We’re going to go over how to make the BR consonant cluster.
R sounds that are very difficult to make by many, so it follows that R-shaped clusters can also be difficult. Thanks for this suggestion.
This collection can add to the beginning of a word, such as ‘bring’, br, br, bring, or in the middle of a word like ‘algebra’. Alge-br, br, br-a. Algebra. Sounds can also come to the end of a word, but we do not consider them to be a masterpiece because of the schwa in the middle. The pronunciation, however, is the same, only without stress, like ‘number’, num-ber, ber, ber. Number.
br, bring
br, algebra,
br, number.
The lips come together for the B, the teeth part a little, bbb, and the throat makes a sound, bbb, waiting to be released with the lips, bbb. We want to release right into the next sound, in this case, the R. Don’t make a vowel sound in between. So it’s not bbbuh-rr, but br, from the B right into the R.
