روز دهم - کوتاه کردن OR, FOR, THEIR, THEY'RE

It’s Day 10, and I’ve got a tip for you. Let’s look at three or four small words with an R and talk about how they sound in fast speech.

English with Jennifer. Sometimes a vowel plus an R can end up sounding like a weak ‘er’ sound. /ɚ/ For example, “for” can change to /fɚ/. “I have a tip for you.” “Or” can be reduced to /ɚ/.

I said, “Let’s look at three or four small words.” three or four small words /ðɛr/, there which could be written two different ways, can sound like /ðɚ/ in fast speech. Let’s talk about how they’re reduced. How /ðɚ/ reduced.

Look at these examples. Pay attention to how I say the vowel plus R sounds.
