Liaison Rule 3: Vowel / Vowel 

When a word ending in a  vowel  sound is next to one beginning with a vowel  sound, they are connected with a glide between the two vowels. A glide is either a s light [y] sound or a slight [w] sound. How do you know which one to use? This will take care of itself—the position your lips are in will dictate either [y] or [w].  

Go away.                                 Go(w) away.

I also need the other one.           I(y) also need thee(y) other one.

For example, if a word ends in [o] your lips ar e going to be in the forw ard position, so a [w] quite naturally leads into  the next vowel sound—[Go(w) away]. You don't want to say

Go...away and break the undercurrent of you r voice. Run it all together: [Go(w) away].

After a long [ē ] sound, your lips will be pulled back far enough to create a [y] glide or liaison: [I(y) also need the(y) other one]. Don't force this sound too much, though. It's not a strong pushing sound. [I(y) also need the(y)other one] would sound really weird.
