"Ok I want to talk a little bit more about Rs and here's a different rule. When you have an R between two vowels you hit it very hard like very. No, I'm talking very hard. Alright. Sorry. I'm sorry. You hit the R hard. Now, something else about Rs, when an R is followed by a word that starts with a vowel you combine the two words. I'm sore at you. We would say I'm sore at you. They would say I'm sore at you. So instead of it being sore at it becomes soreat. I'm soreat you. Sore at you. Alright it becomes one word. Prepare it. We would say would you prepare that, I mean prepare it, they would say prepareit. They put it all into one word. Let's try some examples."
