Если Вы добросовестно занимались прошлые Модули, то освоить эти звукосочетания не составит труда. Но стоит повторить звуки [a:] и [ɔ:].
[a:r] – сочетание [a:] и [r]. Длинный, глубокий звук.
[ɔ:r] – сочетание [ɔ:] и [r]. Длинный, глубокий звук.
[ə:] – гортанное, глубокое произношение буквы ё в словах типа Гёте, мёд.
[ə:r] – объединение [ə:] и [r] в один, единый, длинный, глубокий звук. Выделю эту мысль еще раз: [ə:r] – это именно объединение звуков [ə:] и [r].
Не переживайте, если сразу не получится воспроизвести [ə:r]. Если сложно, попробуйте тянуть одну букву r, чтобы поймать это ощущение.
Для британского английского характерна смазанная, еле заметная буква r в звуках, указанных выше.
Если не вдаваться во все особенности акцентов на территории Великобритании и максимально упростить, то звук [r] в британской версии английского отсутствует в вышеописанных звуках, и Вам достаточно произносить длинные гласные [a:], [ɔ:], [ə:].
На этом моменте желательно определиться с диалектом, если Вы не сделали этого раньше.
Эта книга универсальна и подойдет для всех. Однако, про отличия диалектов еще будет сказано. Но они не будут столь заметными.
