How to pronounce R & Ř in Czech 🇨🇿 

Amazing! Dekuju za komentář

Hi Petr! Thanks a lot for this comment. Ř/R is such a struggle and is very individual how the body takes it in. :)

It was enough for me to hear from my parents (at the age of three) that we would have to go to see a speech therapist, I would finally say "traktor" instead of "tlaktol"

Same

@@vitozana8659 😂😂😭😭

Nice! Do you have a feeling like your pronunciation got better after this video?

I love Scotland! It’s a great place! I spent 2 years in Glasgow. Yes! Your R is really helpful, your Ř must be great. :) Long vowels are not the core i agree, I just don’t agree it’s unnecessary ;) in some cases it changes the meaning completely... plus it makes the language sound prettier. :) What topics are now difficult for you? Any favorites?

Interestingly, Indigenous Australian languages include rolled R’s, so if Australians learn to pronounce our place names and traditional owners correctly then we’re primed for Czech also!

@@CzechWithKaterina I'm so sorry, Glasgow is such a dump and they talk really funny. The East of Scotland is much better, the weather is better, people are a normal height.

@@DavidFraser007 What a patriot you are. A whole city is a dump! You are my new favourite hobby.

Glad you liked it. Your online presence is interesting.

Hi Kib! I think this is one of the top comments I've got on my channel! :))) From what you are writing, there is a bigger issue. Since you are a native German speaker it's of course a bit bigger challenge for you to start saying R well as the German R is created in a completely different way in a completely different part of the mouth. Have you tried consistent practice, like every day for let's say 5min? And even faster and more efficient way would be to visit a logoped once. They can really well distinguish what's the issue in your speech and direct you to a better practice. Let me know, how it went.

Haha happy to hear!

Happy to be helpful! Let me know with any questions if they come up along the way. :)

Hey Emma! Really happy to hear! What's your Czech level? Have you tried some more of my videos? I would be grateful for more of your feedback there too!

No problem! Happy you enjoy

Ahoj! Děkuju moc!!!

Every Monday at 19.00! :D One more coming up tonight! In fact tonight will be a test of the first 9 lessons. Let me know how it goes if you watch it :)

Není zač, Layth!

Happy to hear!!! 🤩

Děkuju za kompliment! :)

Já taky

Děkuji. :)

Gracias a ti. Como es tu Ř ahora? :)

@@CzechWithKaterina Hola Katy:) Felicitaciones por tu maravilloso programa en RU-vid! Estoy practicando cada día la Ř. Creo que ahora es mucho mejor:)

@@tutor8350 buen trabajo! :) x

@@CzechWithKaterina Será genial! El intercambio Español Checo contigo! 🇪🇸🇨🇿🇪🇺🌎🤓

With pleasure ;)

🥳 congratulations on your Ř! And Great feedback! Thank you!!!

Není zač, Andrés! :) With a ton of practice you will be a pro! :)

@@CzechWithKaterina Well, now on, will follow every one video of you

Gracias!

Great, that's already a second person with Scottish R that says that. I lived there 2 years and it make total sense! You are right, it is completely the same as the Czech R! :)

Many varieties of Gaelic in particular have some form of the ř.

Ahoj Camerone! Dobrá otázka! I will try to answer with as many resources and I ideas as there are just like that on my mind. :) 1) Try to listen with a text. Find books with audio that you like, find videos with subtitles. 2) Listen to videos you already know in your language second time in Czech (best again with the subtitles). I pretty much learnt English just by watching Friends first in Czech and then in English. I love this show! And I recommend it 100% as the language there is very much oriented on authentic daily situations that you will come across very often. 3) Set up (maybe an online skype call) meeting with a native just for a chat about some specific topics that you prepare your vocabulary for. And find a person that doesn't mind repeating and letting you to jot down the vocabs that are hard for you to understand. Believe me, the vocabulary will repeat all the time. 4) Start singing Czech songs. Try to read and translate Czech music. Best are the interprets that have for instance just a guitar i nthe background so you can hear better. First you will need to read the lyrics just on it's own. But when you listen again to the song, it will pay off. In the songs the language is sometimes very authentic and it will help the daily comprehension. To recommend some names of the interprets and even songs: Pokáč (Mám doma kočku), Chinaski (Víno), Jaromír Nohavica (album - Tři čuníci), Karel Kryl 5) Listening practice with written down exercises - they are a lot of work but they work like magic. They are often ver authentic and their advantage is that you can always pick your level so they are not too easy or too hard. These are just on the top of my head. Anybody have more ideas? Maybe some personal experience?

Thats also an achievement, Posh! Maybe it tells you to always chill while speaking Czech 😂

Hey! The sound R in the Ř doesnt preseed the Š or Ž sound. R+Ž/Š is kind of merged together and creates a completely new sound: Ř. With a bit of practice with this video (there are more around YT as well), it’s possible to master.

Děkuju, Luboši. :)

Děkuju

To mám velkou radost!!!! :) xxx

Ahoj Vanny, já jsem taky Češka a moc dík.

Great to hear Virdra! :) I am sure you will master it soon!

Sure, Shandy, that's a great start. And I am sure anyone will understand you.

Díky. :) Pomohlo ti to? Už umíš obě vyslovit?

Ahoj Simono, to je moc krásný komentář! Cvičení na nácvik hlásky R, která ve videu jsou, jsou logopedické techniky, které když budeš trénovat, jistě se R naučíš velmi dobře. Pokud bys měla pocit, že k nim musíš přidat ještě nějaké další techniky, možná najdeš ještě další rady v jiných videích na RU-vid, ale já sama jsem si dělala přehled všech různých logopedických pomůcek, popsaných ve fonetických příručkách, a tyto vycházely jako nejúčinnější. Takže věřím, že to určitě zvládneš. Zkoušej si to každý den a za pár týdnů budeš mít krásné RRRRR :) A můžeš si klidně taky zazpívat, když budeš chtít trochu výzvu :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JKomxT7ImEg.html

podařilo se ti to naučit? a Ř umíš nebo to taky ne?

@@hskpc Ahoj, Ř mi nějak problém nedělalo problém... A řekla bych, že co se týče R tak už je to tak lepší... Měla jsem problém to jen vyslovit v některých slovech ho říkám už hezky a zřetelně ovšem v některých jsem zas na začátku 😅

:)

I understand you. :) Thanks

🫶🏻

welcome! :)

Hi Kaushal, not really. "je" in french is more like Ž.

@@CzechWithKaterina then is it similar to say Ř as zh as in the word "pleasure"

Sure! Your Czech bf will serve as a great partner for practice of what you self-learn! :) And R and Ř is simply a matter of practice. :)

Hi Kunal, have you tried one of the template tests? What are your results? I teach private classes, so feel free to send me and email and we can arrange a couple. czechwithkaterina.cz

@@CzechWithKaterina i m just try their website papers , my exam is so close , maybe after exam i will take private class from you

@@kunalranawat3724 i am sure it will be alright

I dont know what you mean by trilling :)) but why… im not sure, its just how Ř sounds unfortunately. 😂

Wish you the best of luck!!! :)

😃 hodně štěstí!

@@CzechWithKaterina thank you 😊

@@MagicxReal-Studio neni zac!

He was a brilliant man! In Czech the title is: Moc bezmocných. Hope one day you will be reading the original. :)

@@CzechWithKaterina Thanks alot for correcting me and for your wishes.

I understand... but don't focus on Ř than... that's such a specific and pretty unimportant topic for starting to speak! :)

No supeeeer

I can imagine! But with a ton of practice, you will be a pro. Do you have your favourite Ř word already? :)

Oh yeah and also in ecuadorian spanish as a variation of rr

Ahoj Marko :)

:))))

@@CzechWithKaterina mohu vás pozvat na drink? 😊

@@plavookimacan3538 HAHA Myslím, že to není vhodné. :) Jsem vdaná a mám malého syna. :D

@@CzechWithKaterina Děkuju. Vše nejlepší 😊

@@plavookimacan3538 Hodně štěstí i Tobě! :)

To je pravda, myslíš, že je ještě těžší než ř?

Já jsem češka, ale vim že cizinci s tim mívají docela problémy

I agree!

Promiň Rafaeli, já jsem taky Češka, a bohužel ne, nerozumím, co přesně chceš napsat. "po kom je" asi mělo být něco jiného?

Haha není zač :) učíš se nějaký jiný jazyk?

Haha čau Jirko. To mě pobavilo. Pomohlo ti to tehdy?

@@CzechWithKaterina mě to poučování spíš bylo nepříjemný... to ř nějak pak přišlo samo :-)... ale pro cizince to pomoc být může, tam autentickou zkušenost nemám :-)

Ahoj Nicol, já jsem česka. Neposlouchej je a trénuj. Určitě se to naučiš, a jestli se ti někdo směje, nemysli na to, ty lidi ti za smutek nestojí.

Děkuju :) chceš typ na pár detailů, které můžeš změnit ve tvém textu?

Doslova ona to je česka víž ona mluví anglicky ale učí ř

interesting, which words do you have in mind... jak Jack? that's more like czech DŽ

To je pravda . Je těžké

Hahaaa Backi, it exists but it's not really too important. It is great to know about this and practice, but even if you can't pronounce it just yet, anyone will understand.

:D

Já jsem Češka :D :D :D jsem vystudovaná bohemistka a lektorka češtiny pro cizince. :)

Písmenko je stejné, ale je také zvuk přesně stejný? Možná se tvoří jinak...?

@@CzechWithKaterina słyšam łužisko-serbsku telewiziju dotal myslu kiž su bliske a podobne

haha promin, můžeš to napsat česky? já nerozumím polsky. vím, že poláci čechům rozumí, ale pro nás to není přirozené. děkuji :)

@@CzechWithKaterina ně mohu napisać ale rozumju čěsku a moja rěč je hornjoserbšćina ně pólska Znaješ Němčinu?

Ano, většině Čechů to nedělá problém. :)

Proč? :)

@@CzechWithKaterina protože český umím

I say ř And r in czech

🫶🏻

That's very flattering comment, Saqib. :D I am married and have two small kids. But I am sure you can learn Czech to chat to other Czech ladies. :))))

Hi Mark, depends… 😅

Hi there! I’m Also from the Czech Republic

Ok

Nechápu, ale díky za komentář.

Ahoj ja jsem ceska a lektorka češtiny

Ahoj, mám se skvele! A co ty?

Ahoj, já taky. :) Děkuji.

Absolutely, Ivan!! 💜

Ahoj Kláro :)

Děkuji, Abdel! :) x

What do you mean? I have no recolection of such connection 😄

Jahahahahaaaa

Whats so striktně about learning R?

Polish rz is a bit different than ř

Slovák languages doesnt have Ř ať all so they also need to learn it if they want to say it right

Thanks for commenting

Tak to zkus s mým videem ;)

Haha interesting idea to remove a sound from a language! :))

Jake reklamy?
