Pronunciation of ''English speaker''
I find it hard to pronounce this phrase smoothly. Do native speakers reduce the sound ''sh'' as in English in spoken English?
Thanks in advance!

Answer

Hello Felix,

I think this question was answered yesterday. We do pronounce both sounds although the 'sz' glides into the 's' and the 'p' follows as normal.

Best wishes
