I hear “of course dont need”

Hi Abbas
Many thanks for your question. I’ve listened to the part you mention again, and I’m guessing it’s due to the fact that connected speech makes the speaker drop some sounds. So ‘they’ll’ becomes more like ‘thull’ and ‘th’ often comes out as a ‘d’ sound, which may be why you hear something like ‘dun’ instead of ‘thull’. It’s really helpful for me to know how you hear connected speech. Have you done any work on what happens when sounds run together like this?
