R-Insertion

Here's a problem we had in class today: r-insertion. It happens when a word ends in a vowel, especially [a] (ア) or [o] （オ）. If your tongue moves from the bottom of your mouth to the middle of your mouth when you say the vowel, it can sound like an "r".


A word like "so" can sound like "sore," "sofa" can sound like "so far," and "idea" can sound like "I dear."


This is a serious problem for some people, and it can change the meaning of what you say, so please learn to use English well!
