You must speak a language in which the R is pronounced as an alveolar tap. In English, it doesn't sound like "waruyu doo" to us, but instead like "waduyu doo". In North America and Australia and possibly other places, it is common to pronounce intervocalic T's and D's, that is, T's and D's between two vowels, as an alveolar tap. It sounds extremely similar or even identical to the R in Spanish "caro".
In many accents of British English, intervocalic T's are often pronounced as a glottal stop instead. Thus, for the word "water", you have American "wadder" (or "warer" as it would sound to you) and British "wor'uh". |
