the pronunciation
hi,everybody,I was listening to BBC to improve my English,and I have a problem with this sentence :The Colombian government and the Farc rebel group have begun peace talks in the Norwegian capital Oslo to try to end half a century of conflict. the pronunciation of the Farc rebel sounds very strange to me.It just like there is no c for the far but plus a c to the rebel.like far...crebel.
Can you tell me how to say this sentence fluently and correctly.

Answer

I see no problem wıth that pronunciaton.  The speaker pronounced ''Farc rebel'' as a single thing.  Remember that the British R at the end of a syllable is very soft.
