  • I'm able to produce the French R. Is the German one exactly the same?

  • @bnmjy Yes, it's the same r. The only difference is that the German r is "softer" which means it is rubbed very slightly. The Arabic sound "ghain" is also the same sound.

  • the third question is

    3. what is the difference between the Voiced Uvular Fricative and the voiced uvular trill ????

  • @greatness484 Both sounds are formed with the back part of the tongue and the uvula. While the voiced uvular trill is rolled at the back, the voiced uvular fricative is rubbed.

  • @easyonlinegerman :D my problem is that I don't know the difference between rolled and rubbed ... Can you help me with that ?

  • @greatness484 I explain that very thoroughly at the beginning of the second video about the German r: "Pronunciation German r after (grouped) consonants".

  • @easyonlinegerman ok I will ckeck it again.... and thanks again really

  • @greatness484 Yes, I published two videos about the guttural r or - to be more exact - about the voiced uvular fricative sound.

  • First of alll thanks alot.... this video is very very useful.

    I would like to ask 3 questions.

    1. Other than the unstressed e sound and the reduced a sound , we have the Guttural R sound which is the same for both videos (R related two videos ) am I right ?

    2. The guttural R sound includes many groups inside it, like the Voiced uvular fricative and the voiced uvular trill, In the R related videos (two videos) when you say Guttural you meant the Voiced uvular fricative .... Am I right ?
