  • Hello @usrariasat and @Roman. So glad to hear the videos are useful. Thanks for writing. 

  • Hello Johnny. I think you are very observant! I feel like I'm pronouncing the /r/ but sometimes it's just a schwa sound.

    And of course in this video we were saying single words, but in natural speech, there could be more words following which may start with a vowel. So if I said 'brother and sister' I'm sure you'd hear the /r/ on brother.

  • Hey, Vicky and Jay!

    To be honest, I have never paid attention to that difference. But now, I can notice it.

    Thank you very much!

  • Thank you vicki ..your videos really help me how to pronounce the words correctly..
