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?

Is this news script grammatically correct?

Is this news script grammatically correct?

It’s today’s first page of the Washington Post, but I can’t see the verb in that sentence. Shoudn’t the “claiming” has to be “claimed”?

Why is a comma used here instead of “and”?

Why is a comma used here instead of “and”?

This headline sounds a little off to me. Wouldn’t it sound better if it were “Trump won’t impose tariffs on Canada and other countries right away”? Why was the comma chosen here?

What person do you just love listening to because of their advanced english?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this community. Despite being a native English speaker, I live in a nation where almost no one speaks the language well. I came to the realisation that this usually affects me; hearing English that has been simplified all the time has caused my English to deteriorate. The fact that everyone is only using simple everyday language makes watching YouTube videos useless as well. I've tried reading more difficult books and taking courses to improve my skills, but I've found that listening to something repeatedly in podcasts or videos helps me learn it much more easily. I would like to know which YouTube channels, well-known individuals, or podcasts you enjoy listening to due to their use of advance English. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, M. R.

Is "write me" incorrect?

A lot of learners use the verb to write to mean to text or to message... i used to say it but the native speakers never corrected me and then i realised that the native speakers dont really say that
