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/, 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.

Listen closely.

I'll say a sentence or phrase.

You try to understand.

That's all for now.

Thanks for watching and happy studies!
