I heard a song on the drive that started with a rooster crowing, it was interesting. From Jason Mraz, it's called “Back To The Earth.” I am thinking about setting this song as my alarm clock. 😂 Hi Joy. You wrote and spoke very well. Just a few things to take note: Started : It's a two syllable word. Try to pronounce the 2nd syllable more clearly : "start...ed." Rooster : Is also a two syllable word. Try to pronounce the 2nd syllable : "roo...ster." Mraz : The singer's last name is also usually pronounced with two syllables like : "Mur...raz."
