Have you ever listened to a native English speaker and thought:
“I know all those words… so why can’t I understand what they’re saying?”
Sometimes, the problem isn’t your vocabulary.
It isn’t your grammar.
It’s what happens between the words.
Meet the Intrusive R, a small but fascinating feature of connected speech that can make natural British English sound very different from the English you learned in a textbook.
For example, you might expect to hear:
law and order
But in natural connected speech, it may sound more like:
law-r-and order
Where did that R come from?
In this FREE mini pronunciation lesson, Nick Price explains exactly what is happening and helps you train your ears to recognise the Intrusive R when you hear it in real conversations.
What you’ll learn
You’ll discover:
- what the Intrusive R is
- why an R sound can appear between two words
- how vowel sounds connect in natural English
- common examples such as law and order, I saw a film and the idea of it
- why understanding connected speech can make native speakers easier to follow
- how to practise the sound naturally without exaggerating it
Your FREE worksheet
You’ll also receive a practical worksheet containing examples of phrases in which you may hear the Intrusive R.
Use it alongside the video to listen, notice, repeat and practise.
The aim isn’t to force an R into your speech.
The first step is simply to hear it.
Because sometimes becoming a better English listener isn’t about learning hundreds of new words.
It’s about finally recognising what native speakers are doing with the words you already know.
This free lesson is perfect for you if…
You understand English well but sometimes struggle to follow native speakers, especially when they speak naturally or quickly.
It’s also ideal if you’d like to improve your British English pronunciation, connected speech, listening skills and spoken fluency.
