The intrusive R pronunciation happens between two words, where the first word ends in a vowel sound and the second word begins in a vowel sound. Usually, there is what’s called a schwa sound that ends the first word. The r comes between the two words because, in some cases, it’s easier for people to say it that way.
English has eleven different vowels. It’s important to know the correct mouth position so you can get the vowel right: study this vowel with illustrations and up close, slow motion speech. Sample words: Allow, extra, data, again, visa, about.
