Linking Vowel to Vowel

When one word ends with a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we link the words with a sort of W or Y sound.

If our lips are round at the end of the first word, we insert a W sound:

oo
|
o

We write it like this:	too often	who is	so I	do all
We say it like this:	tooWoften	whoWis	soWI	doWall

If our lips are wide at the end of the first word, we insert a Y sound:

oo
|
--

We write it like this:	Kay is	I am	the end	she asked
We say it like this:	KayYis	IYam	theYend	sheYasked
