I find myself doing it on occassions but only with certain people, it is a habit I think I have picked up from my teenage son and his friends. It is a sort of youth slang. I think British teenagers picked it up from a film called 'Wayne's World' - an American comedy with adults pretending to be 'rock' teenagers, (very funny film) that spawned a lot of 'catchphrases'.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ChSoundBeforeYou/jvwv/post.htm#45515Sun, 26 Apr 2009 09:54:00 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:45515CalifJim2http://www.englishforums.com/English/ChSoundBeforeYou/jvwv/post.htm#45515http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-45515.xmlThe phenomenon you have observed is "glide absorption". The glide "y" is absorbed into the preceding consonant. (I have never heard it in "I feel good, yeah", but it applies to all your other examples. Be careful. Some of them are the "j" sound, not "ch".) The following may be helpful. I'll take a look at your responses if you care to do the suggested exercises. Type 1. t + y = t + sh = ch When a "t" at the end of one word comes in contact with a "y" in the following word, the combination creates the sound . The most frequent "y"-words that are seen in this context are "you", "your", "yourself", and "yours". The word "year" also can be seen in this context. "Won't you help me?" > Won choo help me?

I know that (CH) you were there. I hear some people pronounce the same phrases with "CH" sound and in some cases with the normal "T". What would you advise? And why do they pronounce them so? And if the same thing happens before all words beginning with "Y" (YOUTH, for example) or not? I heard some people pronouncing "CH" before YEAH. For example, I FEEL GOOD (CH) YEAH. Thanks in advance. Appreciate your help.
