Exercise 6-3: How to Pronounce Troublesome Rs CD 3 Track 45
The following seven R sounds, which are represented by the ten words, give people a lot of trouble, so we're going to work with them and make them easy for you. Repeat.

1. Were is pronounced with a doubled [ər]: [wərər]
2. Word is also doubled, but after the second [ər], you're going to putyour tongue in place for the D and hold it there, keepingall the air in your mouth, opening your throat to give it that full-voiced quality (imagine yourself puffing 1 your throat out like a bullfrog): [wərərd], word. Not [wərd], which is too short. Not [wordə], which is too strong at the end. But [wər'ərd] word.
3. In whirl 2 the R is followed by L. The R is in the throat and the back ofthe tongue stays down because, as we've practiced, L starts with the schwa, but the tip of the tongue comes up for the L: [wər•rə•lə], whirl.
4. World/whirled, like 5 and 7, has two spellings (and two different meanings, of course). You're going to do the same thing as for whirl, but you're going to add thatvoiced D at the end, holding the air in: [wər•rəl (d) ], world/whirled. It should sound almost like two words: wére rolled.
5. Here, you have an [o] sound in either spelling before the [ər]: [wo•ər], wore/war.
6. For whorl, you're going to do the same thing as in 5, but you're going to add a schwa + L at the end: [wo•ərəl], whorl.
7. This sound is similar to 5, but you have [ε] before the [ər]: [wε•ər], where/wear.
The following words are typical inthat they are spelled one way and pronounced in another way.
The ar combination 3 frequently sounds like [εr], as in embarrass 4 [embεrəs]. This sound is particularly clear on the West Coast. Onthe East Coast, you may hear [embærəs].
