Today's lesson
Mouth exercises: Pronouncing the R sound
Brain exercises: describing the benefits of an exercise and giving instructions.


Slide 1 - Slide

First of all! Recap of  last week... the Th sound
Th sounds:
Three trees 
It's wet weather
My brother is an athlete
Take a deep breath through your mouth



Slide 2 - Slide

Mouth Exercises: R sound
Depending upon where someone comes from, a native English speaker will pronounce the r in different ways:
In British English it tends to not be heard.
In Scottish English, Irish English and American English it is heard, however it is not as pronounced as in Dutch and Russian.

Slide 3 - Slide

Dutch r 

Produced in the throat (you feel tension in the throat).
The mouth tends to move horizontally.
Aim: to roll the r.

English r 

Produced somewhere between the middle and the back of the mouth.
No tension in the throat!
The mouth moves vertically: the jaw drops down slightly.
Aim: to not hear the r.

Slide 4 - Slide

R pronounciation (1)
An "r" at the end of a word is often not pronounced
Instead it sounds like a short "eh" at the end of the word:
Shoulder - "shouldeh"
Teacher - "teacheh"
Order - "ordeh"

Slide 5 - Slide

R pronunciation(2)
When a word ending in r is followed by a word which starts with a vowel, the r is heard more clearly. 
In this case the two words are often linked and pronounced together:
your ankle - "your-rankle"
your eyes - "your-reyes"
(Aim to keep the r pronunciation soft). 

Slide 6 - Slide

R pronounciation (3)
R at the start of a word / in the middle of a word:
Aim to keep the sound in the middle of the mouth. You don't want to feel any tension near your throat! 

Raise.                 
Return.              
Turn
Increase
Roll


Slide 7 - Slide

Practise time!

These exercises are for improving your "r" pronounciation!
