I Think I Have An Accent Problem. by Sinistami(m): 10:42pm On Jul 16, 2018
I need help I think I have an accent problem especially with the R sound most words where I pronounce R it comes out as w Right turns to White . Recently I noticed that I replace them with each other R for w and vice versa. I knew my accent was Non Rhotic before but this this is ridiculous. And pls I dunno if this is the right section to post this but maybe you modes can help me move it.

I have been living with it and it gets worse every passing year right now I can't even Pronounce R consciously without it turning to W or Not just even appearing at all. like pronouncing the word try would come out as twy or tai. it makes me sound like a baby plus I stammer a little. Unconsciously I switch the two making Wow sound like Row.
