TRANSCRIPT
Hello there! This is the "Sounds American" channel.
This is an advanced exercise to fine tune your pronunciation of the American sounds /r/ and /l/.
Pronunciation of the American /r/ sound is tricky for the majority of non-native English speakers. The /l/ consonant can be challenging as well, especially for those people who don't have this sound in their native language.
In our previous videos, we've already practiced these sounds. The next step toward speaking with an American accent is practicing them in words with BOTH /r/ & /l/.
You'll likely find it difficult, but you'll love the results.
[Pronunciation exercise]
This is how it works.
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation. Like this.
