Why it sounds different

Why "each" sounds like EECH.

The "" at the end of "" flows directly into the vowel starting "" — the consonant migrates to the next word with no pause between. This is called the Consonant-to-Vowel Linking, how Americans glue words together so they sound like one phrase. It comes out as EECH.

Questions

Questions people ask about this.

Is the American pronunciation of "each" different from British English?

American English uses different vowel shapes, a relaxed retroflex R, and connected-speech tricks like flap-T and glottal-stop T that British Received Pronunciation generally avoids. The respell "EECH" reflects the casual American form; British dictionaries typically print a citation form with crisper consonants and different vowel choices.
