Am/Can English: Is the "r" before vowels the same as the "r" after vowels?
Growing up, I didn't have to pronounce the "r" after vowels. Now, I live in the US and I am having a hard time pronouncing the "r" after vowels, such as "earn" I have no problem pronouncing the "r" before vowels, such as "real". I looked up in Marriam Webster and noticed the phonetic symbols for r in "real" and "earn" are the same. So, I just roll my tongue a little bit? That's it?
Do native speakers hear the difference between -ing and -in'?

Does these sound natural? How would you put it? Thanks.
1 “When it comes to making friends, I just let nature take its course. I don’t like forcing it.” 2.”For making friends, I just let nature take its course. I don’t like forcing it.” 3. “I don’t like pushing it when I make friends. I just let things happen naturally.”

saying it's ok instead of i'm good
Can I say "it's ok" to say no when someone offers me something instead of "i'm good" (Chatgpt) Yes, but **"It's okay"** can sometimes sound like you're rejecting the offer rather than accepting it. Here’s how they differ: * **"I'm good."** – A casual and polite way to decline an offer. * **"It's okay."** – Might sound like you're refusing, but it depends on tone and context. If you want to accept the offer, say: ✔️ "Yes, it's okay." (if confirming it's acceptable) ✔️ "Yes, please." (a clearer way to accept) If you want to decline politely: ✔️ "No, thanks. I'm good." ✔️ "No, but thanks for offering!" Would you like some more examples based on specific situations? 😊

Shouldn't this be 'thought'?
