clear examples and practice exercises to help English learners refine their British pronunciation. Whether you are an ESL student, preparing for an English exam, or simply working on your accent, learning these techniques will enhance your spoken fluency. English pronunciation can be challenging, but focusing on connected speech and linking sounds will significantly improve your ability to speak smoothly.

British pronunciation is a key component of mastering spoken English. If you are learning English for work, travel, or exams like IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English, improving your RP accent will help you communicate more effectively.
