1045 - OUR Sounds Like ARE - Speak Naturally in a Minute

Description: Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation
Today, let’s talk about another small word that changes in natural American English:  our.
In everyday conversational English, this word is pronounced like: "are"

Our house is on the corner. Our house
Our dog is noisy. Our dog
Our friends are coming over.
Our teacher is late.
This happens because words like our, an, and the are usually unstressed in American English

Let's practice. Repeat after me. 
Our house is brown
Our dog is noisy.
Our car is in the driveway
