      How about the best engaging word I've ever seen. It's the "Hi" from you, Vanessa. I littrally open the video just to hear it from you, Ammmazing! Anyway, I'm having trouble pronouncing "freight forwarder" fast, tricky.

    • @derby2510
      @derby2510 4 роки тому +30

      That's because you weren't pronouncing it incorrectly. You don't have to drop the R. It's more common to say it without the R, but to say that pronouncing it with the R is wrong is nonsense. It is the older, but still viable, pronunciation.

      Both are fine. You'll find that it changes with the location of the speaker. 'Bur-ri' and 'be-ri' are the two ways that you can say this. 'Be-ri' is the most common way, especially when adding an -ed to the end. Most English-speakers should understand you regardless.

    For the Receipt, I used to pronounce it as "ri-seet" instead of "ra-seet". And I think both are acceptable since in UK they pronounce it as "ri-seet" similar with Often.
