The “French R” (uvular fricative) is consistently used by native speakers from The Hague.

Thank you for such a great video. That makes those sounds really clear! You are the best Dutch teacher on KZbin.

[@spa97229]

What an excellent teacher! I'm glad I found you on KZbin. Can't believe how well you speak English and how well you explain everything. Dutch is a hobby of mine having lived in Den Haag for 3 years (long long ago). Thank you and keep it up

I am Swedish, that is a big advantage. I can say all the R's In Sweden we actually use all the R's. However, we don't use the back of the tongue, but it sounds the same.

That's the video I was looking for! Very clear and helpful ^^ Dank je wel! :D

[@karina7014]

I was born missing some of the muscles at the back of my mouth so I'll never be able to roll my r's :(

[@lilbangtan2957]

Hi! I just started learning dutch, Spanish is my mother language but it's still difficult for me to pronounce the R properly hahaha thanks for your help!

[@herbertdarick7693]

I am a Dutchman and I haven't been being able to pronounce the tongue r for all the time I have been living in the Czech Republic. It's a real handicap, because it's a necessity in Czech. Nout, your Dutch pronunciation of the r is how I do it and it sounds perfect! No worries!

[@seriouslywondering4]

Dankjewel! I just started to learn Dutch and I think the R is so pretty but I've heard it so many different ways in DUtch so I needed to be sure LOL
