When Megan talks about the blending of the “e” in the phrase “de España”, did anyone relate this with Phonetics Lesson 8?
Does anyone remember what the term for this is?

Hello Megan and David,
This regional lesson is really nice, congratulations. I really had fun listening to it. You made a good point in this lesson. I’m talking about the word “ya”. In Peru, it is very common too. It’s very colloquial and I use it all the time. For example, I say all the time:
“¡Ya está!” or “ya está listo” to say ” it’s ready!”.
“Ya pues” to convince someone “ya pues, vamos” to say “come on!”
“Ya voy” when someone calls me from another room to say “I’m coming”
Yes! It’s a very useful word! I’m glad you pointed it out!
Saludos,
Beatriz
