學連音 說地道口語：your / you're → yer (音頻)
Native speaker在輕鬆的日常對話中，語調常不自覺加快而出現連音，這和課堂中所教授的標準英文是非常不一樣的。這種連音在美劇中就比較常見，不少人由於不懂連音而聽得一頭霧水。要想說一口漂亮的地道口語，你就得學會說這些連音哦。
your / you're → yer
我們來聽一段對話。在第一遍中，會將每句話先用較慢的語速念一遍，再用較快的語速念一遍；第二遍則是完整的快速對話。要注意快速狀態下 your / you're 的連音發音喲。
Listen to each part of the conversation: first spoken with careful (slow) pronunciation; then spoken with relaxed (fast) pronunciation.
CARLOS: Maria? Maria Gonzalez? My gosh! Yer so tall now.
MARIA: Carlos! My old neighbor! Wow! Yer looking great.
CARLOS: Thanks. So ... how's yer family?
MARIA: They're fine. How about your family?
CARLOS: They're fine, too.
MARIA: That's good. Does yer mother still volunteer at a school?
CARLOS: Yes, she does.
MARIA: That's great. Yer mother's a really nice person.
CARLOS: Yer right. She is. So, does yer father still sing with his friends?
MARIA: Every weekend.
Listen to the entire conversation again, spoken with relaxed (fast) pronunciation.
大家有沒有注意到MARIA的這句話，"They're fine. How about your family?" 中仍然說的是 your 而不是 yer ，這是因爲如果在句子中需要強調 your / you're 時，它們就不再發成yer。此句中MARIA強調問：“你”家裏如何？因此還是念做your。
