Hello there!
This is the "Sounds American" channel.
This is an advanced exercise
to fine tune your pronunciation of the American sounds /r/ and /l/.
Pronunciation of the American /r/ sound
is tricky for the majority of non-native English speakers.
The /l/ consonant can be challenging as well,
especially for those people
who don't have this sound in their native language.
In our previous videos
we've already practiced these sounds.
The next step toward speaking with an American accent
is practicing them in words with BOTH
/r/ & /l/.
You'll likely find it difficult,
but you'll love the results.
This is how it works
You'll see a word on the screen and hear its pronunciation.
Like this:
Repeat each word after the speaker.

Go slowly and try to copy the pronunciation as best as you can.
Pause if you need more time.
Let's begin.
You're done!
Congratulations!
Take a break, get some rest and come back soon.
Stay tuned on our Sounds American channel!
