home address you can do as long as you bring food I think it could be fun I
would be very grateful yeah anyway as we said in the previous video we are doing
this video on R Insertion or intrusive R because it's another important
fact about connected speech and it will help you to sound more like a native
speaker the simplest way of sort of understanding it is when two vowel
sounds come together at the end of a word and the start of
another word we start hearing this extra R slipping in and some people say it's
not the correct way to speak and it only exists in some accents but if you're
learning English in RP which is the way we speak you will start to hear this
intrusive R so it's worth learning so that you sound more like a native this
video isn't just for those of you learning English as a Second Language
it can also be particularly helpful for Americans learning a standard English
accent because you don't have an intrusive R in your accent not in the
same way that we do so all of these examples that we're about to give are
actually really helpful for you if you're trying to sound more British in
your accents whether you're acting or anything so for instance I saw a
ghost the R which comes after W in saw in American would be I saw a ghost
you don't get the I saw I saw a ghost and just every single time in this
lesson where you hear the R sound it's important to remember that this is one
of the key things towards perfecting your British accent so we'll give you
some examples it tends to mainly happen on words that end in an or sound and
then a vowel sound afterwards so the first one law and order yes so a popular TV show
and you wouldn't say law and order unless you were probably saying it really slowly or
saying it for stress or sort of saying it for someone to hear it really well
yeah you just roll over and say law and order if you listen to that really
carefully you hear a: Rand order Law & Order Law & Order
another example is draw a circle so draw a circle there is no R apart from the
first R in draw there's no R at the end of that word but for some reason we just
insert one in there exactly another example is there's a flaw in her
argument and we mean flaw as in a bad quality, an error. Flaw in, a flaw
flaw is also an example of a word that's got ... said the same way but has
two different meanings these are called homophones so floor as in the floor we
walk on and flaw as in error there's a flaw in her argument and the
little intrusive R that we've just spoken about there, listen to it really
carefully another example is for instance i saw a ghost
so you don't say i saw a ghost it's saw ra, i saw a ghost so after the W
in saw we get this invisible R... it's not invisible
you can hear it I saw a ghost so as I said earlier it mainly happens with
words that end in OR and then a vowel afterwards but it also happens in other
vowel words for example if our channel wasn't called Joel and Lia but
Lia and Joel you add an R after Lia which is why we didn't name it that
because there's too many mouth movements LiaR and Joel it just appears
from nowhere it doesn't quite roll off the tongue as
well as Joel and Lia exactly so there you have it so guys we
