Hello! Thank you for your question :-) In 'sleep better' there could be a flap t in the word 'better'. However, this is not a must. Many speakers will pronounce it with a /t/ sound instead. I use both! I think when I speak fast it tends to be a flap t because this allows me to speak faster, but when I speak more slowly to be easily understood it is often a /t/ sound. I hope this helps!
Hello! The /l/ sound might just sound a tiny bit longer which gives you the impression that there are 2 /l/ sounds, but it's really just one. You would have to stop in between the two words if you wanted to say two separate /l/ sounds - and this would slow you down significantly. I hope this helps!
Thanks a lot about your great lesson my amazing teacher you made me understand more about Linking words yet *i don't get understood while doing it two weeks ago i said "i wanna t eat " people thought that i was asking:" tea " 😅

It is such a simple but too underestimated topic. Thank you for covering that. I have a question now. i can hear a kind of "r" where two "a" sounds link. For example, in "visa" + "application" I hear visaR application. also, Ameraica R is, China R is, etc. Was wondering if there is any rule which applies here. Thank you.
When we say ‘thank you’ /ˈθæŋk juː/, we customarily connect the /k/ and the /juː/ to form the sound of the letter Q /kjuː/. Is this according to a consonant+consonant rule, or is this a special isolated case?
That's because of a special kind of linking called catenation. You can learn more about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sQ369n0yJag.html
Not really, elision is for /t/ mostly. In your example we have linking of two similar sounds /p/ and /b/. The /p/ is held and not released but moves into /b/.
