I was in Canadian Tire today, and another customer and I were looking at wasp traps with lure in them and discussing how to use the product. Each of us said the word differently, despite us both being native Canuck English speakers. He said loor, and I said lewre. I wasn't sure which was correct! Felt a little funny!
@@brightphoebesays I've heard some Canadian say lever as leaver and I thought to myself that there was a great deal of mixup between American and British pronunciation in Canada
I just visited this lesson again. The caption was on. The caption displays "pure" when you say "pure" at 2:54 and the caption also displays "pure" when you say "peer" at 2:56
You say Pure in two different ways. However, the Pure at 2:54 and Pure at 2:56 sounded similarly to me....except that you kept "er" at the end of the Pure longer.
Hi - the word "pure" has the /j/ glide plus "er" and "peer" has the /ir/ diphthong. I'm saying them differently from each other, but it's hard for some people to hear the difference. A similar issue happens with words like "year" vs. "ear." You might find this helpful: ua-cam.com/video/XDZPb8VwXrY/v-deo.html
Thank you so much, Christin!))))
It's my pleasure!

Thanks for sharing!
@@SpeechModification Yes, Turns out I was using the British pronunciation. btw, the lure only worked for one wasp!

Thanks for the info. The captions are generated automatically, so they often have errors.
@@SpeechModification Being English, I have "lure" as /lʊə/ and "cure" as /kjʊə/
Good job ❤️🥰
Thanks

For me cure is still a difficult word to pronounce
Yes, for sure, it's tough.
