The R is one of the hardest sounds in English…but it doesn't have to be after this episode ;)

In American English, there are two R sounds: the strong R (red, around, crazy) and the soft R, or R vowels. That's when the R appears AFTER a vowel (car, here, first). 

In this focused practice session, we're working through the 5 key R vowel sounds together.

For each sound, I'll give you words and example sentences to follow along with. 

By the end, these tricky words like world, work, word, girl and first won't feel so scary anymore.
