Excellent lesson, I appreciate the fact that you stress the importance of producing the bunched R instead of the retroflexed. This helped me a lot. But I still find it hard with words like harder or murderer. That soft D before the R

Thanks so much for your comment, @ccagliveTV! I'm so glad that my explanation of the bunched R helped you :) The flap before the R sound, like in "harder" and "murder", is a very challenging sound combination to pronounce, but keep practicing! It will get easier! :)

Finally a teacher was able to teach it to me by simply explaining it was very close to the G sound. But not dropping the R still is a challenge.

I have doubts about the pronunciation of the word "Cure". I'm aware the this word begins with some sort of cluster /k/ as in cat + /y/ as in yes, so we have /ky/. However, the Vowel sound in this word kind of tricks me up. I don't know for sure if it's /or/ as in more o if it's /er/ as in her. Sometimes I even hear this word pronounced with some kind of /oo/ as in food /kyoor/. It's so confusing. Is there any standart pronunciation or ALL three pronunciation are fine? /kyor/, /kyer/, /kyoor/? What the heck!

Great question! And the answer is...all three pronunciations! It just depends on the speaker, where they're from, and their preferences. I've heard all three pronunciations you mentioned in your comment :)

Keep up the hard work, @pssilva3973! This video was about the consonant R, not the vowel R, so check out my other videos about R-colored vowels if you'd like practice with Rs in the middle and final positions :)

I am going crazy every day. I listen to American podcasts and watch children’s stories for more than two hours, and I did not find any improvement. When I was shocked by my English language today at the doctor, I started to fumble with words as if I were from another planet. I hope for a solution from

Nice animation! But it's impossible to feel the side of the tongue for me. I don't think most people have conscious control over manipulating the side of their tongues.

Why is it so hard to pronounce L after american r. For example in 'yourlife'. I can pronounce words like girl and world because they have dark L. But in yourlife....tongue is back and it takes time to bring it front to pronounce L in life 😢😢😢
@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent
@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent 4 ай бұрын
Hi Fynn - Thanks for your question! I'm not sure why the phrase "your life" is challenging for you, but the word "girl" is easy for you - usually it's the opposite! But you're probably correct that it has something to do with the tongue movement. Maybe for you, it's just harder for your tongue to move forward to make the L in the phrase "your life" but within a single word, your tongue is able to make the same movement without difficulty. But keep practicing - it will get easier! :)

You can add subtitles to the video so that it is correctly translated into another language, because auto-generation of English and then translation into another language is so-so. But, this is at your discretion.

R is a vowel

Hi @ninjahound27 - It depends on who you ask :) The way it is articulated is similar to a vowel, and it sometimes function as a vowel in a word (in an R-colored vowel), but by definition, R is a consonant. :)
