Good afternoon, evening, or whatever time of the day you are watching this, welcome
to the video.
My name is Ronnie.
Today, tonight, this evening, I'm going to teach you one super fantastic trick so you
can finally learn how to say "are" in English 100% all the time.
This is not an infomercial.
This is free stuff.
I want you to think about your own language for one second.
People, especially from Korea, and Japan, and parts of China, and people that speak
these languages, you have a very difficult time to say "are" because it's not in your
language.
So, there is a technique that I need you to learn, I need you to remember.
If you are from Korea, you will know that this is not a little "t".
This is actually the Korean sound for "u".
If you are Japanese, or you understand or know how to speak Japanese, you will see this
symbol and the sound will be "u".
With some help from my Chinese friends, I have learned that this Chinese character actually
sounds like "wu", but this is as close as I can get because, unfortunately, I don't
know Chinese.
I'm sorry.
I have to study.
So what we are going to do is we are going to use your language, Korean, or Japanese,
or Chinese, and I'm going to teach you one trick to help you say this letter all the
time.
This symbol that I've written here sounds like the English letter "u".
So what I want you to do is every time in English you see the letter "r", like my name,
"Ronnie", I want you to make the "u" sound at the beginning of the word, or the middle,
or the end of the word, depending on where the "r" is.
So for example, I would say "Ronnie".
It's hard for you to say "Ronnie", so all you're going to do is put your Korean symbol,
or your Japanese symbol, or your Chinese symbol here, and go "Ronnie".
Try that.
"Ronnie".
Can you do it?
Let's practice how we would say this in the beginning of a word, the middle of a word,
and then at the end of a word, and in the beginning, the chaos.
Can you handle it?
The first word is "room".
So what I'm going to do is to help you, I'm going to write the symbols here.
We have "u", and hopefully I've done this right in the Chinese language.
I don't know.
If you know and I've done it wrong, please email me and let me know.
So you're going to say "room", "room", "room".
The next word is "rule", "rule".
Again, you're going to put your symbol here, and you're going to say it at the beginning
of the word, you're going to go "rule", "rule".
Same for this word, "rate", "rate".
Try it.
See if you can do that.
"Room", "rule", and "rate".
Give it a try.
Now even if the "r" is in the middle of a word, don't worry, do my little trick.
Put your symbol before the "r", just put it in here, and it'll help you every time you
try and make the "r" sound.
So this word is "learn".
So what you're going to do is "learn", "learn", "learn English".
Next one, "more", "more".
If you add your little symbol before the "r" sound, you're going to make the "r" sound
every single time.
It's fantastic.
Next one is "friend", "friend", so you're going to say "friend".
Try these words yourself, "learn", "more", "friend".
Can you do it?
The very, very last three words are very difficult.
Don't worry.
We can do it.
Check this out.
This is our test.
If we can make these sounds, you've got it.
This word is very difficult.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put my symbols here.
I hope I've got this right.
And we're going to go "ruler".
So you're going to put the "u" here, and you're going to put the "u" here, and you're going
to say "ruler", "ruler".
Fast, we say "ruler".
Try it, "ruler".
Yeah?
The next one, oh, even harder, is "rule".
It sounds exactly like this word.
So this word is "rule", but if you stretch it out and say it with our lovely "u" pronunciation,
it sounds almost exactly the same.
This is "rule", "rule".
Again, put your symbols here to help you, and you'll do this every single time.
Next word, "regular".
So we have an "r" sound here, and an "r" sound at the end of the word again.
So you're going to say "regular".
Put your symbol in here, and you should be able to say "regular", "regular".
Can you do it?
I want you to email me at www.engvid.com, and tell me, do you work?
Did this work?
Can you do it?
Have I solved the life problem to help you with the "r"?
I hope I have.
My name's Ronnie.
Goodbye.
