Now let's talk about AR. AR is produced by rounding the lips and pulling the tongue backwards to touch the inside edges of your upper molar teeth. Imagine you're starting to swallow your tongue, pull it backward. But do keep a lot of space in your throat. So behind my tongue, which is pulling backward, I want to feel like I have a lot of space or do not let the tongue tip touch the top of the mouth. That's how AR is made and many other languages.

But the American art is more about pulling the tongue backward and keeping the tip of the tongue down. That way you won't feel like you need to vibrate the tongue and make a rolling trilling. AR, which does not happen in English. rounding your lips helps to narrow your mouth so that the tongue can touch the teeth easily. Are is voiced so the vocal cords are vibrating. First let's practice not rolling the tongue to make the are at the beginning of a word.

Now, I'm American and I'm notoriously bad at rolling my Rs. So don't laugh at me. The first word will have an American R. And the second word in each pair will have my very bad imitation of a rolling our. rate. rate. Read, read, write, write.

So stick your tongue out for a little bit enough that we feel the th and then quickly pull your tongue in for the AR and have it touch your top back teeth. The arthritic and thrifty man thrusted and through three spools of thread. Finally, tr. Now tr sounds like ch AR, so you need to round your lips and use the middle of your tongue to make the CH try. We tried to trust the tricky man, but he tripped us in his trap. Er is a vowel sound which is very related to the our consonant.

So let's talk about er again although er is in my course on vowels. To produce er, you need to pinch the corners of your lips together to make your mouth very small. or, or, at the same time of course, I'm pulling my tongue backward so that it touches the inside edges of my upper back teeth. Make sure your tongue is flat, that the tip of the tongue is not pointed up, you'll pull your flattened tongue backwards to touch the inside edges of those top back teeth. If you round your lips or tilt the back of your tongue up, you'll make an O r instead. Or is different than or the ER by the way has a much stronger R sound in American English than it does in British English.

So if you've been learning British English, you need to pull your tongue back a lot more to make the R sound are the first word in each pair will have an ER but the second word will have an O our pay attention to the difference. For four you can see a big difference in my lips. For for turn, torn, stirred, stored, heard hoard the firm that stuck in the zipper. It's your turn to climb the ladder. Notice that the word your was reduced to your. Usually when we say you're in a sentence, it's a function word.

It's not the most important word. So we reduce it to your many words with or get reduced to er. It's your turn to climb the ladder. Of course, if I'm comparing my turn to someone else's turn and I want to emphasize the word your then I will say your with an O R. Hey, it's not my turn. It's your turn to climb the ladder. We heard the singer at the church do not eliminate medial and final are.

If your word has a long a long E long eye, or only before an R, you're going to want to add a y sound in between the vowel and the R, so that the R is easier to hear. You will actually add the y plus an ER sound spared sounds like spay plus years spared. The common mistake is to say the vowel plus R word in such a way that we don't hear the art at all. So let's practice distinguishing between these word pairs where the first word has an R, but the second word doesn't. You'll need to add the Y To make it very clear that you mean the first word and not the second word. spared, spayed.

Paired, paid. So when I say paired, almost like it has two syllables, pe plus years, pe or rd, it's much easier to understand that I wanted the R. But if I tried to say it all is one syllable, paired. I might sound British or someone might think I just meant paid. So be very careful to make a strong R and add the Y first paired versus paid character. Now character is a long word so we don't have time to make too syllables, but you can make the our blends into the second syllable. Care, Rick.

So I'm feeling the Rick and character. That way the arm will definitely be there. Cheers. Cheese. Weird. weed.

So it's not that important. And I don't say for I don't say ask for pure water. I say ask for ask for four became four, so you don't have to add any w or anything. Now let's study the AR spelling. AR is either going to be short u plus R, or short O plus R. Let's find out when we Which one, the AR will sounds like short u plus AR before a voiceless consonant and the AR will sound like short O plus er before a voiced consonant or at the end of a word. Here are words with short you plus r before a voiceless non vibrating consonant sharp.

Notice I did not say sharp, you don't have to open your mouth all the way. The P is voiceless so we can keep the a like a small short you sharp cart. Hart arch Ark Park Arthur sorry See? harsh.
