Assimilation is a connected speech phenomenon where adjacent phonemes influence each other and become more similar. It occurs when the mouth and vocal cords start forming the beginning sounds of the next word before finishing the last sound. There are different types of assimilation that can occur based on what phonemes are influencing each other between adjacent words. Further practice is needed to fully understand assimilation and its various types.
