Improve your English pronunciation | R-controlled vowels

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

and ways to deal with it.

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 look forward to seeing  you again soon in my next lesson.

Goodbye for now.
