@GloriamMonarchia4 жыл бұрын
It's difficult for those who do not know how to imitate sound. I was often assessed as having great or perfect French pronounciation (on my DELF exam I got the highest marking on the spoken test, after the reading one), but I don't know how to express myself, or write - yet; on those my marks were much lower. It is just an inborn ability to hear & reproduce certain sounds. French is a very musical language too. They can just speak and it sounds like they're singing.

I took French in high school back in the late 70s, and my French teacher was amazing. She explained that to properly pronounce the “r” is to pretend you are gargling but with no water, but to make the sound very softly and subtly, and not the harsh sound, same as what you were explaining in this video. That helped me tremendously and afterwards I had the pronunciation down pat.
@juch34 жыл бұрын
Basically the french R (uvular fricative) is like gargling but with a dry throat. If your uvula is too wet and vibrates to much then it may turn into the german R instead (uvular trill).

Well The French R sound is very common in European Portuguese. The Portugeuse "initial R" and "RR" are pronounced like the French R. Example: ronaldo, torre But most people in the north pronounce them like the Spanish R and RR (respectively). In Brazilian Portuguese, they sound exactly like English H.

This isn't the problem I end up having. My problem is that the French "r" is actually multiple sounds in different environments, but while I can do a light uvular fricative at the start of a syllable, if it's final and requires me to move to a consonant, it gets hard: "parler" is a surprisingly difficult word in French, and has an awkward hiatus between the syllables.

The trilled R on the tip of the tongue is more prevalent in European, East Asian and South Asian languages. The guttural R as a gh/h sound at the back of the throat shows up in West Asian and some European languages like French and German. If you grew up speaking American English with a mid-tongue R, it's really hard to get both Spanish and French R sounds correct. I think Arabic is one of the few languages that has both trilled R and R/Gh sounds.

Another approach to pronouncing the sound R is to begin with the sound G, which is made by raising the tongue to the roof of the mouth and then building up air pressing blocked by the tongue and finally pulling the tongue down releasing the built-up air. Similar to what you said, then don’t block the ai flow entirely but leave a narrow space between the tongue and the roof of your mouth. That is the R sound. Practice with French words that begin with G followed by R: gros, grand, gras, etc.

I sounded like I was coughing while whispering and making the lightest R sound. I could NOT breathe

Correct me if I am wrong but some regions of France have the very thick guttural 'R' mainly rural areas. Paris is quite subtle but the language as a whole is trending toward a more subtle 'R'.

In Romanian we make the rolling r where you place your tongue behind your upper front teeth, not the lower front teeth. This is the first time in my life that I realize what's the difference between the French r and the Romanian r.

Maybe noone is watching, but my mom heard me! She told me to go get a drink to clear my throat! LoL... I have my ear buds in. She didn't know I was listening to anything. So, it's 3a.m & I'll probably be getting tested for Covid tomorrow😂🤣

Frickin best video ever! I had a friend of mine try to explain to me for days, telling me to just "make the sound" but I couldn't because I didn't know what to do with my mouth. Comparing this to the H sound is extremely helpful, as if I don't get it right it still sounds understandable.
