You know you're in trouble when there's a 9 minute video on how to pronounce just one letter...

@GloriamMonarchia 4 года назад

It's difficult for those who do not know how to imitate sound. I was often assessed as having great or perfect French pronounciation (on my DELF exam I got the highest marking on the spoken test, after the reading one), but I don't know how to express myself, or write - yet; on those my marks were much lower. It is just an inborn ability to hear & reproduce certain sounds. French is a very musical language too. They can just speak and it sounds like they're singing.

@kaymuldoon3575 4 года назад

I took French in high school back in the late 70s, and my French teacher was amazing. She explained that to properly pronounce the “r” is to pretend you are gargling but with no water, but to make the sound very softly and subtly, and not the harsh sound, same as what you were explaining in this video. That helped me tremendously and afterwards I had the pronunciation down pat.

@juch3 4 года назад

Basically the french R (uvular fricative) is like gargling but with a dry throat. If your uvula is too wet and vibrates to much then it may turn into the german R instead (uvular trill).

@IAmThe_RA 2 года назад

Well The French R sound is very common in European Portuguese. The Portugeuse "initial R" and "RR" are pronounced like the French R. Example: ronaldo, torre But most people in the north pronounce them like the Spanish R and RR (respectively). In Brazilian Portuguese, they sound exactly like English H.

After about 10 minutes of fiddling, I can finally pronounce it! It isn’t quite perfect yet. Doesn’t have to be. It will eventually evolve into a really good R.

This isn't the problem I end up having. My problem is that the French "r" is actually multiple sounds in different environments, but while I can do a light uvular fricative at the start of a syllable, if it's final and requires me to move to a consonant, it gets hard: "parler" is a surprisingly difficult word in French, and has an awkward hiatus between the syllables.

Merci Beaucoup, Virginie! I've needed to work on this. Now I walk around all day sticking my tongue out and gargle "AIR"... but I'll get it....

Just this one letter pronounced correctly (as best I can) has been a huge difference in my comfort level! Thank you!

My first language is English, but I know Spanish because my mother and father’s first language is Spanish. I heard French is easy to pick up if you know Spanish, so I tried. I mean, it’s not the hardest, but it’s not the easiest either. I can write okay, I guess, but pronunciation is a WHOLE other ball park. This so helpful, thanks!
