Here are some exercises to practice assimilation in English:


## Minimal Pair Discrimination


- Listen to pairs of words that differ only by the assimilated sound, such as "good boy" vs "good toy". Decide if the words are the same or different.

- Example pairs: 

  - "good boy" vs "good toy"

  - "green bag" vs "green flag" 

  - "have to" vs "have two"


## Dictation


- Listen to short phrases or sentences containing assimilated sounds and write down what you hear.

- Example sentences:

  - "I'm going to the park."

  - "She wants to eat sushi."

  - "We have to go now."


## Sentence Repetition


- Repeat short phrases or sentences after a native speaker, focusing on pronouncing the assimilated sounds correctly.

- Example sentences:

  - "I'm going to the store."

  - "We have to finish this project."

  - "She wants to learn French."


## Reading Aloud


- Read short passages out loud, paying attention to pronouncing assimilated sounds naturally.

- Example passage:

  "I'm going to the park to meet my friend. We have to finish our homework before we can play. She wants to learn how to ride a bike."


## Conversation Practice


- Practice short conversations with a partner, focusing on using assimilated sounds in natural speech.

- Example conversation:

  A: "What are you going to do today?"

  B: "I'm going to the library to study."

  A: "We have to finish our project by tomorrow."

  B: "She wants to get an A on the test."


The key is to practice listening to and producing assimilated sounds in a variety of contexts, from minimal pairs to full conversations. With regular practice, you'll be able to assimilate sounds more naturally in your English speech.
