In this video, we look at gemination or twinning, a big part of connected speech. Gemination or twinning is when one word ends with the same letter as the one at the start of the next word, meaning the words often connect.

Examples:
six seven - six-s-seven
big guy - big-g-guy
fun night - fun-n-night
big game - big-g-game
call Liam - call-l-Liam

Paragraph:
In this video about gemination (or twinning) in connected speech, viewers will learn how some consonant sounds become longer or feel “doubled” when we speak naturally. This small change can make a big difference to how clear and fluent someone sounds in English. The video includes easy examples and useful tips to help learners notice and pronounce these longer sounds, improving their confidence and communication.

In this video on the 67 internet meme, viewers will learn how a simple number pair became a playful symbol in online culture. The meme is often used to create a quick joke, a surprising twist, or a light bit of chaos in comments and conversations. The video explains where the meme comes from, how people typically use it, and why it’s so easy to recognise and repeat. By understanding the humour and patterns behind “67,” learners can better follow online jokes and feel more confident engaging with digital communities.
