Is "s" in "fails" pronounced s or z?
I thought it is pronounced z because l is voiced but copilot says otherwise. Is this correct?
I'm having trouble with the “e” pronunciation variation
I can't understand the pattern of when a word starts with “e”, there is no clear rule! For example: Enjoy is pronounced like: in-joy, the “e” sounds like the “i” in ship. In “explain” the sound of the “e” is very strong, like the letter “x” In “emotion” is pronounced as “ee-mo-shən” like in sheep In "earth" sounds like "ərth" I don't understand shit

How to pronounce ''Thr'' quickly?
Saying Three and Through is easy, only problem though is when you have to say it quickly. For example: "Thirty three years old" Like it just doesn't seem possible to make your mouth touch your front teeth and switch to the r position so fast. So maybe there's a way around this? Maybe natives found some way to say it without having to do the full movement?

Why is this wrong? Isn’t “ do one’s job” a common idiom? Thanks.
