Paragraph:
Consonant to consonant linking is a phonological process in connected speech where consonants at the end of one word blend smoothly with consonants at the beginning of the next word. This linking enhances speech fluency and helps create more natural-sounding English in casual conversations. Understanding how consonant linking works is essential for English learners to improve their pronunciation, articulation, and overall communication skills in everyday speech.
