Thank you very much! I'm glad you appreciate my work and gain confidence from this video! Apart from French R, which sound(s) do you find most difficult in French?
Great video Lexi!. I understood the lesson, very useful the tip in how to pronounce this consonant correctly, now I have to practice it. You're an excellent French Teacher.
I have a tip, too... To start this sound, try saying the word "air", but keep your tongue forward, and pressed against your lower teeth. That's how I got it....
Believe me, i have never seen such a dedicated teacher like u.. for one alphabet 'R' u r giving so much time n so many pronunciation trics .. just amazing... U r awesome... Thank u so much from the core of my heart ... For u everyday is happy teachers day....keep on teaching... A true teacher must be like u.. for me R is the toughest alphatet in French to pronounce 🎉❤😮

Thanks, Lexie for your dedication. Your tricks are really healpful. The video and explanation of the "R" sound so far😃 For me, blocking the air at the back of the tongue and then practicing the gargle sound work best. Merci beaucoup.
Yay! Another french channel! I need all the help I can get. I'm a total beginner lol Out of curiosity, I was wondering if British people have a British accent when they speak french? Do we sound really weird? It was a question on a radio show and now I'm curious aha
If you're a total beginner, you are definitely on the right channel! Regarding accent, we all have accents when we speak another language. I have a French accent when I speak English! Accents don't matter as long as people understand you ;)
@@LearnFrenchwithLexie Well, if I may, it would be even better to speak English with an English accent! And one of the best ways to be understood in a foreign language is to nail the accent and pronounce like the natives do. At least, if the accent is spot on, that’s one less obstacle as far as being understood is concerned. Plenty of people speak a foreign language with no, or virtually no accent from their native language. In fact, more people than we think because when we hear these people speak, we don’t notice they’re not speaking in their native tongues! Of course, having a foreign accent is not a crime, but the accent (and I include in this the pronunciation) is important when learning a foreign language, and we should try to mimic a native accent of the target language as best we can. A proper accent is not only something cosmetic to care about if we have time and add like a mere ornament, like the cherry on the proverbial cake, it is part and parcel of a language! That’s my opinion anyway...
very helpful clarifications, thank you! One question if permissible - This all makes sense to me (only slight experience with French) except the pronunciation of, "Noire," where there seems to be a slight touch of weight and tone to the R beyond the throaty rumble. Is there a difference or should it be the same also in Noire? Towards the completion of this video, in your pronunciation of the R in 'Journee,' is sounds more like how French people seem to me to say Noire too. The R seems to have less chhaaa and a bit of the English R, and in Noire, a bit of Italian or Spanish, just a mite of roll above the chhaaa. 😊 Hope i wrote this in a way that makes sense!
@@iamajoy4858 It is similar to the way you pronounce H in English. However, the French R has a bit of friction in the throat that the English H doesn't have 😉

Merci beaucoup Lexi pour vox excellentes vidéos de prononciation du français! J'ai appris français à l'école dans les années soixante en Australie - beaucoup de grammaire et de vocabulaire! Maintenant, j'apprends la prononciation correcte!
Je comprends parfaitement Sandy. Lorsque j'ai appris l'anglais à l'école, on ne nous enseignait que la grammaire et le vocabulaire. J'ai amélioré ma prononciation et ma compréhension orale par moi-même.
In the beginning, you tend to overdo the sound; that's why you're getting a sore throat. The French R is really subtle and it's close to the English H. You can check out this video in which I compare them: ua-cam.com/video/82y6aNvhBnQ/v-deo.html
@@LearnFrenchwithLexie The present and imperfect subjunctive would be excellent! E.g., I want him to do the homework. AND I wanted him to do the homework. It would be great though maybe a little advanced ... what do you think? Look forward to learning with you on your channel. Merci !
You're not entirely wrong Sefora, because the G and the R are pronounced at the back of the mouth. But they are different. For G, the base of the tongue goes up against the roof of the mouth, it touches it, then the tongue is withdrawn quickly in one go, expelling the air. For R, the base of the tongue also goes up to block the amount of air passing through the mouth but it goes up slightly and it doesn't touch the roof of the mouth. The air you keep expelling and the small space left for it to pass through cause the uvula to vibrate slightly against the base of the tongue. 🫶
The word "parle" can fucking suck it. Been trying to pronounce it for months and I can't get the goddamn thing. I can do all the other french r's, but "rl" is impossible.
Alright Ryan! Let me try to help you! First, let's focus on getting the perfect AR sound. In the second video I made about the R sound, there is a focus on AR. You can check out this video if you need it and go directly on the third chapter "Practice R with vowel sounds" and it starts with AR (ua-cam.com/video/82y6aNvhBnQ/v-deo.html ). Once you get the perfect AR, let's add the P, and practice getting the perfect PAR. Make sure you say it in one syllable, meaning in one breath. Once, you satisfy with it, let's add LE. But first, we will add it as another syllable. Practice saying PAR-LE. Make sure you pronounce LE as if you were saying "le" [lə] (the - masculine). Also say the word slowly, clearly separating the two syllables, even pausing between them if necessary. Then, slowly try to say it faster and faster, to get used to go from R to L as quickly as possible. Finally, try saying it in one syllable PARL, meaning you don't pronounce the E at the end. All the steps of this exercise are important. It is to make sure you get all the sounds correct, and to build muscle memory (make sure your mouth/tongue get used to go from one sound to the other). Remember to be patient, it takes time to get the right pronunciation, and make sure to let me know if it helps 🫶✨

Roux is the hardest for me because it sounds too similar to Rue when I pronounce
