Rhythm (function word reductions) https://youtu.be/FtTLEAA0Sbc
*Takeway: Reduce function words so the sentence has same timing and rhythm as if you were only pronouncing the keywords.
2. Connected Speech (linking) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAHUTKm_1n0
*Takeway: C+V = push final consonant forward. C + C = cut final consonant.
