Hi Iveta, how are you? Yeah, those Golders Green days seem so long ago. I will pass on hello to Chie (pass my videos to anyone you know who might find them useful)
At first I thought he would mention the words "I'm in" as the ones that changed but in the end when it's pronounced fast it sounds like: "Iminbed". That's what I heard when you were pronouncing it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom By the way, I'm the guy who you mentioned your videos on Reddit. You said "what you said about dropping T's and D's is elision". I hope that you remember it. Not exactly. You asked which sound became one, but when you say it fast to me it sounded all together "Iminbed" and I think it happens because the vowel in the word "in" can be linked to the "m" in I'm. What do you think?
@@anthonyjuniorpimentelherre3200 Hi again, yes I remember. by the way I have a video coming out Oct 7 on elision. About 'I'm in' sounding together, yes you are right. the /m/ in 'i'm' links to the /i/ sound. So this little sentence 'i'm in bed' has 2 forms of connected speech, linking and assimilation. Thanks
Thanks for the question. Yes, assimilation happens in all Englishes. Actually, it happens in other languages too. Example. There is a station in Japan called ‘shin bashi’ but when spoken sounds like ‘shimbashi’
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom thanks for the answer this was really something I never noticed when listening people speaking English. Thanks a lot, your channel is really an awesome discovery.
I just come across your site and like your clear style of presentation. English is my second language and I used to live in Chalk Farm. Golders Green: I probably would get away with GO-(ld)esGREEN. In your other examples I can hardly distinguish between -don and -dom in fast speech. It's not a stressed sound and the ears picks out the other important syllables. This is new to me until recently. I went to school in Britain decades ago but nobody ever taught any of what you teach.
Chalk Farm! Just down the road from Golders Green. Yeah, connected speech is really interesting. All the different things changes to sounds that happen. It’s one of the reasons that make English really hard to understand for students. Did you study in a language school, secondary school, or uni?

@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom Thanks for your reply. I went to a public boarding school, attended the same classes as the locals and took 'O' Levels. There were no language schools for foreign students nor IELTS in the 70's.

FANTASTICALLY GOOD ! I'll share with all my relatives
Please do! I’m glad you think it’s useful
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom My pleasure ! ❤
Thanks Tom for your efforts! No doubts, these are amazing videos for people studying on British Accent.
Thank you for your positive comment! I appreciate it
Good job! Cheers.
Thanks!
Tom, I still remember the time in Golders Green you were an excellent teacher then. Say Hi to Chie from me 👋 Very useful lessons.
Hi Iveta, how are you? Yeah, those Golders Green days seem so long ago. I will pass on hello to Chie (pass my videos to anyone you know who might find them useful)
are there assimilation for ( come down ) (coming back ) ( some cream ) please.
Yes, I think 'coming back' could be pronounced 'comiMBack.
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom Thank you so much. what about assimilation for ( m + d ) and ( m + c ) as in ( come down ) and ( some cream ) please.
@@ramzy-6566 Hello again. No, I don't think those assimilate. You would pronounce the /m/ sound in both those examples.
@@EnglishpronunciationwithTom Hello, Thank you for great reply. Have a nice day.
@@ramzy-6566 You too. I hope the videos are useful for you

Hello, just wondering is this assimilation thing works the same and follows the same rules for American English ?
Thanks for the question. Yes, assimilation happens in all Englishes. Actually, it happens in other languages too. Example. There is a station in Japan called ‘shin bashi’ but when spoken sounds like ‘shimbashi’
