Hello, my name is Dionne. Welcome to my Buy Me a Coffee Pronunciation studio. This audio is brought to you by TEFL Training and Recruitment. For more information please visit www.dionneseslcyberlounge.com In this pronunciation audio, we are going to practice the t + r consonant cluster as in "try" and the d+ r consonant cluster as in dry. The t + r consonant cluster and the d + r consonant cluster can be a challenge for non-native English speakers because they sound different than we spell them. Think of the t + r consonant cluster as "chr" when saying these words. Please repeat after me. try, trial, trip, train, truck, trick, treat, intro, entry, attractive Think of the d + r consonant cluster as "Jr". Please repeat after me. drive, dry, draw, drag, drop, drink, children, laundry, hydro, hundred Let's practice these two sounds together. try dry trunk drunk true drew trip drip train drain tread dread The following phrases and sentences will become longer and harder. Please repeat after me. That's so true. We live in different countries. Everything's under control. The waitress wants entry to watch the trailer before she travels. Don't drink and drive. The children want an android. There's a dragon on the drum. Andrew said Jane's dress is in the drawer. It's a dream come true. He can play the trombone and the drums. Do you want to try this drink? I had the strangest dream. I tried to draw the tree while driving beside the truck. Great! Don't forget to practice these sounds again and again.
