Improve your pronunciation of "r" in French and German! Richard explains how to position your tongue and control your breath to make this sound correctly.
Many people get overwhelmed with the idea of sounding like a native in studying a foreign language. Speaking with an accent seems like a normal state. However, with a few tips on being aware of how our mouth makes sounds, a little concentration can produce great results. I made this video series to show you how to increase your awareness of all the parts of your speaking apparatus.
Speaking a language feels wonderful as you work to move your mouth like a native.

this is a really really difficult sound to make. I feel like I lost my ability to expand my phonemic inventory even though I'm only 20. Learn languages early, kids.

@didjaseemyjams1582 5 лет назад

I just sound like a cat trying to barf up a hair ball. XD

@musicfan321 8 лет назад

I'm German and that was perfect. Wow!

@pepaxxxsvinka3379 2 года назад

Is German and French r the same?

@sam248 5 лет назад

Attempt after attempt seems to be the way to go, finally starting to get it. The most helpful tutorial on this!

@TheChewycandy 5 лет назад

Wowwww, I have been searching for tons of video to learn the danish R pronunciation , this is the best and most useful one by far. Million thanks for this!

@dwaynecampbell9115 Год назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I've been practicing on my German accent, the "R" sound was my biggest stumbling blocks, after seeing this video, I was able to vibrate my uvula to do the German R, After months and weeks of frustration lol. Thank you so much, this video saved me from the struggles, You made my German lessons easier and simple.

@martendittmann5431 2 года назад

Wow, I've had trouble making this sound for ages and before this video even ended I was able to do it.

@Miserybahamut 5 лет назад

I cannot thank you enough. I am practicing this now and it is really flippin working! I am just gonna keep this up. THANK YOU!

Great video. Was able to do it on the first try.

@zamorak666avesatanas8 4 года назад

the last tip actually got me to do it. weird feeling, but sounded cool! funny thing is i just stumbled on this video, didn't actually seek to learn this new skill xD

@hahahaa34 7 лет назад

After watching your video, I'm now able to do it after 1 hour. Thanks!

@richardlanguage 7 лет назад

Wow! An hour. I'm happy you dedicated yourself to practicing so much. Glad it helped!

@earlymorningladyfarts 3 года назад

I finally did it thanks to you!!! You deserve a medal.

@ccaagg 3 года назад

Excellent video! Immediately managed to make the sound thanks to your explanation, now it's just practicing how to move to and from that sound in actual words. One question, if you are still responding to comments (I never properly learned IPA, so forgive any incorrect terminology): this is a definite, clearly defined trill, and I'm not quite understanding how to move from that clear trill to the more approximant/fricative sound made at the same place for the typical French 'r'.

@richardlanguage 3 года назад

Thanks for the question. I can't think of a specific technique to move to the next consonant. For me, it was like trilling my /r/ with the tip of my tongue. I just found common words to practice with. Eg, try "ronronner" ("to purr") in French.

@1hinita 4 года назад

its 2020, and i just want to say thank-you! this was a really hard pronunciation to imitate

@Fred-hx7uc 7 лет назад

Thanks, this is super helpful ! The only problem i have no is how to then transfer the R sound into a word!? (in particular German words, as that's what I'm learning). As soon as i then say Frau, Brot, rund or Radio etc.. i'm back to my English accent :-( Any tips would be great, thank you so much

@richardlanguage 7 лет назад

You have down the place of articulation and the position of your tongue. Great! I think that "Brot" and "Frau" would be good words to get used to the articulation of "r". Keep pronouncing these words; practice will surely improve what you're doing.

@Fred-hx7uc 7 лет назад

Thank you! and for the super quick reply :)

@christophercampbell2843 2 года назад

Very helpful explanation, I still can't hit that spot where I hear that trill sound. Is there a specific spot you place your tongue near the uvula? I sound like I'm chocking on something 😂😂

@brisakruspe Год назад

This is so hard. Isn’t it the same to just say the spanish strong R?

@chickpea8131 2 года назад

Hi, can you explain when you would use this r sound in french? I've managed to achieve a somewhat okay pronunciation of r, but I'm not sure when to use when speaking.

@abcde_ghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz2188 3 года назад

just watching this so i won't be angry over not being able pronounce trilled r

@eisemannzagon9628 3 года назад

@khletus8511 5 лет назад

I'm done of that R, I want to trill my R, but i'm only using my throat ....

@richardlanguage 5 лет назад

If you want to trill your R with the tip of your tongue, check out my other video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j9c5WEHUXn4.html

@wingedhussar1117 7 лет назад

What I don't like about your video is that you teach how to pronounce a uvular trill, but most Germans use a voiced uvular fricative.

@LucasOliveira-wo9xj 4 года назад

Isn't the fricative just for pronouncing CH?

@yan6434 2 года назад

No they don't, especially in central, western and northern parts

@agrid 5 лет назад

is the tongue touching the paladar? is the tip of the tongue on a specific part of the mouth?

@andrewbailey3548 7 лет назад

You have any more tips? I'm having a lot of trouble with this at the moment

nope french is romance language ~scarcasm~ not gutteral the slightest...

@tonyhawk94 5 лет назад

The two infos are not related. France is a romance language with a guttural "R", probably brought by the Frankish (a Germanic tribe) and that spread in France trhough the years. The "r" itself is said to originate from the Celts that gave it to the Germanic tribes.

@bobbyb9258 3 года назад

@@tonyhawk94 But since the gauls were celts it's highly possible the latin R became guttural just with gauls deforming latin, without the help of the franks.
