In my native language, Cantonese, connected speech is referred as ' lazy sppech' and it is frown upon. Now I live in the US, connected speech here doesn't sound as strong as inBrit English.
You speak about "british english" speakers using this technique to insert a letter between words to make it easier for the lazy to speak the language, but you would never hear a scot miss-pronounce english in this way. It leads to deplorable examples of unintelligible sentences such as "Mamar' nd Papar' re in the drawring room"! I've even heard an archaeologist on BBC refer to Pompeii as "ru(r)ins". Please warn your viewers that your version of english is not the practice of all native british. Kind Regards, Bill Curran, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Just really eye-catching when I see both British and American are critic each other accent 😅
HEY NICE BRO YOU ARE GREAT
CAN WE MEET
Greg, I'm not sure if you're going to read this. Anyway, having some time and willingness, why not a video about the intrusive & linking letters…? In Brazil, students usually have problems with the letters S, J, and GH; some letters we do not pronounce, and some that change according to God knows what … Would you help us in this aspect?
Thank you very much ! I appreciate . I could understand you very well and i try to improve my accent. I would like to go further but it is really difficult to change very quick the position of the mouth for the different sounds and to keep the rhytm of the sentence . I stutter a lot .
YEAH! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm German, and I really hate my German accent. I really do! When you said this sentence without the linking r, 5:22 , you sounded robotic and very much German, I'm afraid…… So now I know that by linking my words together, I can improve my English enormously! Thank you for that!!!
PLEASE don't teach this as proper English. If there's no "R" in the word, there's no reason to add it. It sounds awful. And no – it isn't easier to add an R.
I came across this strange phenomenon for the first time in a Beatles song "I sawRa film today, oh boy………"😅

Intrusive r ?! no way 😵
😃😃😃😃😃 really thankful n great for your explanation
You Brits cannot handle R
Muchas gracias from Brazil! 😊
No, don’t stop using the intrusive R, you guys sound hilarious when u do it.
This is lazy English english not British english. Scots don't throw the R away.
Thank you.
❤️
Excellent …..
amaizing and easy to understand ….
So very interesting your explanation
What about “Banna or Orange” do you pronounce it like “bannar ro rorange”??? i find it difficult to pronounce it
Wow thanks!! ❤❤❤that’s great
Thank you for useful information.. ❤
Great !!!!
I hear the intrusive Rs pronounced all of the time by people in the US at the ends of sentences and before any word, whether it starts with a vowel or not. Ex. I'm going to drawr two cards. Or Look at my mother-in-lawr. That's what doesn't make sense to me. I am glad to hear that there is a normal reason for the intrusive R. Is there a reason for the examples I gave above?
Your way to speak and to teach is very pleasant. Your explanations are easy and give confidence. It’s the first time I hear a native English speaker from England with such a clear and nice pronunciation. Usually People that I’ve met, had a kind of snobbish way to pronounce words. Yours is great👍🏻 I understand each word you’re saying and I appreciate it a lot! 😍🤗
always wanted to learn English, I had never tried to listen to English speaking on video, it was Chinese for me and very discouraging. I really wanted to thank you Greg!! THANKS
I do love your videos and tutorials because they help a great deal to students and teachers. Could you explain please, about allophones? That would help me .
Law r and order
omg! I didn't know imaginary R between vowel and vowel. I learned something new! thank you
