Pronunciation for listenersB1B2C1
Instructions. Silent /r/. In some British accents, 'r' is only pronounced if a vowel follows, so you won't hear /r/ in expressions like 'the cart' or 'report'.
Such words are especially difficult to catch if some other sound is missing. For example, in 'report' the /t/ after the silent 'r' may be missing too, so you might hear 'repo:'.
Listen to this TEDx talk by Maisie Williams and type expressions that contain a 'silent /r/'.
