      How about the best engaging word I've ever seen. It's the "Hi" from you, Vanessa. I littrally open the video just to hear it from you, Ammmazing! Anyway, I'm having trouble pronouncing "freight forwarder" fast, tricky.

      @derby2510 4 года назад +30

      That's because you weren't pronouncing it incorrectly. You don't have to drop the R. It's more common to say it without the R, but to say that pronouncing it with the R is wrong is nonsense. It is the older, but still viable, pronunciation.
