How to Pronounce Words with TR and DR

[@oscarupegui740]

Best could not be better than best without you.

[@itsme-sh7dh]

how about tree vs three?

[@SpeechModification]

Yes, good suggestion, I cover your words here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZDSiaSshauqkKssi=YZsf81Hj3oWTRzTU&t=419

[@kathygilles8673]

I'm not sure of this. I think I hear you saying tree like t-r(uh) ee - t-ree. Is this the way to say it? Drift sounded like d-rift as d-r(uh)ift

[@SpeechModification]

Hi, I'm not sure what you are hearing, but we don't need the "uh" vowel in these words.

@@SpeechModification ok Thanks!

Great info! Why do you discourage using /ʧ/ for T+R?

[@SpeechModification]

I think if your /r/ is perfect, you can get away with /tʃ/+ r, but otherwise it can sound distorted. Also I think some native speaker use it but many don't. But if it works well for you, don't let me discourage you.
