Good video! My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
About 20 years ago I read about a man who suffered a heart attack while walking his well trained GSD. The dog went into full protection mode and let none of the joggers near her master. Fortunately, a neighbour knew the commands taught to the dog and was able to call her off allowing lifesaving CPR. However, another neighbour had raced inside to get his pistol expecting to have to shoot the dog to save the man’s life. Thank heavens the first neighbour had called in sick that day and man and dog were saved. So, the question is, have you built in “protections” Matt? Would a dog allow a paramedic near a gunshot handler, for instance?
Only 6 months? I'm a native speaker of a language that features the same r as in Spanish.. And I'm 20+ years past the point when I was expected to pronounce it, yet I cannot, even if my life depended on it
20 years and I still can’t do it. I have anklyoglossia and I haven’t been able to find any resources on learning the alveolar trill specifically for people who genetically have below average mobility in the tongue.
@@lucialma well, if your ankyloglossia is severe, you won't be able to practice alveolar trill. Maybe you can, if you can pronounce L with the tip of your tongue on the alveolar ridge - that means that your ankyloglossia is not severe. Otherwise it is physiologically impossible for you. You can however undergo a frenotomy - it is not very invasive, it wasn't problematic even for a child (by which I mean myself when I was little). I was born tongue-tied too, but it was corrected. The thing is, the specialist who recommended the procedure must've been incompetent, as a speech therapy is an essential standard procedure after frenotomy and he/she didn't perscribe it to me. So, despite gaining the proper theoretical tongue mobility, I still kept on speaking, swallowing, essentially doing everything with my mouth as if I was still tongue-tied. The old habits would not disappear by themselves obviously. It took me 20+ years to find out what is wrong after trying to examine why I could not roll my R, like everybody around me does. So, I recommend you a frenotomy - it is an uninvasive and quick procedure, but it must be followed by a speech therapy. It will be worth it, trust me
@@janboreczek3045 i just got my frenectomy because like you my native language has the rolled r sound and I’m 19 and cant get it hopefully this surgery will help me i got it two weeks ago but still can’t do it i just hope I’ll roll my r one day 🙏
It is kinda hard to say d d d simultanously while using that q-tip. For some reason I cannot coordinate those two things at the same time, only one at the time
Hello, I tried to practice with 'd' and i got my vibration for a second, i kept doing for a few days and now it still only last for one or two second, it sounds like 'der~', I couldn't get the R sound, please help me

Thank you
.. i know I sound like crap, but if someone were to react like that to me I don’t think I’d be able to try again 😭
Can anyone explain how to keep your toung raised while keeping it relaxed? I'm at a loss.

Gracias! Despues una mes, I'm finally rolling my "R". This really helped! Thanks again!

When I use my Rs sounds, I just couldn't get my tounge in the right position. Could you please help me with my Rs sounds?
Spanish: Easy way to roll your ‘R’.
Russian: Hold my vodka. "Барррррселона!"
P.S. How do you say "Tractor" ?
After the first round of the 5 practice, I got vibration!!!!!
Can you write the tongue twister here? The one that starts with El perro....
El perro de San Roco no tiene rabo porque Ramón Ramirez se lo ha cortado.
I can't stand the sound of Spanish. Especially the rolled r is just awful
