Exercise 2-12; Finding Liaisons 1 and Glides 2    CD 2 Track 47 


In the following paragraph connect as many of the words as possible. Mark your liaisons as we have done in the first two sentences. Add the (y) and (w) glides between vowels 3.


Hello, myname is_______________. I'm taking American Accent Training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation 4 pattern pretty easily, although the(y) only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys, intonation more than Iused to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like walking down astaircase. I've been talking to(w) a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I? VPractice reading the paragraph three times,focusing on running your words together.


+Turn the CD back on and repeat after me as I read. I'm going to exaggerate the linking of the words, drawing it out much longer than would be natural.
