  1. It sounds like the R is pronounced at the beginning of the following word rather than the end of the first word.

    Before or after = befo’ ro’ rafte’

    Beforrre ore afterrr = American English

  2. Note for assignment m(_ _)m
    ⚫︎linking r : r which are at the last of a word and not pronounced in the word itself are pronounced when a word starting from a vowel comes after them
