Speech & Pronunciation
streching the sound?
Recently, I have been learning a book of pronunciation. It says that sometimes we should pronunce a word in two syllables. I agree. And my first questions is when I should pronunce a word with two syllables?
As the picture shows, "car" and "gone" are put on two syllables instead of one.
And my second question is how I can read in proper intonation.
My last question is whether one pronouces liaison only when he reads fast.
Thank you in advace!

I wouldn't call it two syllables-- just a glide. It is an upward glide indicating a question. Liaison occurs at any speed, as does reduction.
