How to Ř in Czech

[@MrEDET]

Really appreciate the ' it doesn't matter' introduction. Great teaching :)

[@mikewellwood1412]

"To Ř is human; to forgive, divine..." ;-)

[@emilsevcik5042]

This is golden! Than you very much! And as a latin american just arriving, you have clarified a LOT. (plus, you spanish R is on point, so kudos for that!)

[@laurenced.127]

Oh my god! I've been struggling with that sound for over a year now. You're magical

[@CzechforGary]

French makes the facial muscles over-tensed, so try to RELAX them into Czech. Having French as a mother tongue does not help, but this makes the learning process all the more interesting and challenging. Hodně hodně štěstí!!!!!

[@1rsalc]

Paní profesorko, vaše vysvětlení a metody byly velmi dobré a užitečné... a Neklanovy také, a vtipné: Karate kid. :-)

[@renatoguedesf]

The best video I found on this subject. The don't worry too much part was amazing. The only one I found that covers both Rs, the classical one and that whipered one that appears in the end of syllabes.

[@liredelivre563]

Finally someone who explains the mechanic with the position of the tongue ! Thank you, really really thank you !

[@rox8888]

Děkuji moc! Trying to pronounce ř is quite a challenge 😅 Greetings from Canada

[@Adriel_HD]

rox8888 BRO im also learning

[@edwinhidalgo1242]

In Spanish we have a similar sibilant R, only in some highland dialects: Rioja in Spain, the Andes highlands of Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. In Chile it is very strong. TRI sounds the same in Czech 3 and in Andean trípode (tripod).

[@CzechforGary]

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this knowledge!!!

Thx , I have been trying to practice the Ř sound for about a year now & I finally did it ! Děkuji mnohokrát !

[@CzechforGary]

Very good news! Thanks for the feedback and keep practicing :-)

[@ramonek9109]

I am German, so we do not trill the r. For me the czech r is much more difficult then the ř because the simultanous zh sound somewhat hides that I canot do the trill, which is immediately obvious when I pronounce the plain r. So czech people congratulate me on my pronunciation of ř but giggle when I pronounce r because I račkuju so much.

[@HardikSinghkokliyal-h1d]

Thank you maam I am from India your videos always help me a lot Dekuji

[@jihanelaksir2889]

Thank you so much ! XD Karate kid is really a nice trick to never forget it

[@redhollow360fugoo4]

Ahhhh god , how to whisper a full “rrrrrrr” love sentence in your bf’s ear without anyone noticing

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

Děkuji mnohokrát 🌹🌷🌺

[@chaseriver9765]

Thanks for this! Interesting and helpful... Being 50% Czech, I wonder if the ability to properly speak this sound is partially genetic, based on facial bone structure and musculature, as well as exposure to it as a child... although I only know a few Czech words and phrases. I seem to have no problem with producing this sound (I'm not bragging here at all... it's just an observation and hypothesis). PS. Notice my last name.... (an English translation of the Czech original!).

[@CzechforGary]

Řeka! Hon Řeka? if we translated both... would you like it? And interesting theory, yet some Czech cannot pronounce ř and have to be reeducated.

[@Emanaa971]

No issues for arab.. I really like to say and repeat it 😍😍

[@Neuroneos]

Amazing quirky and useful channel... just subscribed! -A new french-speaking viewer

[@silnymuz6670]

Your a great teacher. thanks 😎👍

[@Jobjoossen]

You are hylariouse, karate kid, Ř I got a really nice idea foir a t-shirt for my next visit to Pragh big fat Ř en then underneath it, I know, im working on it Apreciate your lessons

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Dobrý den. I like the word " dobře ". It means good? Your channel and lesson is very good. Thank you.

[@edwinhidalgo1242]

In Spanish doble is double, so we feel Slavs are giving us a double greeting

[@Pidalin]

dobře is more like well in English, it's adverb

[@rubinrubin8892]

Ahoj !!! Spelling ROZMĚNIT helps a lots😊😊 try it people Best wishes from Nepal 😊😊

[@garystannard7044]

Wu......th......eringly brilliant!!!!! 😉

[@taurondur]

For me it"s easy..i"m from Slovenia! Anyway, i can understand about 50% of Czech without even learning..

[@aldolammel]

Hahahaha (9:38) hat's rear is wrote in Brazilian Portuguese "Dřevo" (Madeira) with ř letter. See? Everything make sense.

[@CzechforGary]

How do you know it's in Brazilian Portuguese? He purchased the cap in Madeira ;-)

[@mondrian_]

Děkuju! Funnily I've got more problems with the rolled r than with the ř. It's like I only can roll it once like "r" but not like you did "rrrrr". Is your tounge while saying this keep tipping against your upper mouth-part?

[@CzechforGary]

Yes, the tongue is half tipping, half vibrating as a little leaf in the autumnal wind. It should not get dry though - have a glass (of water) nearby before you start practicing.

[@mondrian_]

Thank you for your anwser! I will defenitely keep that in mind :)

[@kathymallin7247]

The first method works best for me but it is still not exactly right when I say it. One word I always have a problem with is the town Břeclav. The ř followed by the B is difficult to say for me.

[@CzechforGary]

You could start with “Řeclav”, than B…řeclav, marking a pause between B and ř, and after a while only, Břeclav. You will get there!!! Practice makes perfect 🥳

[@samaval9920]

Polish & Mandarin aChinese have similar consonants.

[@ronalbars]

2:15 LOL I'M CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 THAT WAS SO FUNNY

[@ROHITKINGC]

In Russian it would be Р-Ж and in English R-Zh (Zh like in pleasure or measure).

[@Ano-mf8zc]

thank you

[@nero7469]

oof I pronounced Dobrý Den the Russian way

[@phoenix0328GI]

Thank you Gary! This is something we need to learn

Dobrý den I like the Czech language and I wanna ask u if u know anything about scholarships in universitys in Czech Note: iam form Syria😅

[@MarcErra84]

It's like some kind of... alveolar english "shhh"?

[@CzechforGary]

It happens at the tip of the tongue.

[@jesuscardenatorres8624]

MUY BUENO, PERO DEBE MEJORAR EL SONIDO AMBIENTAL, HAY MUCHO RUIDO EN EL FONDO Y NO PERMITE ESCUCHAR MUY BIEN COMO SE PRONUNCIA.

[@lidiarapp7232]

да, эта р сложнее французской

[@michaelsmith1262]

I could not get this right. I had studied Spanish in high school and couldn't get that right either. I think it's just a physical impossibility for some people. And it's very hard to differentiate between r with a hacek and the z with a hacek, especially if it comes at the beginning of a word.

[@thomasschulz8477]

I can roll my Rs but not correctly tap them. I think I just need to practice tho.

[@CzechforGary]

I believe this is a subject for a pronunciation video. Žena and Řeka definitely sound different, like velvet and starched linen on a bare skin. Try to copy paste these words into a google translator and click on the megaphone repeatedly. You will hear the difference!

[@salmonttasik5979]

One of difficult pronounce
