Summary

This topic focuses on the sounds /l/ and /r/ -- two sounds that are easy to mix up but change meaning entirely -- alongside vocabulary and expressions connected to festivals and celebrations. As with all pronunciation work, real practice happens by speaking aloud with a teacher, recording, or reading partner.
