Prevocalic and Vocalic R
There are two basic types of R sounds: Prevocalic R and Vocalic R
A Prevocalic R is when the R comes before a vowel in a syllable (ring, round, rain, parrot, cherry, etc.). This R sound is typically easier to say compared to the vocalic R.
A Vocalic R is when the R comes after a vowel (water, star, ear, storm, etc.). These R sounds are typically harder to say compared to the prevocalic R because each vowel changes how you say the R.
