Pronunciation

Hi

I'm finding that when listening to Spanish dialogue that when a word ends in a vowel and the following word begins with a vowel, the two words 'share' the vowel sound.

Eg:

?Tiene una habitación?

Sounds to me more like:

?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

Chris
