@@basicamericanpronunciation7726 Hello! Thank you for you content. What I and many other non-native English speakers stuggle with a lot is when the 'fast d' sound follows the 'r' sound as in 'harder' or 'sort of'. Do you think there could be some tricks to make that combination easier?
@@GlebZboroshenko Hi. It's a tough question. Maybe it sounds like "so dove"? or "sore of"? You could break it apart into "sore dove" and then compress it. - r lip position starts early with the s. The lips' sides pinch from initial s and it will sound more like a whistle than a hiss. This allows early preparation for the difficult positioning of the later r. Perhaps part of the issue is that without this early mouth preparation at s the r doesn't have time to form. Just a guess.
where you from? i know ppl pronounce these sounds differently depending on the accent they speak. And aren't gIRl and fingER slightly different sounds?

The word, "world" is challenging to pronounce too and it is such a famous English word.
'r' can be a big challenge, you're right!

Hi. Yes, they are slightly different sounds depending on if they are in a stressed or an unstressed syllable. I'm an American.
@@basicamericanpronunciation7726 and how about gIRl vs prefER, preferably are they different sounds or exactly the same to you?
