In the usual classroom setting, we first learn how to read words instead of speaking them. This is the reason why many non-native English speakers have troubles with some certain words. It\u2019s very important to learn through our ears, learn the sounds and not by the way we read it.
\nIn this video, Gabby will share us how to pronounce words with \u201c-rth\u201d like worth, north, birth.

\nThere are many words with \u201c-rth,\u201d but most importantly, even though there are many vowels that comes before this three letter combination, we always use one vowel sound regardless of the spelling. Sounds great right?
\n\xa0
\nThe mistake or problem of a lot of English learners have is that, they want to read the vowel in the way that they have learned it in the\xa0alphabet with the \u201c-rth\u201d sound. But there is a vowel sound that we called the R-colored vowel which Gabby will explain as we further watch the video ahead.
