Thanks, Nicole! Actually, I didn't know the rule either until I started researching why we pronounce these words the way we do. As a native speaker, you don't think about these things until you're forced to figure it out because your students want to know the "why" behind what we do. I'm learning a lot myself by making these videos!
Please continue this series 🌐 **Request for Pronunciation Help! 📢** Hello! How are you doing? 🌟 I've been on the hunt for a detailed RUclips playlist on the correct pronunciation of English suffixes and prefixes. 🗣️🇺🇸 Unfortunately, this type of content is rare, and my searches haven't yielded much. 🙏 So, I'm reaching out to any awesome American teachers or language enthusiasts out there! Could we get a complete playlist with clear examples and explanations? It would be a game-changer for many of us trying to level up our language skills. Let's make learning more accessible! 📚✨ Please share if you have insights or if you'd love to see this content too.
Thanks for your comment! Yes, I definitely plan on tackling this subject, but I have several requests ahead of this one, and my work has taken a huge chunk of my time recently. If you need help right away, please consider private training with me! 🙂
Hi Daniel--It's just a slight variation. The last vowel is said so fast that sometimes it can sound like /i/, especially after an /r/. The /r/ is pronounced with the tongue very tense and high in the mouth, and /i/ has more tension than /u/, so if the tongue is not relaxed enough you will hear more of an /i/ sound.

@@pronunciationsnippets How can I communicate with you?
My email address is lorifriend@communiclinic.com. Thanks!
Some native speakers pronounce "ee-us" as "ee-is " . Why is this?
