English has a secret rule: sometimes it adds sounds that aren't even there 🙊 It's called intrusion and native speakers do it constantly without noticing. When two vowel sounds meet at a word boundary, English quietly inserts a consonant between them to make the transition smoother. Listen: /w/ → "go away" · "do it" · "who else?" /j/ → "she asked" · "I am" · "they always" /r/ → "the idea of it" · "law and order" Once you hear it, you'll catch it everywhere :)
