When I was younger, my grandfather always brought me a box of strawberry during winter vacation. My grandmother made taro leaves that I love and gave me them often.
1. When I pronounce breathe, should I pronounce the as v?
2. When I pronounce earth, should I pronounce ear as ur?
3. When I pronounce bather, should I pronounce ther as der?
4. always = alway
-> Right?

breathe = [ breeth ] (hard th like in they, them)
2. When I pronounce earth, should I pronounce ear as ur?
earth - [ urth ] ( ear like in fur )

bather - [ bey-ther ] ( ther like in brother, hard th)
4. always = alway
always - [ awl-weyz, -weez ] (there is no such word as alway)
