Hello again.
Now there's a lot more to talk about regarding EHRSSON.
Now there are many different dialects of spoken English Standard American English British received pronunciation
and Australian English are the most commonly known and studied varieties but there are also several
different accents existing in the United States Canada the UK Australia and other English speaking countries.
Now their sound is specific to North American English in particular.
In fact it's one of the most noticeable sounds that distinguishes American English.
So if you're trying to develop a more North American sounding accent This is an important sound to master.
Now you'll find that there are two different IPA symbols that are used for this sound.
When there isn't a stressed syllable it's written as follows.
When it's in a weak syllable it's written as the Schwamm followed by an R.
These two are virtually the same sound.
The only difference is that the one in the stress syllable will be louder longer and higher in pitch
the mouth and the tongue aren't exactly the same position for balls sounds.
For example in the stress syllable you hear work and first in the weaker shuang syllable.
You'll hear the shorter quieter and lower pitched version of this as in mother and understand.
Now let's move into some practice of this important sound.
Let's try some tongue twisters now.
Tongue twisters exist in most all languages.
They repeat the same sound and they're even difficult for native speakers but they can be a fun way
to practice.
Now the following one repeats the piece sound quite a lot but you'll also find quite a bit of the sound
in there too.
Now I'm going to do it for you but see if I can.
And then you can go ahead and practice it as well if you like.
Here goes.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers a peck of pickled peppers.
Peter Piper picked it.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Where's the pack of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
Wow I can't believe I actually did that.
Feel free to try that one as well you can stop the video and try it if you like.
Well give you another one.
This one's a little bit longer.
Benny botter had some butter but he said this butter is bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter it would make my batter bitter but a bit of better butter that would make
my batter better.
So she bought a bit of butter better than her bitter better looks better than her bitter butter and
she baked in her batter and the batter was not bitter so it was better Betty Botter bought a bit of
better butter.
Ugh.
Again if you like this one go ahead and stop the video.
You can go ahead and do it again on your own.
Anyway keep practicing the tongue twisters if that's something that you enjoy and don't forget to do
all the assignments in the workbook before moving forward to the next lesson.
You need to have mastered the sound before watching the next lesson.
So don't rush it.
If you need more time keep working on it and when you're ready move on to the next concept.
Thanks for watching.
