Bộ video giúp bạn luyện phát âm chuẩn, hay như người bản xứ!
Để nói tiếng Anh thành thảo, trong phát âm chúng ta thường cần phải thêm những phụ âm giữa 2 từ đứng cạnh nhau, điều này được gọi là nối âm. Với video này, thầy Jim sẽ chỉ cho chúng ta rõ hơn về khi nào thêm phát âm thêm phụ âm /w/ khi nói chuyện. Video thầy nói rất chậm nên bạn có thể sử dụng để luyện nghe hàng ngày rất hiệu quả nhé ^^

” Tim Hi, I’m Tim and this is my pronunciation workshop. Here, I’m gonna show you how English is really spoken. It’ll help you become a better listener and a more fluent speaker. Come on, let’s go inside. When we speak English fluently we sometimes add extra sounds in between the words to help them link together. Now, have a look at my feet. What’s wrong with this? Let’s ask the people of London: Voxpops
The shoe is on the other foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
Tim ‘Shoe’ ends in the sound /u:/ and ‘is’ begins with the sound /ɪ/. But can you hear another sound linking them together? Have another listen: Voxpops

The shoe is on the wrong foot.

When one word ends in an /u:/ sound and the next begins in a vowel sound we can just about hear another sound in between. This sound is a bit like /w/. So ‘The shoe is…’ becomes ‘The shoewis’. This is called the linking /w/ – but it’s important to remember that it’s not a full /w/ sound. It happens because the mouth moves from an /u:/ sound to a vowel sound and on the way it passes through the /w/ mouth shape. Here are some more examples:
