" r + vowel = ur + vowel. First say u.

If you are hearing anything else, you could post a Youtube video or an audio clip. Anyway, I noticed that you mentioned the word "can" in the title. In that case, before /n/, /m/, /ŋ/, it's often not /æ/ in American English, but a diphthong similar to /eə/ or /ɛə/. Alright, I tried to look for something relevant on youtube, I found this, and I'm gonna comment on it. 0:05 - I'm a representative Here you can hear two normal /ɛ/, as in "bed" 0:06 - I have cancer In "cancer" /æ/ is before /n/, and this guy pronounces it less strong, almost a /ɛ/ 0:07 - More dangerous than the plant itself In "plant" /æ/ is before /n/, and this girl...http://www.englishforums.com/English/ElvisPresleyGhettoWithoutTapped-Ts/kcwrw/post.htmTue, 04 Aug 2009 18:36:07 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:847356moscaDid Elvis have a typical southern accent?

We all know that there are many different accents in the UK. I can recognise some local accents, such as Liverpool and Yorkshire. I understand that accents vary from geographical areas to generations. People can tell that someone is well-educated by the way one speaks (terminology). Yet, much more than that, it seems to me that most British can instantly tell someone's social background when they hear s/he speaks. Why is that? One time I met two people who have different accents, but my friend said they both went to public schools (well I'm aware that going to public schools doesn't necessary mean one is from upper class...http://www.englishforums.com/English/GeorgeClooneyOnBbc/wvddm/post.htmThu, 19 Mar 2009 23:41:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:688750saltukhanI wanna share another celebrity video with you.

What are some distinguishing features of this accent in terms of pronunciation, rhythm, inflection, choice of words and whatever else you think is important. This is another video. I've asked two teachers about it and they both agree that it would be quite a good accent for an ESL student to mimic but they are kind of stuck when it comes to identifying the accent, although they both think it is a "very polished upper class London accent.

Even in the trailer, Cruise's ... he's surrounded by great English Actors so let's give him a pass. No. I don't see it doing well. NMS Last I heard it's been delayed - again. Apparently, among other things, Cruise's accent is emabarassingly on-again off-again, so I suppose they're doing a lot of ADR with a dialogue coach riding shotgun, which only rarely results in a wonderfully nuanced performance.

The surprising thing I think, for those of you who are not native speakers of English, is that these men can be understood. Yeah, English is not my native language, so I can't know whether a certain accent is difficult or not to understand for a native speaker. So concentrate on fluency, and don't beat yourselves up if you don't have a perfect accent! Well, then I have to ask you... What do you mean by "fluency"? Using good and understandable grammar structures, and common mainstream vocabulary? I think that would be the most important thing...http://www.englishforums.com/English/BerlusconisEnglish/gcvrb/post.htmSat, 10 May 2008 14:58:12 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:512109kooyeenI'm bored!
