Lessons Unit 3, lesson 21

ɹ + vowels

The ɹ beginning opening into every vowel it starts words with. Get the mouth ready for ɹ, release straight into the vowel — no gap, no extra sound between them.

ɹthe r in red

Curl your tongue tip up and slightly back — it touches nothing at all. Round your lips a little: red, run. No rolling, no tapping.

ɹ + every vowel

One row per combination. Tap any word to hear it — every sheet comes straight from the tool.
