Liaison 1 Rule 3: Vowel 2 Vowel
When a word ending in a vowel sound is next to one beginning with a vowel sound, they are connected with a glide 3 between the two vowels 4.
A glide is either a slight y sound or a slight w sound.
How do you know which one to use?
This will take care of itself the position your lips are in will dictate 5 either y or w.
Go away.
I also need the other one.
For example, if a word ends in o,
your lips are going to be in the forward position, so a w quite naturally leads into the next vowel sound
Gowaway.
You don't want to say
Go...away
and break the undercurrent of your voice.
Run it all together:
Gowaway.
After a long sound, your lips will be pulled back far enough to create a y glide or liaison:
I yalso need theyother one.
Don't force this sound too much, though.
It's not a strong pushing sound.
Iy also need theyother one would sound really weird 6.
Exercise 2-9: Vowel / Vowel Liaison Practice
Pause the CD and reconnect the following words as shown in the models.
Add a y glide after an e sound, and a w glide after an u sound.
Don't forget that the sound of the American O is really ou.
