Pronunciation question How do you pronounce the t and y for example in " what you" in American English ?I think there should be a ch sound but I don't really understand how it should be pronounced. Is it pronounced "whchyou" ?

You can pronounce it as "whaT you" if you want, because I believe it is the correct way. Some people (like singers) pronounce it like "whaCHu" because it is easier to say!

We don't say "what you" by itself in American English. Give some sample sentences to clarify what you are really asking. Otherwise, pronounce what as what and you as you.
