Party vs potty

Do you also struggle with the R sound?
If the answer is yes, don’t miss out on today’s video lesson. 

You see, in American English, there’s an ‘easy’ R, and a ‘tricky’ R. 
The R that slips away and disappears when we don’t pay enough attention. 
So first  – It’s not you. It’s the R. 
When the R appears at the end of the word or before a consonant, It’s 
a little more challenging to pronounce.
This is why I made today’s video. 
To show you that when you break it down, IT IS possible! 🙂 

In this lesson you’ll learn:

  1. How to pronounce clearly and with elegance the /ar/ vowel sound (as in the words  ‘car’, ‘part’, hard’ and ‘starting’.)
  2. How to distinguish between word pairs such as party vs. potty, harder vs. hotter, farther vs. father. 
  3. A simple technique that will help you understand and practice tricky words  R, and make it super easy for you to pronounce the words clearly.

  1. Thanks for the great opportunity to heard your fluency class about and the episode of party vs potty. Both are good. It is a basic way to focus the student to overcome the odds of learn a new language. It was not easy to find the place to leave a comment.
    The others video a watch was not possible to leave a comment at all. See you in the next episode!!

  2. Hi Hader, Its really useful for me what you are doing about pronunciation. I think if you could write a book with a full video then it could be best!
