Hello! This is learn British English Free on YouTube. My name is Chris; I'm from the
UK and I am going to do another pronunciation lesson for you. This time
four words beginning with 'f' and 'l' followed by a vowel sound. Please enable
captions or subtitles to read on the video and please look down there for the
words, the example sentences, and the phonetic transcriptions to help you
understand. The first word in this lesson is one of the hardest: 'flood'. Flood.
When there is too much water everywhere: flood. The next one is what we walk on:
'floor'. Floor. A bird flies; a plane flies; in the past it is 'flew'. Flew. Next - another
word to do with water: 'flow'. Flow.
And the last one: very pretty things; 'flower'. Flower. Let's try the example
sentences. Remember - they don't make sense; they're just for pronunciation. 'A fierce
flow flooded the floor.' That is slow words and strong forms; now faster with
connected speech: 'a fierce flow flooded the floor.' 'The flickering flame flowed
and flew over the floor to the door.' 'The flickering flame flowed and flew over
the floor to the door.' 'Flowers fought off the flood of flames.' 'Flowers fought off
the flood of flames.' Flamingos flew over the flowers.' 'Flamingos flew over the
flowers.' Please keep practising and take care with the different sounds the words
we make when we speak slowly and when we speak more quickly. I hope these examples
were useful for you. Thank you for watching; my name is Chris
