🎀 You're "Esperanto" too, if you're "the on who hopes." For the world without war, peace, and better future

Esperanto is the world's most spoken constructed language. It's also an "auxiliary" language. The term "auxiliary" means that it is designed as an additional language for communication between the people of the world. Not the one to replace their first language

Concentration of speakers is highest in Europe, East Asia, South America. The community is close-knit and takes measures to keep the language alive and support each other. For example, they've even come up with "Pasporta Servo," a platform where Esperanto travelers can stay for free at each other's houses

Esperanto's mission to keep the world close is at the heart of S2S product. Every week, S2S users learn to communicate on trending topics in English, with other high level English learners. They learn to get heard, express their opinions clearly, and form lasting personal and professional connections this way. Clearly, the best way to peace is through understanding

☕️ "Is There a Black Purse In Here?" 💓TOP 1 Feature of "Connected Speech" or Why You DON'T Understand Native English Speakers

Ever wondered why you understand the text while reading and cannot get the same text when you hear it?
The answer is: 5 features of "Connected Speech"

1. Linking
2. Elision
3. Assimilation
4. Intrusion
5. Weak Forms

Today, we demonstrate #1 Top Feature of "Connected Speech" — Linking

🐐 LINKING is when words "hold hands" in speech — the end of one word connects to the start of the next

Linking Formula: Consonant + Vowel = smash them together

Linking Examples:
👁‍🗨"Turn off" sounds like "Tur-noff"
👁‍🗨"Not at all" sounds like "No-ta-tall"
👁‍🗨 "Big apple" sounds like "Bi-gapple"

🎧 Now play the video again. Congratulations! You recognise Linking in action!
Crazy thing: pronunciation and listening are linked too ;) As you start pronouncing words linking them, you'll get better at recognising others doing it.
Quick profit: better listening skills

Which feature of "Connected Speech" should we deconstruct next?

🪴Send this to friends dreaming of a trip to Africa. Or just like designer purses. You can never be sure!
