?Tienunabitación?

Is it correct to blend the vowel sounds?
Or is it that it's spoken so quickly you cannot tell the break in the words?

When I try to pronounce each sound it doesn't sound as fluid as the speakers on the CD.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hola Chris,

Tomé una clase en la universidad sobre la pronunciación del español. Utilizamos este libro a continuación.
Todavía tengo este libro y habla de lo que estás preguntando. El libro es un libro de texto universitario por lo
tanto es caro pero veo que han usados por sólo $7.00.
Si estás realmente interesado en aprender español te sugiero que compre este libro.
