do you think the guy pronouce correctly or a little pit over talk

[sportsscientist]

Yes, The sound is over pronounced and dramatic because the video is used as an instructional video. The teacher must always over pronounce the sounds in order for students to clearly see the differences in the sounds.

Once you can replicate the sound then you can tone it down to become more subtle or gentle.

I hope this helps.

Sorry, but I think I will have to disagree on the way you pronounce L and R in English.

L is what we call an alveolar sound with air coming out from two sides of your tongue. It has the same place of articulation with T and D but differs in the manner(way)of articulation. So it is rather strange to put your tongue out of your teeth; or, if not wrong, it is yet too exaggerative to do so.

[sportsscientist]

As I wrote before the sounds are exaggerated to show distinction.

It appears that those comment on the videos critically are mostly correct in their specifics but my videos are used primarily to teach JAPANESE students who have no experience of the sounds or the techniques in producing them.

Eloqution is something that only Native speakers seem to be able to accomplish.

I hope this helps to explain.

@Tradewind4 In Scotland, people pronounce R as a rolled R. The man in the video is scottish.

I can do the "r" when it's in the beginning of a word, but nor when it's in the middle, like in "jury" - then it sounds like a w or sometimes an l. Any help?

[YakobusRO]

To my ears, this (Scottish?) trilled r sounds actually quite better than the approximant versions of r pronounced by virtually all American and English people. By the way, it used to be the pronunciation of r in Old English.

people cant say la?

[MIRIAMcm]

omg this man must think we are demented

[001Asoer]

His /l/ is a labial lateral approximant! In which language is that used?

make out with the camera why don't you. . .

The Brazilian Portuguese single "R" (in the middle of the word or in clusters: pr-, cr-, etc.) vibrates as well. Thank you so much for these 2 sounds. I'm quite familiar with the phonics used in Scotland. I love how it sounds. : )

The /l/ looks funny on him. When i pronounce the /l/ sound, i don't stick out my tongue like that as to touch the upper lip..In fact, when he started saying words with the light /l/ sound, his tongue didn't touch his upper lip anymore.. We touch the tip of our upper lip when pronouncing it though.

But all in all, thanks for posting this vid.
