Learn French - syllabes R

[Albanezkaa]

klasjfoaweiewajociewi FUCKKKKK WHY IS YOUR R SO HARDDDDDDD :(

[siaysi]

Well it's so funny to read the comments of people saying it's difficult. Well it is for non-native speakers but actually I'm french and I live for now 5 years in the US and in first it was hard for me too to say the "R" in english. I gotta tell now it's pretty easy for me ! So I just have to say to others who are learning french "Courage !" it's really fascinating to learn a new language. French is really easy comparing to english anw.

[spaaceful]

its soo difficult

[xXPurpleLoliTranceXx]

Oh. Pfft! Piece of cake I can do this.x3

[koreboms1993]

I get so fed up. I sound like a coughing cat or something..

[DaryMJ]

@koreboms1993 lol I agree, so funny

[percie57]

you know this reminds me of a long ago lessons I had with arabic "r" alphabet pronunciation..anybody realise this??

[otakuced]

well...im a french native speaker, i did live abroad and, the only thing i can say to people who try to learn french is "dont give a damn **** to how to pronounce the "R" like french people"...pronounce it like you can and it's gonna be ok! French people are stupid but not that much...we can understand easily if a "r" is not pronounced like a "french R"!!!@_@ learn the everyday french, you'll have surprises! ^^

[joancamo]

@otakuced say that to my french teacher!!! it's so difficult to pronounce the french R for me and it frustrates me

[supermiimi]

Is AU speaking like OU ??? .. :L

[frenchmotorbike]

@supermiimi AU is a long and closed O

[supermiimi]

@frenchmotorbike okay merci

[blythecrazy]

Does the French 'r' sound different in different words? In your video they sounded all the same but sometimes I hear such different pronunciations by the same person.

[bluemelody108]

I just start learning French and I can't pronounce R. It is so hard. Could you tell me how to pronounce it clearly and easily? It sounds like you're using an H (in English) instead of an R, but I know it's not.

Merci!!!

[frenchmotorbike]

@bluemelody108

the R sound is made, in french, with the throat (while the english R is made with the mouth)

[papouville]

I was always taught that in French, to get your Rs right, you have to swallow them. Don't ask me what that means, but it works for me!

[SKTPSY]

Is 'R' sounds is like 'Ah'? lease help !! TY

[Freshbott2]

I can say these fast but when I try to say French words quickly it doesn't come out very good.

[r215666f]

AGHHH! i still have problem with the R...HELP!!

[HappyBee14]

is this a native speaker?

[imagiers]

Yes I am

[MaGiLo90]

On the other hand, I'm a Spanish speaker, and the French and German r's are very difficult to pronounce for me. They either end up in in a (H) sound or a (G) sound. It's a real shame because they are very cool languages. They sound so awesome. At least in my opinion.

[ProLogikalTao]

It's very similar to the J in jugo. Well, if you're a speaker from Mexico or Spain...

[frenchmotorbike]

@ProLogikalTao

No, the J in Mexico and in Spain are different. The spanish J is too guttural for the french R. Let's say the french R is like a spanish J but softer. Actually the french R is the german R (comes from there)

[bla287]

I never had a big problem with the french R, because it's very similar to the German R (voiced uvular fricative [ʁ]). On the other hand the slavonic and Italian/Spanish Rs [r] are nearly impossible to pronounce for me, they always ends up as [z] or [ð] when I try.

[freoltic]

@bla287 i'm french and i have the same problem with the spanish r. it's impossible for me to pronounciated their r. rrrr

and yes the germans are the only to speak french very well

[sephylafudge]

I'm French but have been raised in England by my parents so I actually speak both languages fluently. Therefore I can't say I have difficulty with the French R, but in my class at college there are a lot of people who say it's very hard to pronounce. I guess it just takes time.

[silenzioso84]

i believe the french R is a peculiarity in the Universe like the way Hungarians put their last name first or Italians elect Berlusconi

[377830815tao]

il faut s'entraîner pour bien prononcer R..

[xfantasyinyoureyes]

I always found french easy

R = air?

[Anakoluti]

French is so haaard!

[leshark]

not really, its just those damn R's

[Laffytaffy7771]

its not just practiceeeee yesterday i was so darn frustrated with the r's and i kept doing it now i can (a day later)

literally it took me a while but out of no where i could just do it

you dont really hark it out like some people say you just breathe it out its just exaggerated when people say your harking up a glob of spit *twitch"

[Qcumber]

Some French people still roll their R. If the modern standard R is too hard for you, use the rolled R.

[pokey16jo]

Merci beaucoup! This is so helpful! R's are the hardest to pronounce in French, so that's where I need extra help. You make amazing vids.

[jparkcool]

this is the best I've ever seen for R pronunciation training in French. some are just showing off how good they pronounce. glad I found good one for beginner. Merci beaucoup!

[Laffytaffy7771]

je suis d'accord
