Question: Have you noticed that there is no "tr---" word read as "t..r"- they're all read as "ch"? I just noticed this yesterday- but can you believe it!? Every single  "tr---" word in the American (I'm not sure about the "english") languge is pronounced as "ch---" ; there is no word read as "t..r..."!

Answer: When read with proper enunciation, the "tr" sound should sound like "t-r." However, most of the time, we speak quickly and slur our sounds. This is why "tree" sounds like "chree" and "truck" sounds like "chruck."
