Hi rachel reli love ur channel

Some question about linkage

Am I correct to pronounce

1. "on behalf of" /ɒn bɪˈhæf ʌv/ as /ɒn bɪˈhæ-fʌv/

2. "for all" /fɔr ɔl/ as /fɔ-rɔl

3. "for his own" /fɔr hɪz oʊn/ as /fɔ-rɪ-zoʊn/ (one words)?

Thanks so much

[rachelsenglish]

@WatchdogToClergy Yes, absolutely. This is the thing about unstressed words -- they can link together to sound like 1 unit --- like 1 word.

Excellent explanation of linking and reduction! I'm getting some pronunciation classes ready for my students and your videos have been very helpful :)

[rachelsenglish]

continued: this accent come from. what is the advantage of this so called standard accent? do i have to learn also the new yort, texas etc. accent? if not, what if i won't understand them and they won't understand me too? i hope you could help me. i really have a thing with accent... and thanks for always being there to student who needs your help. keep up the good work..

[rachelsenglish]

@Charles55661 Standard North American Accent is best to study when you're learning English. If you moved to the States and lived in Texas, for example, you might find that you pick up a few things that are very 'Texan'. But you certainly don't need to study each region's particular qualities. You are on the right track!

Hi Rachel, do you have suggestions on pronouncing the words, work, water, word? Can you have a video about it? Thanks Sam, samyoung1906@gmail.com
