To download the practice sheet click here: https://theaccentsway.com/the-r-in-english-podcast-freebie/ Many non-native speakers of English struggle with the R in English.  Not only that this sound is challenging to pronounce (put the tongue where?!?) and makes us feel like pirates, but it also keeps changing depending on where it’s positioned. So even though it might be easy to pronounce in some words, it could be impossible to pronounce in other words and that makes us feel like the R is impossible!  To understand the R we need to do three things: Understand how to pronounce it Understand the different types of R sounds and what might be the challenge of each  Practice, practice and then practice some more. In this episode I’m going to walk you through each and every one of those steps, and at the end, even offer you the perfect way to practice with my practice sheet and audio: https://theaccentsway.com/the-r-in-english-podcast-freebie/ I’m also going to talk about the difference between the American R and the British R!

One of the most defining characteristics of the Standard American English accent is “rhoticity,” or the pronunciation of the letter R. Unlike Standard British English, Standard American English always pronounces the letter R regardless of its position within a word. In today’s episode, we trace the origins and evolutions of this feature of Standard American English. (Spoiler alert: The prevalence of American rhoticity has ebbed and flowed over time.) 

In this episode, I am going to give you a tip for learning American Pronunciation.

Last evening after dinner, Rose proposed a walk in the neighborhood. The air was really cool, and the wind gentle. Why not? I've always loved to walk, partly because I'm a lover of nature, also walking cools my mind and enables me to inspect myself from a distance. And that's exactly what I needed now.I had a panic moment a week ago, when it marked the one-month period after my resignation from my university teaching job. There's a big fat credit card bill to pay because I had been quite lavish in my spending lately. And the sense of not working started biting me, not for the sake of money, but for the need of validating my value as a person.During last week, I busied myself designing my business card and podcast cover artwork, posting recruiting ads on the Internet, and most significantly, I started a podcast show. Everything above was time-intensive, and I got so obsessed with the notion of getting things done. I would sit by my desk for 3 hours without a break, intent on refining my design, writing show script, editing my recording, etc. And my right shoulder was mildly aching with a frozen and numbing sensation. Worst of all, I became glued to my phone when I was not working on my computer, constantly checking the number of hits of my show.We were walking along the small park now. Passers-by, mostly old people, were clapping their hands or stretching their arms while walking, which Rose always found amusing. I realized how long I hadn't done any deep reading, and the book that had only a few pages left unread was still lying on the coffee table unfinished. What's the point of working?I hate working. I hate it because it takes away most part of my days (and the best part), and I will be mentally controlled by work-related stuff even after work. “I would never take a 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday kind of job”, mentally I said to myself. We went to Metro Mart, and bought a batch of eggs for breakfast. Luckily the line wasn't long. There was a Muslim woman taking care of her annoyingly loud grandson. What a shame! He's going to be another Muslim and have a lot of annoying children of his own. “I'm not bankrupt, Rose.” I suddenly said.“Great!” was the response.“I don't want you to be anxious about my finances, cos when you are, I will be so upset and anxious myself.” “I will not”.I felt relieved. And I was thankful for the liberal-mindedness. I secretly laughed at myself for being so foolishly narrow-minded in the last few days, for becoming so blind of the meaning and wonderfulness of life. Truly enjoying every day is already a contribution to society. Having control over one's life, instead of being driven by it, is already validation of one's value. A nice walk on the first day of Autumn.

Here’s how to practice your American Pronunciation – imagine that you take some water in your mouth, then start watching my video and repeat every sentence after me! Here’s the sounds you have to FOCUS on: R sound, flap T sound, W sound, ‘Ash’ sound, dark L sound - the more you practice, the better you’ll get at it! Video Transcript Below: Hi guys, it's Robby here from AccentAdventure.com where we learn to sound like American English speakers, right? But in case you don't really aspire to sound like an American English speaker, if your goal is just to improve your pronunciation enough to sound decent while communicating with other people in English, you still may want to check out the blog, AccentAdventure.com right here! Just click on this link and it's going to take you to my blog where you'll find dozens upon dozens of very relevant articles and videos and it's all about pronunciation improvement. It's not necessarily how to sound like a British English speaker or an American English speaker but it's going to improve your accent big time, even if you don't aspire to sound like a person coming from a specific geographic area. But anyway, the whole thing it's geared more towards the American pronunciation and that's what I'm probably more passionate about myself personally and that's the road I'm taking anyway. And in today's video we're going to look at much the dreaded English sound, TH, right? TH sound which is the “the”, the voiced version of it, right? TH like in the word “the,” right? “The” and the unvoiced version TH like in the word “thumb”, all right? Biggest Mistake Made by Foreigners – OVERDOING the TH Sound! And this is what a lot of foreigners get wrong when they're trying to use this sound or to pronounce this sound when they speak, right? They try to get it like in a book, right? They tell you that you have to pronounce it this way - you have to place your tongue between your teeth like that. This and these, that and those, this is how the TH goes, right? There's a saying like that. And you guys are probably trying to get it just like in the book when you speak and that's when you start running into an awful lot of problems. And the reason being, in real life I've yet to meet a native English speaker who pronounces these words like that: this and these. Nobody does that. Nobody :!: Because in reality the TH voiced sound TH becomes more like D. It's something like the D sound, right? It's just that it's not really a stressed D. Nobody really says “Dis”, right? Although there are certain native English speakers who say that, who speak that way when they come from specific geographical areas. But anyway, that's beyond our discussion today. Don’t Place Your Tongue BETWEEN the Teeth – It’s WRONG! Suffice it to say that, you just have to place the tip of your tongue behind your teeth. TH. TH. Like that. TH. This. This. This. It's this. It's this. Nobody really says “it's this.” People say “it's this”. It's the 100th video on my YouTube channel. It's the 100th video. Nobody really says “it's the 100th video.”  It's the 100th. And speaking of the unvoiced version, the TH, the TH sound as in the word thumb, it becomes T. It's more like T. 100th. For the 100th time. It's my thumb. Thumb, right? Obviously it's not the very same as T. It's not my tumb. It's thumb. It's something between the thumb and tumb, right? Thumb. Thumb. Thumb. Thumb. But it's more closer to the T sound, right? So you've got to be imagining that you're actually pronouncing the word tumb instead of thumb to get it right. And why I said that a lot of foreigners run into problems when they're trying to nail this sound and make it sound textbook like? The reason being, they get it completely wrong. They go overboard, okay? And in relation to this I want you to check out this particular article called “Don't overdo your English pronunciation” - click right here. It's going to take you to my blog where you're go...

Hi guys and welcome back to Robby's Accent Adventure video blog! And in this video we're going to look at the pronunciation of the following words: interesting, internet, interact, interview, right? And this is typical for the American pronunciation. If you're trying to speak like a British English speaker obviously, it's not really the case. So this is specific to American pronunciation. And for those of you guys who might not be familiar with me, I'm Robby and I'm a foreign English speaker. My national background is Latvian, it's an Eastern-European country and I've been living in an English speaking country for 13 years now, right? And I've been constantly speaking with myself practicing my spoken English and for a good few years now I've been trying to sound like an American English speaker and obviously it has helped a great deal. A few years ago I wouldn't have been able to speak like this, right? So what's so interesting about the words interesting, internet, interact? If you listen to the way I pronounce them, you'll definitely notice that letter “t”, basically the “t” sound tends to all but disappear! So it's not the “internet”, it's “INNERNET”. And it is especially obvious when you speak quite fast, when you pronounce the words slowly, I would imagine even native speakers would say “internet”, right? If you just pronounce that word individually. But if it's part of a larger sentence such as for example “Yesterday I was browsing the INNERNET for some INNERVIEW related information and I found very INNERESTING facts in relation to job interviews, right?” So basically when I speak quite fast, those words are pronounced with the “t” sounds omitted, right? And this is something you may want to take on board if you are trying to sound like an American English speaker.And especially if you live in the United States and you're trying to blend in in the local society, so, well, yeah, in that case it's definitely advisable that you pronounce the words internet, interview, interact and similar words without “t” sound, basically you just omit the letter “t”. And I'm pretty sure that in linguistics this particular phenomenon is known as assimilation. So basically if the “n” sound is followed by “t”, the “t” gets assimilated and you basically don't even hear it, all right? But we don't have to burden ourselves with all these linguistics terms. All that you need to know is that the words internet, interesting, interacts, interview are pronounced this particular way. So you definitely have to practice them. Basically don't go about the whole thing trying to sound like that when speaking with real people in real life, right? You have to do some spoken practice beforehand. And there's no better way of doing such practice than having it all organized in a very well-organized fashion basically using specific software. And that's where Accent Genie program steps in and you definitely may want to check it out, okay? Okay. Thanks for watching this video my friends. If you have any questions, please feel free to publish them in the comment section below. Bye-bye!

Have you ever thought you had enough of English learning while reading through books? Now, that's a mouthful to pronounce since in English the “ough” sound has many different pronunciations. One reason for the multitude of pronunciations is that many English words are borrowed from other languages. But sometimes, the words just aren't spoken as they are spelled.   English has many words which contain silent letters such as should, would, and could which contain the unpronounced “l.” As Gabby mentioned in this English podcast tip, Wednesday just does not sounds like it is spelled. English also contains the words “err”, “air”, and “heir” which are all spelled completely differently and yet are pronounced the same.   There are no real rules for how English words sound and how they are spelled. You just have to memorize the sounds sometimes. If you would like to learn more about this and other tips for improving your English fluency and gaining confidence in your speaking ability, then make sure you visit gonaturalenglish.com where Gabby will coach and guide you on your English language learning adventure.   Episode transcript below: Hey! How's it going? Welcome to the Go Natural English podcast – the best place to improve your fluency in the English language. In this quick English tip we're going to learn about how to improve your pronunciation in English to sound more like a native English speaker.

OK. So, without further ado, let's talk a little bit about pronunciation. One problem that I've noticed a lot of English learners having is how to pronounce words that seem to have a lot of extra letters in them that we don't say. For example, think about the word “Wednesday”, the day of the week. We write it, and you'd think that it would be said, “wed-nes-day” but that's not how we say it at all. We don't say, “wed-nes-day”, we say “wensday”. But you wouldn't know it from the way that we spell the word. Another word for example – take the word “autumn.” You would think that we would say it “ah-oo-tum-nuh” by the way that it's spelled but that's not at all how we say the word “autumn.” So, my advice for words like this and there are a lot of them in the English language is to remember that speaking English is not the same as reading English, or writing English. When you want to listen, and you want to speak English, or you want to listen to English, you want to understand what native speakers are saying, and when you want to speak and you want to sound like a native speaker, you have to remember the way that words are said. You have to remember the sound of the word and not the spelling. So, if you attempt to sound out every word from the English spelling, you will be sorry. The thing is English writing has a very loose relationship with its sounds. So, you have to learn the sounds if you want to understand English and ...

Hi guys! That’s me – Robby from AccentAdventure.com – and this time around we’re going to learn how to pronounce the following American phrase properly: WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU? The main focus here is on the sound created by the double TT in the middle of the word “matter” – it’s the so called FLAP T sound – and it’s actually much closer to the letter D than T! That’s the reason why I’ve transcribed the flap T sound with the letter D or with a two letter combination TD in my American Pronunciation learning program Accent Genie, and as you can see in the screenshot below – the FLAP T sound in the word “fitting” is transcribed with the two letter combination TD (just because in this case it’s not as close to D as in the word “matter”). But anyway – going back to today’s phrase WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU? – it basically becomes “What’s the maDer with you?” because Americans transform the double TT into a sound which is much closer to D (with a little hint of “R” in it probably). If you want to get it just right, however, please watch the video above where I’m looking at this phrase in depth and I’m also giving you a few useful tips on how to get the FLAP T sound just right. Other things that you have to watch out for when practicing this phrase are the W sound in the word WHAT’S and you also have to make sure to put stress on the first syllable of the word “matter”. So this is how you pronounce this phrase when speaking with American accent (the underlined syllable indicates the stressed syllable): Uat’s the maDer with you? Is it all a bit too confusing? Well, watch the video above and keep practicing till you get it right – practice is what makes one perfect, don’t you ever forget that! ;-) And of course, if you’re REALLY serious about your American accent and English pronunciation improvement in general, you definitely want to check out the Accent Genie program which is all about learning the American pronunciation in a fast and effective manner.
