Finally a teacher was able to teach it to me by simply explaining it was very close to the G sound. But not dropping the R still is a challenge.

I am going crazy every day. I listen to American podcasts and watch children’s stories for more than two hours, and I did not find any improvement. When I was shocked by my English language today at the doctor, I started to fumble with words as if I were from another planet. I hope for a solution from

Hi Saad - I'm sorry to hear about your experience at the doctor!I hope the videos on my channel can help you with your pronunciation! :)

You can add subtitles to the video so that it is correctly translated into another language, because auto-generation of English and then translation into another language is so-so. But, this is at your discretion.

Thanks for the suggestion, Floki! :)

I have doubts about the pronunciation of the word "Cure". I'm aware the this word begins with some sort of cluster /k/ as in cat + /y/ as in yes, so we have /ky/. However, the Vowel sound in this word kind of tricks me up. I don't know for sure if it's /or/ as in more o if it's /er/ as in her. Sometimes I even hear this word pronounced with some kind of /oo/ as in food /kyoor/. It's so confusing. Is there any standart pronunciation or ALL three pronunciation are fine? /kyor/, /kyer/, /kyoor/? What the heck!

@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent Күн бұрын

Great question! And the answer is...all three pronunciations! It just depends on the speaker, where they're from, and their preferences. I've heard all three pronunciations you mentioned in your comment :)

Nice animation! But it's impossible to feel the side of the tongue for me. I don't think most people have conscious control over manipulating the side of their tongues.

@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent Ай бұрын

Thank you! I agree - it is challenging to feel the sides of the tongue, but I think that awareness can improve with focused practice :)

Why is it so hard to pronounce L after american r. For example in 'yourlife'. I can pronounce words like girl and world because they have dark L. But in yourlife....tongue is back and it takes time to bring it front to pronounce L in life 😢😢😢

@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent Ай бұрын

Hi Fynn - Thanks for your question! I'm not sure why the phrase "your life" is challenging for you, but the word "girl" is easy for you - usually it's the opposite! But you're probably correct that it has something to do with the tongue movement. Maybe for you, it's just harder for your tongue to move forward to make the L in the phrase "your life" but within a single word, your tongue is able to make the same movement without difficulty. But keep practicing - it will get easier! :)

NO, I definitely don't want to speak the way Americans do. Not really a pleasant accent, on the contrary. Don't know why I keep getting these recommendations here on KZfaq.
