Speech & Pronunciation
Pronunciation: Linking vowels (glide).
The phrase: "I saw it" phonetically looks like: /a? 's? ?t/
There should be a glide between the words "saw" and "it" but I'm not sure which one, the "y" or the "w" glide.
/a? 's?(w)?t/ or
/a? 's?(y)?t/
Which pronunciation is correct?
Thank you!
