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?
