What is "connected speech"?
Connected speech refers to the way spoken language flows naturally, where words are pronounced together in a smooth and often linked manner, rather than as distinct, separate units. In connected speech, sounds may change or blend, making it more challenging for learners to recognize individual words. For example, "want to" may sound like "wanna" and "going to" may become "gonna." This phenomenon is important in everyday conversation, as it reflects how people naturally communicate, helping to maintain the rhythm and pace of speech while making it sound more fluent and conversational.
