Here's a quick tip that can help saying some of these words a little easier:

 

  1. find the r in the word. E.g LITERALLY
  2. look for the consonant that precedes it - in ‘literally’ it’s the T
  3. eliminate the vowel that sits in between - in this example it’s the E
  4. form a consonant cluster with that consonant. - TR
  5. You’ve now got a shorter, easier to pronounce word: lit-TR-lee.
