Hello and welcome everyone. This is Minoo at Anglo-Link.
The letter 'r' is sometimes called the 'bossy R'
because it influences how the vowel letter before it is pronounced.
For example, this word is' gem'.
Now, let's add an 'r' after the 'e', and the pronunciation changes to 'germ'.
In today's lesson, we're going to look at examples of this very challenging part of English pronunciation
So, you can see that it is not easy to decide how a vowel letter is pronounced
by simply looking at the spelling of a word or following pronunciation rules.
To develop good listening and speaking skills, you must make pronunciation practice
an important part of your studies.
On my online self-study course, we have voice recorded all the content
and also given you access to voice recognition software
so you can improve not only your grammar and vocabulary
but also your pronunciation in every lesson.
You can join my course by visiting anglo-link.com.
And, if you want to further improve your pronunciation, I would highly recommend
