Hi everyone,i live in Australia but English is not my first language.Hope any aussie friend could help me with this.
I was watching an actress interviewed by some guy.

"Why did you chose to leave that role?You were so successful in playing that in the past."The interviewer asked.

"I don't know.I just feel like a bit of a sharleton(?)."The actress said.

I am really confused.I've look it up in the dictionary,but apparently there's no such word called "sharleton".I know I probably spell it wrong.But how does this word really spell and what exactly does it
mean??

when i check the pronunciation of words in dictionaries , the letter "S" behaves so strangely that it is often pronounced as "Z".
for example, it is pronounced as "Z" in the words "because" and "please" , "cause", "is", "was", etc
for "course", "class", it is "S".

are there any general rules on determining in what cases it is going to be "Z" ?

if possible, please give me some rules on when to pronounce it as "Z" when the letter is used to represent plural.

English is my second language,

according to some dictionaries like the Cambridge and the Collins,
i have learnt that the r sound is pronounced only before a vowel.
here i have an example but i do not know whether it is pronounced, please help by answering how the letter "R"s being quoted is pronounced in British and American English respectively.

1.A. The bus station is five hundred met"r"es away.
B. The bus station is only one met"r"e away.

also, i am confused on how to pronounce the letter "s" in English.
In what case is it pronounced as "z" and when is it pronounced as "s" respectively in British and American English?

as a non- native speaker, i cannot distinguish the difference between the voice between the "th" in the word thirsty and the word "f" in the word five and between the "th" in the word "the" and "d" in the word dog. (except i know the positions of the tongue are varied)
as native speakers, are you always able to feel the difference just by hearing?

how to pronounce the word "tests"?

my problem is how to deal with the consonants "s", "t", "s" at the end.

would the answer be s, and then t, and then s separately,
s, short stop, and then s, but without the t pronounced,
or is it s, and then have the t and s joined together into one ?
