This'rule' only applies to some speakers of English, e.g. in south-east England, South Africa, Australia. But many native speakers always pronounce lrl, e.g. in south- west England, Scotland, America. So you may choose to omit this exercise if you are learning a variety of English where /r/ is always pronounced. 868 a Listen and repeat.
