  • Hi, I'm Tim and this is my pronunciation workshop.

  • Here, I'm gonna show you how English is really spoken. It'll help you become a better listener

  • and a more fluent speaker. Come on, let's go inside.

  • Today, we're going to be talking about war. War... what is it good for? Well, as it turns out, it

  • The 'r' in the spelling is not pronounced in the word itself, or if the next word begins

  • with a consonant sound. But, have a listen to this. We went out and asked people in the

  • streets of London to name a famous Russian book. This is what they said:

  • I've never heard of the book War and Peace.

  • Well, almost everybody. But have another listen

  • to the way they say it.

  • The word after 'war' begins with a vowel sound. And in this case, the 'r' is pronounced.

  • War and Peace; War and Peace. This is called a 'linking r' and it helps to make the words

  • flow together more smoothly in natural speech. Here are some more examples:

  • How did you get on? Great. Remember, if you
