Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to speak
naturally in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Sunday with a quick one point lesson to help you
improve your pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. And if you want
to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English podcast
on YouTube now. In every day spoken American English, we
often connect vowel sounds with a very small, quick W sound.
I like to call this the tiny W. The tiny
W happens when one word ends with an ooh sound
and the next word begins with a vowel sound like
do it. We don't stop the sound, and in one
breath we say do it. It's not do it, it's
do it. I'm gonna do it tomorrow. Did you hear
the tiny W? I'm gonna do it tomorrow. Here are
some other examples. You are sounds like you are. You
are a very nice person. Who else sounds like who else?
Who else is coming to the party? To ask sounds
like to ask You need to ask the boss. Be
sure to practice these phrases yourself this week and they
will become part of your English. Hey thanks for listening,
