Tim's pronounciation workshop, 13- Assimilation of /n/ followed by /p/

13- Assimilation of /n/ followed by /p/

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.

Now, one of the things that happens when we speak fluently is that the sounds

at the end of a word can change. To demonstrate this, we asked people on the streets of London

to identify this Tube station.

Green Park Green Park

Green Park It's Green Park

Now, the word Green ends in the sound /n/, doesn't it? Or does it? Listen again, what

sound can you hear?

Green Park Green Park

Green Park It's Green Park

So, what's happening here? Well, when one word ends in the sound /n/ and the next word

begins with a /p/, /b/, /w/ or /m/ sound, then the /n/ from the end of the word changes

to an /m/ sound as your mouth gets ready to pronounce the next sound. 'Green Park' becomes

'Greempark'. Watch again - this time in slow motion. Look at the mouth shape. Can you see

/n/, or /m/?

Green Park

Green Park

It's Green Park

Interesting, eh? This is called assimilation. Here are some more examples:

I own ten pairs of socks. He didn't do it on purpose.

I would love to live in Paris. Can you come on Wednesday?

Right, so you've heard the examples and now it's your turn. Are you ready? Listen and repeat.

He didn't do it on purpose.

I would love to live in Paris.

Can you come on Wednesday?
