Episode 4 | The "Colonel" Conspiracy
English is broken. How do you get an "R" sound out of a word spelled with two "Ls" and no "Rs"? You don’t—unless you’re a native speaker. In Episode 4, Carlos and Britany tackle Colonel, the ultimate trap for English learners. If you’ve been saying "Co-lo-nel," this 5-minute episode will save you from a lifetime of corrected pronunciations.
The Flex:
[KUR-nul]
What you’ll learn in 5 minutes:
The "R" Illusion: Why we say an "R" sound that isn't on the page.
The Kernel Link: Why this high-ranking military title sounds exactly like a piece of corn.
Vowel Squashing: How to handle the "el" ending so it doesn't sound like "hell."
Stop trying to make sense of the spelling. Start mastering the sound. If you can say "Colonel" correctly, you’ve officially leveled up your accent game.
Don’t just speak English. Flex it.
