Intrusive Sounds + Activity

Intrusive sounds when linking two vowels:

If one word ends with a vowel and the next word begins with a vowel, there should not be a pause between the words. To accomplish this, for a smoother transition between the vowels, we insert the intrusive sounds y and w between the two vowels. More specifically, this means we add a short y (/j/) sound after a front vowel (like /eɪ/, /i/, and /ai/) eg. "I [j] am" and a short w sound after a back vowel (like /ʊ/ and /oʊ/) eg. "Go [w] away!".
In a similar way, we sometimes add an imaginary /r/ sound, even when there isn't an 'r' at the end of the first word. We do this to speak more fluently and to make one word transition more easily into the next. eg. "A banana [r] is a yellow fruit".
