This is incredible. I can now pronounce the German "r" just after watching this video and practicing a bit! I have been learning German 4 months and was struggling with this sound.
when I first learned German I was told that the only time that we use the sound ch as in ich, or g in fertig in English is when we whisper the word "huge". I practiced whispering only the h sound in huge and learned to Make the sound that way. It worked
I was a little pessimistic at the beginning of the video... But now I changed my mind. You have a flawless german and I admire you. Thanks for the tips. Well done! PROFFESIONAL!
The part that dealt with transitions was exactly what I needed. Thank you! I get stuck with words like „sprechen“, „welches“ and my favorite: „Eichhörnchen“ 😂
"die deutsche Bühnenaussprache" (=stage pronunciation), the first standard pronunciation, which was standardized by Theodor Siebs in 1898 and which was formally used in Germany until 1950s said these words like this: Schule [ˈʃuːlə], stark [ʃtark] ich [ɪç], fertig [ˈfɛrtɪç] hoch [hoːx], machen [ˈmaxən] trozdem [trɔts'deːm], kraß [kras] This kind of artificial pronunciation for actors and actresses on stage is easier for Indonesians as it uses an alveolar trill "r" if compared with today's standard pronunciation called "Deutsche Hochsprache" (now named "Deutsche Aussprache"), which uses a uvular fricative "r" and a vocalized "r": Schule [ˈʃuːlə], stark [ʃtaɐk] ich [ɪç], fertig [ˈfɛɐtɪç] hoch [hoːx], machen [ˈmaxən] trozdem [tʁɔts'deːm], krass [kʁas]
i may puke when i sound german’s R sound and headache comes to me ;0 , course, x sound too omg but this video is very helpful for people who can speak english :D
17:00 Wenn wir SEHR langsam gehen "sprechen" ist (finde ich) eigentlich 3 Töne/bewegeungen. 1. „sp“, 2. „R“ (Frikativ/Konsonant) 2. „chen“. Die ersten beiden ("sp" + "R") sind so nah beieinander, dass es sich anfühlt, als wären sie nur ein einziger Ton/bewegeungen.
This is exactly what I needed! Your tips helped me to practice those hidden tiny aspects which I was not sure how to polish. Thanks a lot for sharing Idahosa! All the best!
yes when people first learn a new sound they tend to overdo it. In the case of this sound, that means blowing too much air and scratching the throat. once you have the basic placement, aim to produce the sound with the absolute minimum amount of air pressure you can manage

The best tutorial on German pronounciation I've ever seen.

This worked for me as well.

so technical, amazing, love it, thank you!
Your explanations make pronouncing German sounds easier. Would you consider making a video on how to pronounce the 'ü' sound? Thanks!
Thanks Cheryl! We'll put that on our list =)
Visualizing the numbers/pronunciation points while performing the sounds really helped! Danke schön!
your welcome!
DUDE! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Exactly! Thank you!
As a speech language and hearing science student who just happens to be taking German, this is amazing!
"die deutsche Bühnenaussprache" (=stage pronunciation), the first standard pronunciation, which was standardized by Theodor Siebs in 1898 and which was formally used in Germany until 1950s said these words like this:
Schule [ˈʃuːlə], stark [ʃtark]
ich [ɪç], fertig [ˈfɛrtɪç]
hoch [hoːx], machen [ˈmaxən]
trozdem [trɔts'deːm], kraß [kras]
This kind of artificial pronunciation for actors and actresses on stage is easier for Indonesians as it uses an alveolar trill "r" if compared with today's standard pronunciation called "Deutsche Hochsprache" (now named "Deutsche Aussprache"), which uses a uvular fricative "r" and a vocalized "r":
Schule [ˈʃuːlə], stark [ʃtaɐk]
ich [ɪç], fertig [ˈfɛɐtɪç]
hoch [hoːx], machen [ˈmaxən]
trozdem [tʁɔts'deːm], krass [kʁas]

Is it normal to get sore throat while trying to practice the ch and r ?
