How to pronounce "there"
Please someone tell me how can I pronounce "there" correctly. I mean, I heard that there might have some situations that we have to pronounce last /r/ sound while in other occasions it is silent, depending on the starting syllable of the next word. Despite the a number of google search, I couldn't find the answer for this. So, please let me know how can we pronounce that word correctly.

Firstly, it depends on the speaker's accent. In so-called "rhotic" accents (e.g. typical Scottish accent), the final "r" is pronounced. In non-rhotic accents (such as mine, from southern England), the final "r" is normally not pronounced, but it does appear when a word starting with a vowel follows, e.g. in "there are ...".
