Yesterday's events inspired the topic for writing this post. Maybe someone will find it useful and informative.

Do we correctly pronounce the names of the brands that are present in our Everyday life? Let's take a little look at this topic, right and wrong, and whoever remembers, add it in the comments, or write it down and remember it!

Converse

Let's start with the beloved brand Converse - which did not originate from English verb“to conv?erse”, and from the name of the brand creator Marcus K?onverse, so let’s remember and now say correctly: converse - [k?onverse] – [?k?nv??s]

Coccinelle

Coccinelle - Coccinelle (which translates as “ladybug”) is a French word, but borrowed by the Italians, pronounced cochinelle in Italian and also translated as ladybugs, only in plural. So this is an exception and it is customary to say as the Italians do when talking about their brand.

Desigual

Desigual is a Spanish brand that can be found in our shopping centers. The word translated from Spanish means “not like everyone else,” “not the same,” or “unequal,” which is fully proven by the optimistic, bright collections designed for young guys and girls who want to stand out from the crowd. So, what is the correct way to pronounce this word desigual? al or desigu? al. Personally, in my practice, the Spaniards pronounced - desigu "al

Dsquared2

Dsquared2 - Men's and women's clothing and accessories, founded by Canadian twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten, is known for its collaborations with show business stars (with the help of the ubiquitous Madonna). The name of the brand comes from the first letters of the brothers’ names – D in a square. This is a “disqueed”, not a “disquared”, and it is not a Canadian brand at all, but an Italian one, since since 1991 the brand has been registered in Milan.

Loewe

My favorite Spanish ones are Loewe - in honor of the founder of the brand, we pronounce Loewe

TOUS

Spanish bears TOUS, here we pronounce it as we spell it - Tous

Hublot

Hublot (Ublo) is a famous Swiss brand specializing in the production of luxury watches. The brand was founded in 1980 and is currently subsidiary company international holding Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesy (LVMH). History The creator of Hublot watches, Carlo Crocco, grew up in an Italian family of watchmakers.

Guy Laroche

Guy Laroche - The English have a name called Guy and they pronounce it “Guy”, but the French call their Guys “Guy”. The milliner from the Atlantic hinterland of France, who began his career in “practical” haute couture and then in pret-a-porter in the late 40s of the 20th century, was called Guy Laroche.

Philipp Plein

One of the common mistakes is the pronunciation of the name of the German designer Philipp Plein. Philip was born in Germany, so his name should be pronounced in the German manner, “Plein,” and not in English, “Plein.”

Louis Vuitton

The name of the fashion house Louis Vuitton is correctly pronounced “Louis Vuitton”, but not “Louis Vuitton” or “Louis Vuitton”.

Alber Elbaz

The head of the Lanvin brand is Alber Elbaz. And the brand under his leadership is pronounced “Lanvan”. These are features of French pronunciation. So forget about Lanvin or Lanvin.

Levi's

Levi's - Having emigrated to America, Bavarian Loeb Strauss changed not only his life, but also his name. He adapted it in the American style - Levi Strauss. Therefore, your favorite jeans should be called “Levi” and nothing else.

Marchesa

Brand name Marchesa (brand of stunning couture dresses self made) should be read according to Italian rules: "Marchesa", not "Marchesa" in English, because the company got its name in honor of the Italian aristocrat Marchesa Luisa Casati.

Moschino

According to the same rules, the name of the Moschino brand is read - “Moschino”

Nike

Nike - The name of the company for the production of sportswear and equipment has Greek origin, is the English version of the name of the ancient Greek goddess of victory Nike. It sounds like Nike. This is how the company name is pronounced.

Hermes

The Hermes brand is correctly pronounced as “Hermes”, and nothing else. name is Hermes ancient Greek god trade and profit, and he certainly has nothing to do with modern fashion. In addition, the brand name is often pronounced as “Erme” and, it would seem, according to the rules of French transcription, this is correct. But do not forget that every rule has exceptions. This is exactly the case.

Azzedine Alaia

The name of the French designer of Tunisian origin Azzedine Alaia, whose outfits especially amazed fashionistas this year, is pronounced “Azzedine Alaia.” Usually, three vowels in a row in his last name are thrown into a stupor, but everything is much simpler than it seems.

Badgley Mischka

The wonderful “Baglai Mishka” shoes are not “Baglai” at all. Badgley Mischka is not the name of one person, as it might seem, but the surnames of the founders of the design duo: Mark Badgley and James Mischka. Accordingly, the brand name sounds like this: “Badgley Bear”.

Vionnet

Many pronunciation options can be heard in relation to the name Vionnet: “Vionet” or “Vionnet”. In fact, it's simple: "Vionnet" with an emphasis on the "e". This is exactly what the surname of the founder of the French House, the legendary Madeleine Vionnet, sounded like.

Elie Saab

Remembering the next Elie Saab brand, you will probably be assured that it is again about a woman. But no. The Lebanese designer is male. It is he who creates dresses of heavenly beauty. Oh yes, the correct pronunciation is "Elie Saab".

Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler - what kind of sharper? we're talking about? No, this is the new Proenza Schouler collection. The American brand is often called “Shuler”, although it should be “Proenza Schooler”. Almost like school in English. Much nicer than a scammer.

Do you remember the sweatshirts treated in the style of cracked paint? What name do they have? That's right, we're talking about the futuristic brand Balenciaga (sounds like Balenciaga).

Givenchy

The house of Givenchy, which amazed us with the aggressive Dobermans on its bags, should be called “Givenchy”, and not in the American manner – “Givenchy”.

Balmain

But in English-speaking countries, the name Balmain is often pronounced incorrectly - “Balmain”, but correctly it should sound like “Balmain”, while the letter “n” at the end is practically not pronounced. The founder of the brand was Pierre Balman.

Comme Des Garcons

The Comme Des Garcons brand is Japanese, but its name is French, so you should say “Comme des Garcons? n." Without the “s” in both cases and with an emphasis on the “o”. This is perhaps the strangest and most unusual brand, whose clothes many street fashionistas want to own.

Christian Louboutin

Of course, we can't ignore our favorite shoes with red soles! Christian Louboutin is pronounced as “Christian Louboutan”. It's easy to make a mistake though. Even in professional circles you can hear “Louboutin”, “Lobutan” or “Louboutin”. We certainly won’t be mistaken in the pronunciation of “red sole”!

Giambattista Valli and Gianfranco Ferre

The seemingly difficult names Giambattista Valli and Gianfranco Ferre are not so difficult when it comes to pronunciation. "Giambattista Valli" and "Gianfranco Ferré" respectively. The excessive abundance of letters does not make it difficult to read correctly.

Hedi Slimane

But Hedi Slimane is also often called incorrectly. But everything is simpler than it seems: “Hedi Slimane”, not “Hedy Slimane”.

Burberry Prorsum

We manage to make mistakes with Burberry Prorsum too. Sometimes it sounds like “Barberry Prorsum”, sometimes like “Burberry Prorsum”. But this is not the same song. “Berberry Prorsum” – check the box and remember..

Mary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou was born in Greece, but works in Britain, where she is called "Mary Katrantzou". This brand is loved by young fashionistas around the world. Mary is also known for her numerous collaborations with other fashion brands and mass markets.

Well, that's quite a long list. But these are not all names and fashion houses with complex pronunciation and interesting history. To stay informed and not fall flat on your face in some fashion boutique, before going to the store, go online and read a couple of new names in the fashion world.

For Louis Vuitton fans, this video will help you practice pronunciation.

How to correctly pronounce the names of world brands?

So how do you correctly pronounce the names of famous world brands? When people's opinions on how to speak correctly differ, many disputes arise, especially between foreigners and Russians.

1. Nike - Nike

The brand name comes from the name of the ancient goddess of victory Nike. But almost 95% of people living in Eurasia call it “Nike”.

2. Viber - Viber

“Viber” is the correct and only pronunciation of the name of the Viber application.

3. Adobe - Adobe

Adobe? Adobe? Edob? No. The correct English word in Russian will be “Edoub”.

4. Ebay

No “ebay”, “ibai” or “ebay” - this is simply an undermining of the entire Russian philology. The only correct sound will be “E-bay”.

5. Skype - Skype

It seems that we are all so accustomed to the popular application that is on almost every computer and phone. But still, many of us pronounce the name incorrectly. For example, "scape", "skoopy" or "skip", the correct pronunciation is "Skype".

6. Samsung - Samson

Samsung (which means “three stars”) correctly pronounce the word with the emphasis on the first syllable - “Samson”.

7. Xerox - Zirox

It may have been a discovery for you how to actually pronounce everyone famous brand Xerox. The fact is that in English-speaking countries the first letter “X” is always pronounced as “Z”. And at no point does it say “copier”.

8. Bosch - Bosch

The company was founded by inventor Robert Bosch. Therefore, the correct sound is “Bosch”.

9. Cisco - Cisco

"Kisko", "sisko" or "sysko"? No, it would be correct to say “Cisco” and nothing else.

10. Daewoo - Dave

According to the rules of the English language, it is pronounced as “Daewu”, but initially people used to say it as “Daewu”.

11. Intel - Intel

It would be correct to put the emphasis on the second syllable “IntEl”.

12. Dell - Dell

The pronunciation of the American corporation is more solid - “Dell”.

13. Htc - HTC

No “He-te-tse” and “Ash-ti-si”. IN English language correct pronunciation the letters are “HTC”.

14. Canon - Kenon

It is interesting that the name of the Canon brand in English sounds “KENON” (“k” becomes softer, the stress falls on the first syllable). And in America, people pronounce “kAnon” (the emphasis falls on the first syllable).

15. HP - HP

Hewlett-Packard Company - Hewlett-Packard Company, which is abbreviated as HP - "HP"

16. Atari - Atari

The word is of Japanese origin and means “I’m coming at you” and is correctly pronounced “Atari”.

17. Isuzu - Isuzu

Again, the word is of Japanese origin and they say it like this: “Isuzu”.

18. Toshiba - Toshiba

But in Japanese Toshiba is pronounced more softly: “Toshiba.”

19.Yahoo - Yahoo

One way to pronounce the name of Yahoo's search engine is "Yahoo."

20. Aser - Eyser

It is incorrect to say “aser” or “eser”; it is read and pronounced as “Eyser”.

21. Lamborghini - Lamborghini

Lamborghini is a manufacturer of expensive sports cars in Italy. In Italian, the reading rules indicate that "g" and "h" are pronounced like "G".

22. Hyundai - Hyundai

The correct pronunciation of the car brand is Hyundai (with emphasis on the last letter). “Hyundai”, “Hyundai” and “Hyundai” should never be said in Korea.

23. Porsche - Porsche

Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the company, it was in his honor that the car brand was named. The accent is on the first syllable "Porsche".

24. Mitsubishi - Mitsubishi

The Japanese shudder with horror when they hear "Mitsubishi", a completely incorrect pronunciation. For example, the same as “sushi”, correctly - “sushi”.

25. Jaguar - Jaguar

This is how you really need to pronounce the name of this brand correctly. To simplify things, Russian-speaking people simply say “jaguar”.

26. Geely - Lived

According to the rules, the letter “G” is pronounced like the Russian sound “ZHI”, and you need to pronounce it “Zhili”, not “Gili” or, even worse, “Gili”. If the initial letter was “J” (JAY), then it would be worth reading “Gili”. Of course, the brand name has a slightly different meaning for us, but it’s still correct.

The word's roots go back to the damned past. Wilhelm Maybach is an inventor of inventions.

28. Michelin - Michelin

“Michelin” is correctly pronounced in Russian like this: “Michelin”. In other languages, the word sounds like this: in French “Michelin”, in German “Michelin”.

29 Ssang-Yong - San Yeon

It’s much more common to hear “Ssang-Yong”, but it’s much easier and more correct to say “Sang-Yong”.

30. Acura - Acura

On our website we present to your attention a module that is quite useful in learning English: Sound Word. With its help, you can easily find out the pronunciation of English words and their transcription. In order to use it you need to enter the word you need and press the button "listen!".

After a short pause, the module will give you a transcription of the given English word, its pronunciation and, of course, translation. For the convenience of English language learners, there are two pronunciation options for the word: British and American. You can also listen to the pronunciation of English words online.

What is transcription?

Phonetic transcription is how the pronunciation of English words looks (graphically) in writing. Absolutely every single sound is recorded separately. Phonetic transcription is indicated only in square brackets, and special phonetic symbols are used to write it.

Why is transcription of English words needed?

English transcription is always useful to know for everyone, without exception, for everyone who studies the language. This will give you an advantageous opportunity to read with ease and greater accuracy and, as a result, correctly pronounce an unfamiliar English word on your own, without resorting to the help of a teacher. All students of the English language are well aware that reading English words is a rather specific process, which is based not just on the usual “folding” of words from letters, i.e. both it is written and read, but rather on the transformation of certain letter combinations into correspondingly certain combinations of sounds. Naturally, there are also certain rules for reading and pronunciation of English words, which must be clearly known and impeccably applied in practice. But believe me, there are many more words that do not obey these rules in the English language. And here transcription comes to our rescue, which allows us to find out the correct pronunciation of an English word, and, as a consequence, its correct reading.

We all love to show off the latest branded item. But, alas, not all of us, even the most advanced ones, know how to correctly pronounce the names of brands and famous brands clothes. Once again, after listening to the girls around me (by the way, they are often quite stylish), and after watching an episode of the program “America's Next Top Model,” which featured Christian LaCroy and Hermes, which I did not understand, I finally decided to write this post. Today we will learn how to correctly pronounce brand names.

If you want to argue, then please don’t do it here. I checked every entry, so if you haven’t heard with your own ears how Christian Lacroix said that his last name is pronounced “Lakroich”, then please don’t argue with me. I wandered through dozens of sites of people who do not get out from fashion shows and checked the correct pronunciation. I did not include those in which there were discrepancies.

Since there is a big problem with the accent icon in the console, I will highlight accents with a capital letter. Sometimes several pronunciation options are possible.

Alexander McQueen - [Alexander McQueen]

Giorgio Armani - [giorgio armani]/[giorgio armani]

Balmain - [balmAn]. Here, please pay attention: the brand is French, so the combination ai is read as “a”. Some particularly advanced people, of course, also read “Balmain,” but you’re not one of them, right?

Bulgari - [bulgari]

Burberry - [burberry].

Byblos - [byblos]

Cacharel - [kasharEl]

Carolina Herrera - [Carolina Herrera]

Cartier - [kartE]

Céline - [celine]

Chanel - [chanEl].

Chloé - [cloe]

Christian Dior - [Christian DiOr].

Christian Louboutin - [Christian Louboutin].

Christian Lacroix - [Christian Lacroix]

Clarins - [claRance]

Dior Homme - [diOr Ohm]. By the way, a note. Homme means "male, male" and is always and everywhere read as [Om]. Femme means “female, woman,” and is always and everywhere read as [fAm]. Accordingly, the names of perfumes “for him” - pour homme - will be read [pUR Om], and “for her” - pour femme [pUR fAm].

Dolce & Gabbana - [Dolce End Gabbana]/[DolchengabAna]/[DolchegabAna]

Dsquared - [diskEirt]. There is also a lot of controversy about this name, but that is how it is pronounced.

DKNY (Donna Karan New York) - [DI KEY N UAY, DONNA KARAN NEW YORK]

Emilio Pucci - [emilio pucci]

Escada - [escada]

Estée Lauder - [estE Lauder]. Here too interesting story. The name seems French, although the brand is American. Therefore, in such abnormal eclecticism, such a hybrid as [estE lauder] turned out.

Ermenegildo Zegna - [ermenegildo zegna]. But this is a must-know for all men.

Etro - [Etro]

Hermès. A very interesting story is happening with this brand. All over the world, including in Russia, ordinary people pronounce the brand name as “HerMes”. But it's not right. French people, whose land, in fact, gave birth to this brand, read the brand name as “ermE”. And they do it correctly from the point of view of French phonetics - the first letter is silent, the emphasis is on the last syllable, the last letter is not readable. But the French people forget that proper names can be exceptions to any rule. The founder of the brand was called Thierry Hermès, so the only correct pronunciation of the brand is [ermEs], with a slight aspiration on the first syllable.

Hublot - [Yublo]

Guy Laroche - [guy larOche]

Gianfranco Ferré - [genreAnco ferE]

Givenchy - [givenchy]. The founding father of the brand was named Hubert de Givenchy [Hubert de Givenchy]

John Galliano - [John Galliano]

Jean-Paul Gaultier - [Jean-Paul Gaultier]

Jimmy Choo - [Jimmy Choo]

Gucci - [guchi]

Guess - [gEs]. The vowel is somewhere between “E” and “E”

Jimmy Choo - [Jimmy Choo]

Lacoste - [laKost]

Karl Lagerfeld - [karl lagerfeld]. And tell these smart Anglomaniacs that Lagerfeld is German.

Levi Strauss - [Left Strauss].

Loewe - [lowe]. Listen.

Louis Vuitton - [luI vuitOn]/[luI vitOn]/[luI vuitton] - in all three cases the “n” is pronounced through the nose

LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) - [el ve em ash], [louis vuitton moët hennessy].

Stella McCartney - [STELLA MAC CARTNEY]

Mandarina Duck - [Mandarina Duck]

Max Mara - [max mAra]

Miu Miu - [miu miu]

Moschino - [MoskIno]. The designer's name is Franco Moschino

Nina Ricci - [Nina Ricci]

Paul Smith - [Paul Smith]

Pierre Cardin - [pierre cardan]. This is ideal. They often say “kardEn” - this is also acceptable. The main thing is not to be “cardin”.

Prada - [prada]. Designer: Miuccia Prada [miUcha Prada]

Ralph Lauren - [Ralph Lauren] - again a French-American linguistic setup.

Robert Piguet - [robEr pigE]

Salvatore Ferragamo - [selvatore ferragAmo]

Seiko - [seiko]

Sergio Rossi - [SERGEO ROSSI]

Sonia Rykiel - [Sonia Rykiel]

Shiseido - [shiseido]

Tommy Hilfiger - [Tommy HilfIge(r)]. English language, so the last letter is soft to read

Tissot - [tissO]

Ulysse Nardin - [Ulysse Nardin]. "U" is more like "Yu".

Van Cleef & Arpels - [van Cleef & Arpel]

Versace - [versAce]

Viktor & Rolf - [Victor and Rolf]

Wyler Genève - [Wyler Genève]

Yohji Yamamoto - [Yoji Yamamoto]

Yves Saint Laurent— [Yves Saint Laurent]

Zuhair Murad - [ZuhEr Murad]

When you study a foreign language, you learn not only a set of vocabulary and grammar, you in any case come across the culture and mentality of the people who speak this language. The best means of learning language and culture is reading in original. And to read on foreign language, you must first learn to read this language .

You don"t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. You can just make people stop reading them.

But, if at school or university you studied German or French languages, or your school base turned out to be smaller than you would like, and now you have decided to learn English, then let's start with the most primary and basic and find out several methods of where to start in order to master the rules of reading.

English alphabet

I think you know that English is different from Russian and German, in which we mainly write and read. In English the system is a little more complicated. The very first thing we need to do is learn the alphabet.

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, including 21 consonants and 5 vowels. Knowledge of letters and the ability to pronounce them correctly is the key to successful and competent reading in English.

English alphabet with transcription of letter names.

A very easy way to memorize letters visually and aurally is with the help of a song. Watch the video and sing the song until you remember the letters of the alphabet.

You can use the same method to teach the alphabet to your children and sing the song with your kids.

Reading rules in English

After studying the alphabet, we will begin to study the combination of letters and reading short words. There are a number of rules in the English language that you need to learn, practice and remember if you want to read English words correctly.

Rules for reading English consonants

Many consonants are read similarly to Russian consonants, for example the letters m, n, l, b, f, z. You can see this in words like mom, lemon, finger, boy, zebra .

Letters like t And d sound similar, but pronounced with aspirated. For example words table, teacher, dad, dirty.

Letter c has two reading options. Before letters i,e,y it reads like [s]- city, face, cyber. And before other vowels it is read as [k]- cat, cake, factory.

Rule with vowels i,e,y also works with letters g. In front of them it reads like - gym, George, giant. Before other consonants the letter is read as [g].

Letter q always occurs in a combination of letters qu and reads like - quick, queen, square.

Letter j always reads like - jacket, jam, joy.

Table of the relationship between consonants and sounds in English.

How to read vowels in English

In English, a word can end in an open or closed syllable, which affects pronunciation. For example words cat, pot, sit end in a closed syllable and have vowels a, o, i give sounds .

Words such as name, home, five end with an open syllable, since there is a letter at the end of the word e, which is not readable. But, thanks to her, the vowels in the middle of the word are read exactly the same way as they are pronounced in the alphabet, that is, the word name read .

Types of reading English vowels in stressed syllables.

Reading vowel combinations in English

There are certain combinations of letters that have established reading rules, although English is a language of exceptions, and when reading more difficult words you should consult a dictionary. The table below shows combinations of English vowels with examples how they are read and what sound they make.

Table of vowel combinations in English.

And of course, there are exceptions to all rules. However, don't worry and think that you will never be able to learn it. Everything can be understood, you just need to try and practice a little.

Diphthongs of the English language with transcription

When you study the basic rules of reading, you will see that in English there are diphthong sounds that are quite difficult to reproduce, especially if you begin to study the language not in childhood, but in adulthood.

Table of English diphthongs with transcription.

Transcription of sounds in English

Practice shows that when children learn a language, they must definitely study transcription, but adults do not want to learn it and it can be difficult for them.

If you still want to learn how to write and read transcriptions, then great! And if not, then you can use online dictionaries, where the word will be pronounced for you. One of the best dictionaries today are Multitran and online dictionary Lingvo.

Important!

Remember that you need to use dictionaries, not translators!

Here is an example of reading short words with transcription:

Table of vowel sounds in English and transcription.

Living in the Internet age has some advantages. While sitting at home, you can master various knowledge online. For your attention video lesson, which explains the basic principles of reading. However, even after gaining knowledge through online lesson, they need to be consolidated in order for a skill to be formed.

Learn English tongue twisters

Tongue twisters, which are often aimed at practicing one sound, can help you here. Here are some examples you can use.

Tongue twister in English	Translation into Russian
Whether the weather be fine, or whether the weather will not. Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot. We"ll weather the weather whether we like it or not.	The weather will be good or the weather won't be good. The weather will be cold or the weather will be hot. We can withstand any weather whether we like it or not.
Three swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched swiss witch-bitches, watch three swiss Swatch watch switches. Which swiss witch-bitch", which wishes to be a switched swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which Swiss Swatch switch?	Three Swiss witch bitches those who want to change their gender, looking at the three buttons on the Swatch watch. What a Swiss witch bitch those who want to change their gender, looking at what button on the Swatch watch?

Don't worry about tongue twisters! At this stage, when you are just learning to read and practicing sounds, it is important to pronounce them correctly, albeit slowly. You can always speed up.

Learn to hear English speech

After studying the basics, basic rules reading, you can use the method of repeating after the speaker. Your auditory memory will also work and you will hear how words are pronounced correctly and what intonation is in sentences.

For this, you can use short dialogues and audio books for beginners. At this level, it would be ideal if the text is in front of your eyes, you listen, read and repeat at the same time!

You can use such a great resource as Oxford bookworm Library, which features audiobooks for all levels. You can download the library for free

For those who continue to learn English, we recommend learning the language from films, which you can read about in the article

Work on your pronunciation

Learning to read is only the first step towards learning a language. Just like learning grammar and vocabulary, learning to pronounce and hear correctly is very important if you want to understand what is being said to you and say it so that you are understood. Especially if you speak with a native speaker.

As we said a little above, one of the best ways is listen carefully to native speakers and try to copy their pronunciation and intonation .

Particular attention should be paid to sounds that do not exist in your native language. Often, people learning English have a problem with the ‘r’ sound, since in Russian it is hard, but in English it is more guttural and growling.

There are also difficulties in pronouncing the two sounds that combination of letters 'th'. Students persistently pronounce it as ‘c’ and ‘z’. Although it is worth noting that in words such as this, that, there this sound is spoken as between ‘z’ and ‘d’. And in words like three, think, thief, it is pronounced as a sound between ‘f’ and ‘s’.

This may seem strange to you, since there are no such sounds in the Russian language, but if you listen to native speakers, you will understand that this is how they speak.

Don't worry if you can't say these words correctly the first time, it just takes a little practice. But, try to learn correctly from the very beginning, because it will be more difficult when you are forced to relearn.

Learn to pronounce phrases in English correctly

In English, words in sentences are not pronounced separately; they often merge as if into one whole, especially if it is a combination of a vowel and a consonant. Watch and practice with these transcription examples.

The same applies to phrases where one word ends with the letter ‘r’, and the next word begins with a vowel. In such cases, the sound 'r' is pronounced. Here are some examples.
