[00:00:06]Why are these two words so hard to pronounce? And why can most people not pronounce this word?

[00:00:16]World and word.

[00:00:20]The reason that most people can't pronounce this word, world, is because you don't know something called intrusion.

[00:00:31]Intrusion is when we add sounds that are not in the word.

[00:00:39]So, when we say this, we say world.

[00:00:44]World.

[00:00:46]Whenever we have an R and an L together, we always add an uh sound in the middle to make it much easier.

[00:00:58]We've got some more examples here that are usually difficult.

[00:01:11]Make it much easier for yourself. Add an uh sound using intrusion.
