The Intrusive /r/ and Linking /r/ - British English Pronunciation & Connected Speech

Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.
In this British English pronunciation lesson, I teach you the rules of the intrusive /r/ and the linking /r/ in connected speech. It's a difficult one, but it will really help you with both your listening skills and speaking skills.

    I like how every time you give an example of linking-R, you say "for example", which contains linking-R.

    Thanks for the video Eliot! Question: some British people have a very particular 'r sound', with a lot of tongue against their teeth. Is this any specific kind of accent and when/how do they use it? Thanks!

    How to speak in cursive. I'm not a native English speaker. But i speak it almost perfect, I've lived for 6 years in the US and when watching Sherlock Holmes and lots of people on the internet I noticed that they add r in certain words. Most notably "drawring" and "sawr", it really jumped out to me, thanks for the great explanation.
