your "er"= sounds more like "yr" to me. =A0Maybe I'm just not understan= ding how you're pronouncing it. =A0Can you put up some audio of you pro= nouncing lojban "er", "eir", "ar", and "= yr"?

The on= ly issue is that it's not how lojban is pronounced.

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with yo= u. Lojban is very permissive with pronunciation. The only person who's = ever even suggested that you can't use the sound in "better= " for .ebu that I am aware of is you.
=A0
I imagine that some of our ponjbope'o had some t= rouble learning how/when/where to use "l" vs "r" but at= the end of they day they will/should because that's how lojban is pron= ounced. =A0If you can't pronounce "er" as "e" follo= wed by "r" then practice.
=A0
And no, its not just &qu= ot;some people" who have a problem pronouncing "er"
and "eir" diff= erently, its everyone from what I can see. I've yet to
see how anyone "cou= ld" pronounce them differently. If anyone would
