What is the episode introduction and purpose of Pronunciation Tuesday?
All right, friends, welcome back. It's Pronunciation Tuesday. What? Yeah, it's Pronunciation Tuesday. Yesterday, we had an idiom. Today, we're going to have a pronunciation. We're mixing it up this week on our two-minute podcast episodes. My name is SL Rockfish. Welcome back to English Makes No Sense. Today, we're training one of the hardest pronunciation pairs in English. What is it, Sarah? The R and the L. Listen carefully.
Which difficult English sounds are we focusing on β R or L?
Rock.
Lock. Road. Load.
Rot. Lot. For R, your tongue pulls back. And your lips round slightly. If you're watching on video, you can see me. For L, your tongue touches the roof of your mouth behind your teeth. Oh, I hope I have nothing in my teeth. Okay, your tongue touches the roof of your mouth behind your teeth. Let's practice. Repeat after me.
How do you position your tongue and lips to produce R correctly?
Rah.
Lock. Road. Load. Rot. Lot. Now faster. Rock.
How do you position your tongue to produce L correctly?
Lock. Road. Load.
Rot. Lot. Don't overthink it. Focus on tongue position, not spelling. And here, make sure a small tongue movement makes a big difference. Keep practicing your R's and your L's. The more you practice your pronunciation, the better it improves.
What final tips and motivation are given to improve R and L pronunciation?
It'll improve much quicker with a little bit of practice and a lot of practice. You will be amazed. Go on, you can do it. Practice your R's, really, really want you to, and your L's. La, la, la, la, lovely to have you here. All right, have a great day, friends. Peace.
Hello. All right, it's two minutes. I'm over. It's almost three. Over three.
What practice words and repetition exercises help distinguish R vs L?
Peace, friends. I gotta go. See you tomorrow, I hope. And practice.
