    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

    "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]

    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.

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

    • @MimicMethod
      @MimicMethod  Рік тому +1

      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
