How to Pronounce the American R Sound: American R Part 1

im a pirate.. why was i suggested this video?

Producing the American 'R' is no child's play 😅 I don't know but most of us don't sound like the Americans when we try to produce it 😂 and that's pretty much noticeable. It is better to be in close proximity to people who speak the language that you're aspiring to learn. Otherwise, one has to put in so much effort and time.

Thank you Teach.

you're so beautiful i love you

How do you make the sound using these letters KRRR or KROUCK ?

Madam your speaker american englisg super condnue your video madam❤😮🎉

I follow british english... but american english is crazy.

I don't know why, but when I try to do it it turns out more or less well, but when I put it together with its proper words I feel that I exaggerate it too much and it looks very unrealistic,

Thank you for an amazing video

Is the /r/ sound in British and American English pronounced exactly the same way when it precedes a vowel sound? Thank you so much for your interesting and useful lessons.

Helpful!

Thank you so much .Don't related but you're so pretty.

It’s job very nice

My old nemesis R

I always thought the way I pronounce the R sound with my tongue tip curled up is wrong and should be corrected. Luckily I saw your video here. Thank you for your detailed explanation for this. I really appreciate this, especially the sure pronunciation practice.

I said no nothing

🎉🎉🎉 great

when my tongue don't touch anything, my R seems like british R,why ??

i can pronounce the hard 'R' sound if i touch the top of my teeth

I studied English language for a long time now.🎉

This was the best video I've ever seen on how to pronounce the R sound. Thank you so much.

amazing video for R sound.

Really i like your Way to teach English q

Thanks alot just learned it in the first go. Appreciate your efforts 🙏

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

I love you

American R sound is actually original British pronunciation. Sometime in the 1600s England changed their accent to sound more posh so as to separate themselves from the working classes
Shakespeare likely used Rhotic language

God bless you

Excelente explicación. Uno de los mejores videos de pronunciación del R sound. Congratulations

If we really wanted to help foreigners learn English more easily, we would switch to a complete phonetic alphabet. I made one. I converted 5000 words. It's awesome. It would take years off childhood schooling and it improves efficiency considerably. It also reduces the challenge of spelling words to near monkey level. Spelling Bees would be obsolete.
The general premise of our alphabet going back to the Phoenicians, was to use simple characters to represent the individual speech sounds. For some strange reason, we didn't follow through on that plan and ended up with a half-baked alphabet. I fixed that. I call it 7th Melennium English or 7M-ENGLISH.
Example below:
If wε rilε wʌnted tq help forinrz lrn Εnglix mor εzulε, wε wůd swic tq u kumplεt fonetik alfubet.

Spanish speakers speak a trilled (d) sound when they see an (r). They have a minor double tap (d) sound and a major many taps (d) sound. Personally I think this stems from the fact that (r) is a vowel, so when people began using it as a consonant, they found it very disappointing since it lacks the body and substance of a real consonant, thus the trilled (d) was an act of over compensating for the depressing deficiency of the misused (r) vowel.

It's a vowel. (R) is a vowel and you can prove it to yourself by voicing it continuously and listening to it and noticing that it remains the same sound from start to end. It is a monophthong aka 'pure vowel'.

Permit me to make the following remark: As a native Russian speaker, I can testify to the fact that one can totally hold out a rolled R. Thank you so much for your videos, they're helpful!

Hi teacher,l so really like you to listen your video,l wish prophs to you teacher,l'm listening in Haiti.

my name is Abid & I am from Pakistan, I lived 15 years in Dubai, I am working on American accent , and your way of teaching is so helpful. Thanks a lot

I am not american, and can still imperssonate an american accent pretty well, but when i talked with american people it didn't sound accurate and sometimes i even sounded unclear, especially when theres the R letter.. i am saying it well, but why does my accent still feels off at some phrases, i just figured you use certain tone changes in words and R isn't actually all of my accent problem, i realized i am not using always the right tone and sound in some words, an american accent is not just the sound of letters, it is much deeper than this...and it is still odd to me that i am not sounding perfect, i am from israel, but i use english even more than hebrew sometimes, i think in english, i search google in english, and hear a ton and tons of americans from movies/videos, I BREATHE english, it became like my native language...so why didn't my brain learn how to speak with a perfect accent if i am around english so much, is it normal? Can i talk with a perfect english accent even if english isn't my native language? If i practice enough.. is it possible to sound at some point like a true born american if lets say i live in america for 10 years, even if i wasn't born american?

Hi! I'm a 12 year old boy, and I can't say the letter R since I was born. I've been trying to pronounce it since I was a little kid, but I couldn't. I've stop practicing for like 2 years, and it has been interfering with my studies, like how your suppose to talk to the whole class, but my Rs make me sound like a baby. Its embarrassing. I've been trying to make friends but it is so hard just with not saying R. Like my name. Ruselle. For others, "What's your name?" Is a easy question to answer. For me, it's not. I say "Wuselle". And they will say 'Wuselle' back and we have a confusing conversation. I hated that. This is my Day 1 of trying to say R. I hope through the days I'll slowly make my mouth say the R sound!

i am sure she is very beauty

Hi Keenyn, I am an educator of more than 30 years in American universities. I just watched your "R" 3- part videos and I found them useful immensely. I am very interested in reducing my accent and I believe watching your videos will help a lot. I need to know which area I should be focusing more rather than taking a wide brush approach. I was thinking of recording say one minute of my speech and have someone troubleshoot it to identify the obvious errors that I make in my speech. Do you have any advice? Thank you. Sam

Thanks for making this For some reason i always Mix r with w for example if i say the word "Weird" I said Weiwd And its so embarrassing im African Im from africa and after a month i was born i came in The u.s im 14 Speaking now and i always had trouble in school when i said the word r people made fun of me well not make fun of just tease and just joke about it but i find it offensive
