今天的課程是關於

about the word tired now the reason I

發這個字的音是錯誤的 大部分的學生

就會念成成ti red

I'm very very tired tired but in British

我非常睿

English we don't pronounce the R so we

在英式英文中 我們不發字母R的音

say tired we do this kind of /j/ sound

我們念tired 中間發類似/j/的音

in the middle but we don't curl in to an /r/

完全不會念成捲舌音/r/
