This document discusses consonant pronunciation in English. It explains that consonants are either stop consonants, which have a short sound and you can feel air leaving your mouth, or continuous consonants, which have a longer sound with no air. When two stop consonants are together, they are pronounced as one sound, while two continuous consonants have a short pause between them. The document provides examples and practice sets applying these rules to improve linking consonants in speech.
