    may correspond to several different spellings or combinations of letters.

    des  des copains  des amis
    les  les tantes  les oncles
    un  un français  un américain

    The pronunciation of "latent" consonants (consonants that are normally not pronounced)
    before a following vowel is called liaison or linking. In the third column above, liaison links
    the two words with the sound /z/ (ex. des_amis) or with the sound /n/ (ex. un_américain). The
    result of liaison is a regular alternation of consonant and vowel sounds (CVCV ... etc.)

    Listen to the following examples and take note of where the elision is made. Listen a second
    time and repeat.
