and I think it sounds just fine to say 'han-wash'.

It looks like it should be i-ron, but it's not.

看起來應該是i-ron，但不是。

Actually, the R comes after the vowel in the second syllable.

其實，R是在第二個音節的元音之後。

Since the vowel there is the schwa, you don't even need to try to make a vowel sound there.

因為那裡的元音是分音符，所以你甚至不需要嘗試在那裡發元音。

When R comes after schwa, it absorbs it.

當R出現在schwa後面時，它就會吸收它。

Errrr, just one sound, rrrrrr.

呃，就一個聲音，rrrrrrrr。

I—rr—nn. Iron.

I-rr-nn。鐵。

It might help you connect these two syllables if you think of a Y sound being in between them.

如果你能想到這兩個音節之間有一個Y音，也許能幫助你把這兩個音節聯繫起來。

I—yyyrrrn.

我...

Iron.

鐵。

Iron.
