Hi! I have a question about phrase 'ORANGE THEORY' .When we go fast , I find it quite challenging(almost impassible) to shift from 'G' to 'TH'.Won't natives simply replace 'TH' for regular 'S'? Thank you.
Hi, thanks for your questio.. No, we don't replace th with S. After the letter G (or J sound) you will release a brief, light ZH sound. Even an SH will do- since the upcoming th will be voiceless. From there you just move your tongue forward until it almost touches your teeth for th.
In both the linking of V+V and V+O, the first V is continued into the V or O after it, so is there much point distinguishing between these two types of linking?
@@SmoothEnglish1 I am sorry for the mistakes in my question. I am now writing it again as follows, In both the linking of Consonant+Consonant and Consonant+Vowel, the first Consonant is continued into the Consonant or the Vowel after it, so is there much point distinguishing between these two types of linking?

This is very useful, but zh is not the "j" sound--it's the voiced "sh", vs. ch (the unvoiced j). Beige yes, orange no
yes- correct zh is the voiced sh. The Zh may sneak in when transitioning away from the J sound to the next sound.
