 | Consonant Assimilation Could someone provide me with a linking exercise which will help me to practice consonant assimilation which occurs with combinations such as 'don't know', where /t/ is elided. I find this really difficult. |

| Consonant Assimilation I am looking for some linking exercises that I can work on to help me to understand consonant assimilation. I am particularly having difficulty with combinations such as 'don't know' where /t/ is elided.
