How about the best engaging word I've ever seen. It's the "Hi" from you, Vanessa. I littrally open the video just to hear it from you, Ammmazing! Anyway, I'm having trouble pronouncing "freight forwarder" fast, tricky.

February...that one was hard for me! And I didn't even know that I was pronouncing it incorrectly.

@derby2510 4 жыл бұрын

That's because you weren't pronouncing it incorrectly. You don't have to drop the R. It's more common to say it without the R, but to say that pronouncing it with the R is wrong is nonsense. It is the older, but still viable, pronunciation.

Both are fine. You'll find that it changes with the location of the speaker. 'Bur-ri' and 'be-ri' are the two ways that you can say this. 'Be-ri' is the most common way, especially when adding an -ed to the end. Most English-speakers should understand you regardless.
