I've been waiting for such an explanation of intrusive /r/ for ages! Thanks for delivering this! Now I understand why one hears Law(r)and order and the like!
Thank you Elliot for sending me all these videos. You are very special guy and glad that you were still alive in because you are still alive. You are a precious gem
This video is def a gem. The words end with a vowel and the next word begins with a vowel then we need to link them with R sound which is not appeared in writing and
Thank you for your free lessons in these videos. I work for a British company, I think it's the most famous one, BT, and with your lessons, i'm able to sound a little more British with than. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. As an American, I was confused about the intrusive "r". I learned about it recently and wanted to share the info with friends without sending them a wikipedia article 😁. Your video did the trick!
Oh my, thank you!!!! I've been asking Brits about this for aaaaageeees and nobody can ever explain, let alone even understand what I'm referring to! So many law(r) and draw(r) and others that have confused me throughout the years... No more!
I'm Italian, I've learnt English almost completely by myself, and I've always heard this phantom 'r' whenever British people spoke and I just couldn't understand where it came from! I should have looked for this video sooner since it's almost three years old😂
I was reading my prof's notes, my notes from lessons and I just couldn't understand the difference btw linking and intrusive , yet it's so obvious! thank you for making it so simple!
You are a very good nice teacher, I hope one day I've become fluent in speaking English, confident and of course in a British accent. For now, I study English and a british accent for almost 8 hours a day I'm hoping this will work.
How to speak in cursive. I'm not a native English speaker. But i speak it almost perfect, I've lived for 6 years in the US and when watching Sherlock Holmes and lots of people on the internet I noticed that they add r in certain words. Most notably "drawring" and "sawr", it really jumped out to me, thanks for the great explanation.
This is what I've had in my head to know about and now I happened to come across the video and literally it seems to me quite difficult but your video helped me out a lot to understand it and now I'm gonna be practising it while reading. Thank you Elliot.
Thank you Elliott for your lessons. I'm Italian and I love English, so thanks to you I can learn better the pronunciation of this fantastic language 🙏🏻
When I'm watching things like your lesson, I always think to myself 'what a wonderful invention the Internet is'... Thank you for your film, it's very useful, I'm almost on cloude nine listening to such a beautiful British English.
Hi Elliot, many thanks for this video and especially for your comment about the pronunciation police! I sometimes get negative comments about my pronunciation as if it is what matters but they’re just splitting hairs sometimes. I strongly agree with you. Thanks again!
I've been thinking about it, and then it hit my mind like a rock: If you know a little bit of American accent, you can learn the linking R easier. It makes sense. But please correct me if I'm wrong
Hello Teacher Elliot. It is a great video. Thank you once more. I am from Latin America. But I have learnt British English. Well, I have been learning for the past 25 years. Now I have got this mixture of American and British accent. Honestly, I prefer British. I find your videos very instructive and entertaining as well. A very good Teacher endeed.
I always come to this whenever I feel forgetting how to use this thing coz I'm not really confident when it comes to speaking. Thank you so much ETJ English.
@@willishala9968 Lol this is a 3 years old comment. I already gave up in March 15, 2019 because of a damn teacher that didn't like British accent. Now I use American accent.
Thank you so much for the video! I need to learn it as an English major student (and as a non-native English speaker) I didn't understand it but now you explained and I don't understand why I did not understand it at university. 😂
Hi Elliott, thanks for your video, you're such an inspiring person :) I'm also an English teacher but it's always a pleasure for me to listen to you and find out many interesting things that you're talking about. Can't wait for next video! Kisses from Poland
Thanks a lot for this video. I remember when I was working in a hotel, I used to ask some British guests about how they pronounce the phrase "I saw it" and it was hilarious the way they realise they actually inserted and R sound between "saw" and "it". Currently, when I want to say this phrase I tend to say "I saw (r) it" /ɑɪ sɔːr ɪt/
Cheers for this vdo, I'm Thai learning. Your vdo is very useful to practice to speak and listen, and next vdo, I want you to make one another connected speeches again. 👌👌✌✌
You should upload more videos, it's so easy to understand pronunciation and learn with you :D Love your lessons, looking forward to new ones, keep going :D
Thank you for doing these videos, I think it's rather useful for us, some English learners to understand and improve our spoken English. Thanks a lot.🇨🇳Last but not least,best wishes to you.❤
Great video! I've learned already about intrusive and linking r, but it wasn't boring for me! I just love the way you explain english grammar! plus it's always a plesure to hear such a sweet british accent!
This was really good. It was particularly informative. I've always wondered why most English people I know say Draw'r'ing or add an r sound at the end of the word idea. Thanks for posting this video. Cheers! :)
I thought I was getting crazy! I'm not a native English speaker but I've been noticing this intrusive R more and more, it feels great to put a name to it ! Thank you for this video!
This is the video that has helped the most. Didn't know that!! So, "intrusive /r/" comes when there are two vowels sounds: at the end of one word and at the beginning of another, right? And "linking /r/" is when we have the schwa sound at the end of a word and the next sound is a vowel, isn't it? Greetings from Mexico. You're the best!
I know, I know, I was wondering about that one! First time I heard the intrusive 'r' was when Sting at his concert in Berlin was introducing one of his songs: "The next song [r] is about..." That sounded super-strange to me but now I get what it was! Yay! Thanks!
That’s not actually the correct situation to do the intrusive /r/. In this situation, most native speakers would connect the final consonant from ‘song’ to ‘is’ . There is no reason to use the /r/ here. I just thought I’d tell you, so you don’t get it wrong in the future
Right? It doesn't even sound natural between 'ŋ' and 'is', and I wasn't going to use it there, but thanks for pointing that out! I guess Sting being Sting... he can put an 'r' wherever the heck he likes and be cool about it) I'm also not a native speaker and surrounded by Americans anyway so my using of intrusive 'r' may let them think that I'm showing off. But perhaps every language has something that only native speakers can take advantage of)))
I like how every time you give an example of linking-R, you say "for example", which contains linking-R.
I've been waiting for such an explanation of intrusive /r/ for ages! Thanks for delivering this! Now I understand why one hears Law(r)and order and the like!
He did well.
Thank you Elliot for sending me all these videos. You are very special guy and glad that you were still alive in because you are still alive. You are a precious gem
Bro. I am from Kerala. Your classes are really helpful for all non native speakers. God bless you bro
5:42 Just leaving this here so I know where to come back to (Intrusive /r/ bit). Cheers for a brilliant and easy to understand video!
This video is def a gem. The words end with a vowel and the next word begins with a vowel then we need to link them with R sound which is not appeared in writing and
For the past months,I have been looking for a means to actually learn to speak this accent and I just hit end point
Thanks so much❤
Thank you for your free lessons in these videos. I work for a British company, I think it's the most famous one, BT, and with your lessons, i'm able to sound a little more British with than.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
I've just started studying phonology and needed to understand more about the intrusive r.
Thank you. You have been helpful 👍🏻

Thanks Elliott you have a very clear british pronunciation. I am a South American used to the american accent. I love to listen to you❤
I'm in love with the British language!!. I'm Native Spanish. I'm from Nicaragua.
The "British language" ? It's called English.
I'm Italian, I've learnt English almost completely by myself, and I've always heard this phantom 'r' whenever British people spoke and I just couldn't understand where it came from! I should have looked for this video sooner since it's almost three years old😂

Thanks for the video!
I also heard something like ' I saw him' pronounced as ' I saw(r)'em'.
you are the best pronunciation teacher. I have seen a lot like you, but you are very good.

/r/ at the end is not pronounced but when is not present it is included, amazing language..RESPECT TEACHER
This is what I've had in my head to know about and now I happened to come across the video and literally it seems to me quite difficult but your video helped me out a lot to understand it and now I'm gonna be practising it while reading.

It makes sense.
But please correct me if I'm wrong

you're back!! it's so nice to watch your videos again... please don't take too long to post the next one :) nice mustache btw!!
The intrusive r is present in some New England accents in America too
Yeah, an it is just as obnoxious coming from someone from Boston as from England.
Tnank you ETJ.... Im from BRAZIL and your UA-cam channel help me too much.
Fllower from Egypt. Tank you for your great efforts
