How to trill your "R" properly - 5 MISTAKES MOST PEOPLE MAKE - Lesson 10 

This is GOLDEN! I have been trying to pronounce this type of R for about 10 years, went through every resource and video out there, bought books, all for nothing. This is the first time I have pronounced it correctly. I cannot thank you enough! Your video should be the go-to resource to learn this sound, but sadly I can only give it one like.

The hardest part is finding a private place to practice these techniques 😂

I am a revert to Islam and found these videos very useful to learn tajweed rules. It is very beautifully explained. Sheikh, thank you so much. May Allah SWT bless you immensely. Ameen. Jazzakum Allahu Khrian.

I did it for like .005 seconds, it was so weak as well, but just knowing i can do it is a big motivation, thank you so much

As Indonesian, learning /r/ like arabic is pretty easier because we pronounce the same r. Thank you so much🔥🔥.

I've had questions about the tongue that seem important and only you have answered them because you acknowledge their importance and anticipate that your students do, too. You're an excellent teacher. And thorough. Thanks.

Tips from my learning experience : STEP 1: First place your tongue completely touching the 'alveolar ridge' and back of the teeth then try to pronounce the sound "zzz..." With vibration like immitating the buzzing sound of bee. (This step is to make your tongue edge relaxed and feel the vibration which helps to flapping the tongue) STEP 2: After that immediately place only your tip of your tongue with flat tongue then try to flap the tip of the tongue only and make the sound "trrrr" like immitating roaring bike engine which helps to flap your edge of the tongue. STEP 3: If you getting used to flapping the edge of your tongue , then proceed to make ' رَ' sound which is slightly similar when you pronounce the word 'Draw". From there try to perfect the ' رَ'sound. Hope it helps! In shaa Allah :)

Omg! I got a trill with "car"! Not certain if it's a proper trill r but I've never been able to trill before! Background, I'm a native English speaker with a speech impediment. Rs are one of my trouble sounds. Been looking into Rs and how to trill cause I'm interested in language creation and various sounds.

Thank you so much for making this channel.it will be the medium to know about Arabic perfectly.

ZazakAllahu Khairan. Brother you are no less than a scientist of Arabic language. Love from India💙🇮🇳

Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah. Allah has shown me the way how to pronounce ر properly. Thank you sooo... much sheikh for your teaching. May Allah increase your knowledge and grant you jannathul firdous. Ameen ya Rabbal Alameen.

This is the most consistent ability to trill my R since watching your video. Excellent Thank you

Definitely worth to share. Inn shaa Allah , I will post this on my fb. 💚

OMG thank you so much for this video! I've been trying so hard and your visuals compared to saying that I actually have to relax the muscles helped so much!!! I could pronounce it almost immediately without a problem!

Very useful and new…Thanks.

At 13:15 smiling sooo much because I got it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼yaay Jazak Allah khayran

Subhaana Allah! Just seen this video after searching for a technique for a long time! Jazaak’Allaahu khaira brother 🎉

thank you ya ustaz , just relised im a visual learner jzkk

شكرا جزاك الله خيرا

Your delivery and content are absolutely fantastic, super useful video of outstanding quality.

As a Bangladeshi, i think it's quite easier for me to pronounce the letter "ر" because in bangla, we have 3 different letters to pronounce "R". One is like the arabic ر, another is more like the english R. The video was helpful tho, now i can differentiate quite much, alhamdu lillah, jazaakallah khayran

Such a good teacher u r

Ohh vry gud video, this is the 1st channel that focuses separately in each & every letters👍🏻.

excellent way to teach

Starting with noon helps me to make a small trill best. Thank u

JazzakAllahu khairan brother you don’t how happy I am right now

Thank U so Much!!!!

Thank you so much!! I can speak RR like rrr.. but have difficulty with the arabic hard Dah.. ur technique for visual learners is very helpful for me. and the preceding explanation is good when I reflect on how correct I am getting it. Thank u for explaining so well the hardest part of the language.. :) Shukran!!

Jazakallah khair

this is the best video i have watched on this! getting less bad with practice :) thank you so much

I thought its impossible as my mouth shape on the roof is slightly awkward shape. but I think its working. thank you so much.

Thank you soooooooo much!!!!! MashAllah❤

So I’ve been able to teach myself how to do the trill, the trouble I’m having is incorporating it into the words. It’s like my tongue goes tense. But the tip you gave of keeping the back of your tongue stiff to support the relaxed tip is definitely helping I think. Just gotta keep practicing.

🤩 amazing

As a german I always struggled with those trilling Rs. Great Video, i got some good sounding Rs out.

I always thought that the Arabic r was like the English r, but I just learned it's like our Spanish r. Thanks so much.

where did you get all this information? This video answers every question so eloquently and breaks it perfectly down. Subhanallah, I would like to know where you get your knowledge from

ممتاز 😍

So helpful

The fa trick is great 👍😃 I will practice

Despite the fact that this sound is present in my native language, I never managed to produce it. Heck, I've learned those arabic pharyngeals relatively easily, but this alveolar trill is beyond me. I produce r kinda like L, but with a flap. Generally, the "center of gravity" when I'm speaking is on the palate and glottis

Lololol literally my problem was solved @1:03 thank you 🙏🏽

Omg i tried to force the flap and my upper lip started dancing 😂😂😂😂 i have a short tongue, it's been a struggle to pronounce raa. InsyaAllah i will practice using your techniques. Jazakallahu khairan brother!!

MasyaAllah....tq for making this tutorial video. It does help me ( non- arab speaker ) to pronounce the letter ر correctly. You got a new sub here👍.

the 3rd method works on me well!!!! I´ve got a bit of tongue vibration at 30 years since my first try. Love you^^ though it works only when I see your face, so I will have to carry your image with me for sometime ^^

This channel comes up as Tajweed Google Barakalla feek 🤲

جزاك الله خيرا

i work with some palestinian brothers and sisters, and while trying to learn arabic, i found myself unintentionally implementing sounds from arabic when i am speaking english. i always felt bad about doing it as it made me feel like i was trying to mimic their pronunciation of the english word, but now that you have instructed us to do this with ر, i realize that my brain was just getting used to the sounds i was hearing and learning around me, thus helping me to learn the correct pronunciation. love this series brother, may Allah swt bless you for your kind efforts!

Good

Hi bro, I love the video and it has really motivated me. Quick question, how do you pronounce the r without the trill? Like when you are car without the troll, where is your tongue position?

Lol I'm just a regular white girl who was a weird child and made this sound for fun 😝 I can also fold my tongue into every shape, clover, roll, taco 🤪 so language enunciations come way for me.

You contradict many other videos, but I think this is the best I've watched so far. Still doesn't work for me though, I have tried this for 20 years with zero success. It only makes me dizzy, but the tip of my tongue won't move. Can't whistle on my fingers either btw. I wonder why some languages have to have sounds that not even all native speakers can produce. :(

Thanks, sir 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

This brother is a genius. Allah bless you.

Masha Allah. Really in this channel only many tricks and practices to get a correct pronunciation. Alhamdulillah. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us for the sake of Allah. Jazakallah khair.

This one’s not easy😳

I speak Spanish and English so I am used to this sound

As salaamualaikum Ok. I really am glad you have thought of so many techniques Nevertheless. It is still like training for the Tour de France. Lol Jazak Allah khair. I won’t give up bithnillah

Jazkallhiren

SWEEEEEEEEDISH

MasyaAllah..here in the Malay archipalago many Muslims recite quran the way it should be.Mostly with qiraat wasyh(sp)..but lack of knowledge what has been read.So the task now is to teach and learn quranic arabic with their right translations/meanings..and believe me it is not that easy.May Allah leads and shines us all our way to jannah. Alhamdulillah we have a great Muallim here to help us.May Allah rewards him with Janatul firdausi(p/s fir not the English Fir..but more like field. Pardon me for lack of lingo skill

I will keep trying...hopefully it will work someday 😣

Sheikh could you please explain how to pronounce letter و I found none of your vedios explaining و جزاكم الله خيرا كثيرا

I've watched so many of these videos and it almost seems impossible to get my tongue to emit this sound. I will pay you if you can teach me how to make this possible

I've always had a specifically hard time with the alveolar trill, which is odd because I can already trill anywhere in my mouth but at the alveolar. I am able to rear trill, middle tongue trill and tongue tip trill on the roof of my mouth but as i move the tip of my tongue forward towards the alveolar the sound breaks and becomes an ssssssh sound, any suggestions for what I and probably many others might be doing wrong?

Assalamu Alaikum. Do you think it is the same R as in Russian? Like somewhat resembling some sort of a motor machine sound or something lol. But the thing is, that one would do A LOT of movement. It’s so weird how many different R sounds there can be lol

I can make a trilled r-sound with my tongue flat on the bottom of my mouth, and I can move my tongue around and make pretty much any sound that requires the tongue to move, including putting the tip of my tongue against the ridge, which changes the sound, but it's never the tip of my tongue that's vibrating, and people say I'm doing it wrong. I'm feeling pretty helpless.

jazakAllah khairan for this video.. I wanted to know how to make the 'ra' heavy and light?

Well... I can't even manage the 'forced' trill...... soooo, at 40 i'm about ready to give up for life. Nice video and useful.... but not for me, I fear I'm a lost cause

The technique of the forced flap seems good, then the n before rhe r.

Alhamdulillah after a lot of practice I can flap my tongue for several minutes but can you give me tips to now use my voice at the same time to produce r?

A rolled R also exists in the Southland, New Zealand dialect, probably by way of Scotland.

I was born in Switzerland and my dad is algerian. He never really got to teach me proper arabic, but i am now. Im doing just fine with all the other letters pronunciation. But i struggle with this stupid r

When I am pronouncing and I place my finger on my throat the fruit is shaking show is it ok well while pronouncing rrr?

This is so hard for me😭 may Allah make this easy for me🤲

No success yet with the trilled R, but this was a good explanation with some different things to try that the other videos I have watched don't have. Thanks!

Absolutely hard for Japanese mother tougue. We only have such rigid sound with minimum mouth movements. I can't even flap my lips...

السلام عليكم يا اخواني المؤمنين

Whenever i try to vibrate my r my tongue comes out of my mouth to vibrate..and the vibrations are more like drrr and trrrr..can you please tell what i am doing wrong which makes my tongue come in front when i blow air to vibrate it..when i shoot a video of myself it was like my tongue is vibrating in the middle of my lips rather than vibrating in the back of my mouth..i try hard to keep it back but whenever i blow air my tongue stucks out

OMG i succeed!!!!!!!

Wow, thank you very much! Your teaching is magical! I've been practising this sound for a long time, and I managed it halfway just seeing your video! The word "halfway" means I now can really do the VIBRATION of the tongue, but the vibration is smaller ones - like Turkic languages - not large ones in Arabic! However, I'm still super excited about my progress! I've been following the tips in this video in just ten minutes, but the progress has been significantly greater than 3 months of previous practising!

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته

Hello your video was brilliant about pronouncing arabic raa but i still can't trill my r whilst my tongue is touching the gums , for some reason I can only trill from my throat and i was wondering if you could help

Asalaam aleykum. JazakAllah for this video. 🤲🏽. When I try to trill the 'r' it seems that only one side of my tongue (the left side) is flapping or trilling. Is that odd? 🤔

Asalamualaikum What is your accent

السلام عليكم May Allah reward you and increase you in your knowledge. I hope you accept this critique. The Arabic “ر” does not flap with air. Every Tajweed rule tells you what to do, expect one rule called “تكرير” which specifically tells you not to “roll” or “flap” the ر. Also in your ads you have women who are half naked working out. It would be best if you changed these ads. جزاك الله خيرا.

I have a question, what if your back teeth and side teeth are touching the tounge? Im concerned incase this is why i cant do it

I have problems with it, especially when using ر with shadda (doubled ر). Ar rahman - the ر here sounds more like english r or an w. I wish i could flapping it but it just doesnt work....what should i do? Somebody who get it through trainin

Take perro. Where is my tongue for the p? If I say just p, the tip is downward. So, then, after the p, does the tongue tip immediately flip to the the alveolar ridge? For rr, is my tongue tip already at the ridge for the initial very beginning vowel sound of rr? Don't you have to have some "plosive" of air to initiate the tongue vibration? How do I generate the air column needed to vibrate the tongue for rr? There's no plosive. Is it a vowel grunt? Upside down e? How many times does the tongue tip vibrate against the ridge for each rr sound? I remember my old Spanish teacher in HS back in late 50's rolling an rr sound for about 15 seconds, just for a demonstration. My 84 year old brother can make his tongue sound like a tommy gun, dit, dit, dit, dit very fast. So can my ex-wife. I can make dit,dit, dit, but not fast and my tongue has to do it. Not an air column, if you know what I mean. I've been trying on and off for a year or more. Seems to be getting better, but I'm still not sure I'm on the right track.

Assalamu’alaikum Does the tip of your tongue need to be just where your teeth ends and the ridge begins? I tried to do rrrr sound but my tongue ends up going a bit further back so the tip of my tongue is a bit higher than the ridge. Please advise...

hi! May I know if this Arabic R is same as the Italian R?
