Connected speech involves pronouncing words together in a smooth, natural way by changing or omitting sounds. This includes using weak forms of words, dropping the sound "h" in certain contexts like pronouns and auxiliary verbs, and linking sounds like "t" to "j" and "d" to "j". Understanding connected speech is important for listening comprehension and pronunciation in English.
