This has been the most helpful video so far for the French Rs.

@MyFrenchStory 4 года назад

Yayyyyyy !!! So happy I could help you with this video 😊

Agreed. The most difficult pronunciation in French

@jermainejohn4946 3 года назад

totally agreed!

Took almost seven years of french here in the U.S. and no one ever told me about feeling it in your neck. Thanks so much!

I still can't do it. Sounds like you need a lot of saliva. My sound just comes out dry

@JohnSmith-pg9ns 4 года назад

@Sky The Potato let me know how it works out. I've seen some videos and they say something different. I think I'm a little bit better at it now though

@joshr24 3 года назад

@@JohnSmith-pg9ns i have heaps of saliva and it gets stuck at the back of my throat

@loot6 2 года назад

@@JohnSmith-pg9ns Yeah it's actually nothing to do with saliva, the whole gargling with water thing will in fact lead you astray. I actually learnt to do it with saliva and then later discovered that was wrong and had to relearn it. It's a vibration of the tongue at the back...like the tip of the tongue for Spanish but reversed. If you think about it, if you had to do it with saliva then with a slightly dry mouth you wouldn't be able to speak French, so clearly that's not how it's done. I can do it with a completely dry mouth.

@sergiomercado3320 4 года назад

Knowing that it has three different sounds depending on the position was super duper useful. Thank you!

@jeanbaptistejuan7112 3 года назад

I am lucky to be French by birth...You should know that French is hard for us to learn. We go through 5 grade levels (5 years) in primary school to learn conjugation and grammar. We spend 5 years learning French in primary school, not counting kindergarten (3 years). Then middle school (4 years) during which we continue to learn conjugation and grammar. So be patient and listen to the advice of this charming young lady. You will get there with a lot of practice. You should know that English is not easy to learn for French speakers either. The sound "r" does not exist in English so be patient and practise, practise, practise again and again !

@peachyorganics6918 Год назад

Great advice. ❤ thank you because I'm black American and I get so frustrated with myself. 😅 in my mind natives come out the womb perfect french speakers 😅so thank you for giving me a realistic view of becoming fluent.

You have no idea how blessed you are! I’ve been trying to work on this sound, and once you started this video establishing that there are different sounds for /r/, I KNEW you were LEGIT! Thanks so much. God bless

@barbarataylor1062 4 года назад

Best explanation of how to pronounce a French r I have heard or found anywhere!. Most non-French French teachers and at least some French ones teach the r as pronoounced at the beginning of a word, tell us to drop r at the end of a word, and that's all. Yet anyone with functioning ears can hear that thethree different sounds, and I found immediately that I can't prounounce an r after a consonant in the same was as the r at the beginning followed by a vowel.Yet, no teacher I had would acknowledge that it was different. Thank you so much for clarifying this. It's so simple, as you explain it. Even though I can't pronounce any French r perfectly yet, you have shown us how to get it right! Merci beaucoup!

@badchunky1 4 года назад

Super helpful. Been having so much trouble pronouncing “recontrer”. The 3 R’s arein this word😅

@diadiaa892 3 года назад

There’s only 2 actually. Recontrer is an ‘-er’ verb, so you don’t pronounce it the same way as the first two ‘r’s’. Instead, its an “é” or “eh” sound x

@Godsgrace4725 3 года назад

Same here

@biggsleezy 3 года назад

@peneleapai 3 года назад

What could be the "ending R" in other words is not in the word *Recontrer* ? The last syllable is " --er", which in French is normally pronounced WITHOUT the "R" *sound*

@abarette_ 9 месяцев назад

@@peneleapai This is one of the few times where French orthography is ambiguous. "Premier" is definitely /pʁəmje/ or /pχəmje/, while "Mer" is /mɛʁ̞/. Usually it's in monosyllabic words, but it's not really a rule.
