発音のコツ
- R母音です。母音からRへとつながる発音です。
- Rの際に、顎を閉じ気味して、舌を巻き、腹筋から強く息を吐きます。
| 発音記号 | 発音方法（母音） | 発音方法（R） |
| /ɑr/ | 顎を縦に大きく開いて「ア」 | 顎を閉じ気味にして、舌先を巻き上げ、腹筋から強く息を吐きます。
|
| /ɔr/ | 顎をやや開いて「オ」 | |
| /ɛr/ | 顎を縦に大きく開きスマイルの口で「エ」 | |
| /ir/ | 顎を閉じ気味にして「イ」 | |
| /ʊr/ | 顎をやや開いて「ウ」 |
/ɜr/もR母音の一種です。こちらは最初の母音がなく、最初からRの音になります。
