    He makes it seem so easy. I taught English Conversation to adults for 16 years and very few non-Americans can pull it off. I appreciate his effort to explain how the American r works.

      Something I wish I knew when I was a kid is that it’s not permanent, you can and will learn it correctly over time, I used to be scared to even say my name,now I sing confidently, I remember watching these videos stressing out feeling like I’d never get it, you will, don’t give up, don’t feel bad, you are special and god made you that was for a reason, don’t let it make you feel bad, you can do ANYTHING you set your mind yo

    For me as arabic speaker originally "R" is the toughest letter in english cause in arabic R is pronounced by tongue touching the upper frontal teech which sounds like strong and repetitive

One is about making clients happy and another one is about job interview. I am enjoying learning them now. I don't have deal with clients but I find this course useful anyway. Sometimes we are clients. So this course can help us to understand people who provide services to us and to get along with people in our daily life. Thanks again!

    Oh man! Thanks for helping us about this. I'm from Brazil and I'm also teaching english to a friend and I she's from Minas Gerais, which is a place that anybody speak words with "R" sound. They used to use the "h" sound instead. So it's something like that: Hadio (radio) and it's so hard to teach her to change this "R/H" and make her speak like "Restaurant, Radio..." but I'm going to use your video.. let's see if I can do it 😄

    Me as a non native speaker find it very easy to pronounce the r ,i think what’s really difficult is to pronounce word combinations like „either way“.
    „Either“ alone is no problem ,“way“ alone also is no problem but as soon as I have to put them together it sounds so weird and I end up just saying the r flat .

    Rolling the tip of your tongue up is only 1/2 of the job. If you want to really make it sound native, you also need to push (or pull) your whole tongue a bit to the back (towards your throat)

I've figured out how I can explain how to say my name -Jarmila to you. :-) I've figured out it now :-) The 1st letter-J is said like when you say YOU but only the first half of it-just J. And the rest of my name you said correctly. Greetings, Jarmila.

  • @7MPhonemicEnglish
    @7MPhonemicEnglish Рік тому +3

    American (r) is a vowel. You can sustain it until you run out of breath and it sounds the same from start to finish. It's the single monophthong vowel in the word 'drt'. Usually we use the combination of 'er' to represent the sound (ie 'better', 'gather') but that's only because we were brainwashed into believing that (r) is a consonant which led to the false notion that we needed to insert a vowel.

    • @Vagabondobiondo
      @Vagabondobiondo Рік тому

      You're totally right in practicality; that's exactly how I teach it to students. I think the speech science wonks have termed it a 'semi-consonantal vowel', though. Which means essentially what you said, but with some weird technicality which gives it a consonant flavor.

    • @7MPhonemicEnglish
      @7MPhonemicEnglish Рік тому

      @@Vagabondobiondo Yeah. It creates difficulty using vowels as if they are consonants. It's hard to figure out what we're doing with our mouth parts as well. I believe we do similar things with the word 'coordination' where a /w/ approximate may be used between the two /o/'s which gives the second /o/ a consonant flavor but we tend to recognize the /w/ as the consonant sound but we do the same thing with the 2nd /r/ in the word 'error' where we do a vowel /r/, consonant flavored /r/ and then another vowel /r/, an ill-begotten word for certain but we're stuck with it.
