When one word ends in a /s/ sound and the next word begins in /s/, we don't pronounce both sounds. Look at the following examples mentioned in this video: She's silly. He's sitting over there. But "she's" and "he's" end in a /z/ sound, not a /s/ sound.

Thanks J.C.. You’re right: ‘he’s’ and ‘she’s’ end in the /z/ sound. In these examples, the /z/ sound is lost. We call this assimilation, not twinning. We’ll upload an updated version of this video soon.

J. C. this is called voice assimilation ; that is to say , when a voiceless sound like (s) is preceded by a voiced consonant like (z) , the (s) sound affects the first sound (z) and it becomes (s) voiceless , the same thing for other consonants like f &v etcetera. we can call it also linking because we have one consonant followed by another consonant .

Why does Tim make fun of poor Tom? I like this lesson very much but making fun or a slower brother is bad.. It makes feel a little bit like this.. :(. I was going to twitter this to my students but the joke on a slower thinker is not a good lesson..

@bbclearningenglish 8 лет назад

Hi Doris. We’re sorry you didn’t like the video. It wasn’t intended to be offensive. We hope you enjoy the rest of Tim’s Pronunciation Workshop.

It's not that I didn't like it...

@LuLu-js7ku 8 лет назад

why he's and is can be connected with /s/ sound which end in an /z/ sound. By the way what's the difference between RP accent and Posh accent,they sound similar to me.

@bbclearningenglish 8 лет назад

Thanks eeEE. You’re right: ‘he’s’ ends in the /z/ sound and ‘sitting’ begins with the /s/ sound. In this example, the /z/ sound is lost. We call this assimilation, not twinning. We’ll upload an updated version of this video soon.

It's very difficult for me to listen to the phrase "That's so unfair". It's like " the so unfair".
