Savvy 5第五招
T, D, S, or Z + Y T,D,S或Z+Y

When the letter or sound of T, D, S, or Z is followed by a word that starts with Y, or its sound, both sounds are connected. These letters and sounds connect not only with Y, but they do so as well with the initial unwritten [] sound of syllables and words. They form a combination that changes the pronunciation.
如果字母或发音T, D, S, 或 Z后跟一个由Y或y音开始的单词，两个音就连在一起。这种连接不仅仅在有Y的时候，而且在单词和音节前有一个不写出的[]时也会发生。这种连接组合会改变单词的发音。

Practice 练习

Hello, my name is ______. I'm taking American accent training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys, intonation more than I used to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like walking down a staircase. I've been talking to a lot of American lately, and they tell me that I'm easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I?
