Hello and welcome back in this lesson we're going to review the earth sound again just briefly because
it's going to be our jumping off point for pronouncing the r
so let's review that Erse sound right now.
What's the most important thing to remember when pronouncing the earth.
Your tongue position can vary as you remember.
It can be bunched up with the tip down.
It can also be pulled back with the tip up.
The thing you need to remember however is your tongue needs to be in the middle of your mouth floating
there not touching anything.
Let's go ahead and practice that sound together again.
Here's the sound that Americans make when it's cold.
Brrr
What do you call the hair that covers an animal's body like an animal like a rabbit or a cat or a bear.
Fur
what do you call the sound that a cat makes when it's happy.
Purr cats purr when they're happy.
A polite way to address a woman is ma'am.
How do you dress a man in a polite way.
Sir
another way of saying yes of course is
sure
now pronouncing that English R is almost exactly the same as pronouncing the same word.
There is just a few minor differences.
If you remember when we pronounce the Ur our lips are somewhat open and they're somewhat rounded like
this.
Her her.
We pronounce the r sound.
Our lips are nearly closed.
You'll find just a small opening in the middle.
The opening when we pronounce the r is just big enough to insert a straw.
Wrong right or wrong.
Instead of sucking the air in through the straw we are going to blow it out.
However rah rah rah rah.
You should feel a stream of air coming out of your mouth.
Now let's try that with some common words.
Really read Roone reason receive result.
Raise research return.
Remember no news those last three had both an R and sound in them.
So that's a bonus.
Let's try and once more research return.
Remember
here's a quick note about the spelling.
Sometimes you'll find words that begin with W. R..
In this case pretend it is just an R that W is silent.
Now here's some common words that do that.
Right.
Wrong reef wrench.
Rapper Rinkel and Russell the IPA for the r sound is just a regular r.
It's not important how we spell it if we spell it with an R if we spell it with a double R or with w
r It's just written is are in the international phonetic alphabet.
Let's do a little our practice with some sentences that have a lot of our words in them.
Just repeat after me.
Remember to read the read wrestling book.
We received a rather large of research grant
Randy.
Please return to the Red Room.
It's really important to remember to right all wrongs.
Rachel had no reason to read the results.
That is all for the section on the Earth Sound are controlled vowels and the are.
Make sure to do all the practice assignments in the workbook and schedule continual practice time each
week so that these new sounds truly become part of your speech.
Just because the lesson is finished doesn't mean you can ignore these new sounds.
I encourage you to practice as much as possible.
Enlist the help of friends and family.
Tell them your pirate jokes play would you rather with them work on your tongue twisters and most of
all.
Spend some time looking at your personal word inventory and updating it.
Remember practice makes perfect.
Thanks for watching and see you in the next lesson.
