Whys & Wherefores
After a vowel, don\'t pronounce the R, but draw out the vowel and maybe add an \"uh\" (Here is \"heeuh\"). In words like \"hurry\", don\'t blend the R with the vowel. Say huh-ree\". In American English, words ending with \"rl\" or \"rel\" can be pronounced using either one or two syllables, completely interchangeably. This is not the case in British English. -rl\" words like \"girl\", \"hurl\", etc, are pronounced

For example, a Scottish accent differs greatly from an English accent.

For example, mirror, which sounds like "mih-ra". Do not say "mirror" like "mere"; British people almost never do that. Some awkward pauses in sentences are also removed by the addition of 'r' before a vowel. For example, "I saw it" becomes "I saw-rit", to avoid the pause between the words 'saw' and 'it'. Another example is "Bacteria are small", pronounced "Bacteria-rar-small".
