## Sounds to watch

### The r sound

Pull the tongue back and up without touching the roof of the mouth. American r is never rolled or tapped.

### Weak syllables

The unstressed syllables use a short, relaxed uh (schwa). Rushing through them lightly is correct; giving them a full vowel sounds unnatural.

### The ch and j sounds

Ch and j start with a full stop of the air (t or d) and release into sh or zh. Without the stop they collapse into sh and zh, and "cheap" becomes "sheep".
