teaching learners how to listen is important. First, nonnative speakers\u2014of all languages\u2014can struggle to understand native speakers when they talk and run words together. This kind of rapid-fire blending of words and phrases is called \u201ccontinuous speech.\u201d For example, when people speak quickly, the phrase <em>tell her<\/em> sounds like the word <em>teller<\/em>, and <em>meet her<\/em> sounds like <em>meter<\/em>. Second, learners can miss important contextual information that is conveyed through other speakers\u2019 intonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIn all languages, words are linked, and often contracted, and sounds may be deleted or altered.
