Today, I am going to teach you the difference between...

So, looking phonetically we have

For many English learners it's very difficult to make that transition from the 'R' sound

in worrrrrr
7
54980
2100
00:57
and then the 'L' worrrrrrrld... and then finish with the 'D'

First of all let's focus on the name 'Earl'

01:10
It's kind of 3 sounds.
10
70260

01:15
Then add a 'W'
11
75820
2240
01:22
And lastly add the 'D' to the end. World wide web

Word, world, word, world. So, I think you guys have got that. Let's actually start using
13
85990
8190
01:34
this in context. So, I'm gonna say a phrase very slowly, I'm going to introduce the aspects
14
94180
8030
01:42
of connected speech where we join that phrase together, and all of these phrases are going
15
102210
4870
01:47
to contain word or world.
16
107080
2970
01:50
So, I'm going to say it slowly so you can really pay attention to each individual sound,
17
110050
6400
01:56
and then much quicker because I want you to imitate exactly how I am saying it.
18
116450
5600
02:41
I am guessing that was a little difficult for you to repeat that phrase exactly how I said
19
161700
5430
02:47
it, but remember with pronunciation it's all about practice. You're slowly gaining control
20
167130
6800
02:53
of your mouth muscles and getting more accustomed to the English phonetics, the English pronunciation.
21

The more you practice this, the better and better you are going to get.
22

03:04
Watch this video again, go through that exercise again, really practice and focus on each individual
23
184260

sound of the language and you are going to be very very surprised at how quickly your
24

English pronunciation and comprehension will improve.
