Roger the Rabbit Practices RRRRRR.

Wadjasay? American English Pronunciation Practice

'R' is everywhere. And, unfortunately, the 'R' sound in American English is different from the equivalent sound in French, Spanish, German and for all I know, every other language.
So here is a quick conversation to help you practice this tricky sound. Listen a few times first and then repeat as directed.
Hi John. Is something the matter?
There sure is. A ferret tried to get my rabbit.

I didn't know you had a rabbit.
He was a present from my mother. His name is Roger.

Well I hope Roger's had his rabies shot. [I hope Roger has had]
[Of] course! We treat him like a prince.
How did Roger escape the ferret?
I ran out of the house in the nick of time and the ferret ran away.
Roger lucked out!
You got that right. A few more seconds and he woulda been deader 'n a doornail. [he would have been deader than a doornail.]

"In the nick of time" means "just in time."
