How can I pronounce by connecting words "that was"? Like "tha-ross"?
Native speaker’s answer
Rebecca
The speaker here does not necessarily connect the words "that" and "was", but she does say them quickly. She pronounces the last "t" in "that" by making a soft "t" sound towards her throat with the back of her tongue, rather than making a hard "t" sound with the tip of her tongue behind her teeth.
