How to trill your "R" properly - 5 MISTAKES MOST PEOPLE MAKE - Lesson 10

[@Sylvanas173]

This is GOLDEN! I have been trying to pronounce this type of R for about 10 years, went through every resource and video out there, bought books, all for nothing. This is the first time I have pronounced it correctly. I cannot thank you enough! Your video should be the go-to resource to learn this sound, but sadly I can only give it one like.

[@Arabic101]

Glad it helped! Thank you very much for your kind words.

[@jacobwerner6343]

why do I see these comments under every single video on the trilled r lol

[@mohamedaamir4703]

@@jacobwerner6343 because they tried as hard as possible for a very long period to pronounce this. This feeling is only understood by one who at first cannot able to pronounce this sound.

[@RudydeGroot]

Actually, the Dutch rolling / trilling 'r' is not the standard anymore. The Dutch in the western part of the Netherlands (and students) pronounce the 'r' as something that's hardly recognisable as an 'r' anymore. Listen to 'kinderen voor Kinderen 6 - Ochtendhumeur' here on you tube. Some Dutch find this regional 'slang' snooty. In Limburg (regional dialect) they also don't use a rolling 'r' but one that sounds German. (The Germans use a trilling 'r' but most of the time the 'r' somehow fades as for example 'mutter' which is comparable with the English 'mother'. The 'r' is actually not pronounced: Mothae'.) Example of the language in Limburg is on 'jippe vertelt - Limburgs dialect'.

[@yxsmin.youtube1413]

I have been trying to learn how to pronounce the “r” in the right way for almost 2 and a half years now, and through this video i finally made it. For anyone who is struggling, i can suggest try putting the tongue more in the center rather then putting it right at the top of your mouth. I am so happy, bless all of you!

[@Ibrahim_chan]

Tips from my learning experience : STEP 1: First place your tongue completely touching the 'alveolar ridge' and back of the teeth then try to pronounce the sound "zzz..." With vibration like immitating the buzzing sound of bee. (This step is to make your tongue edge relaxed and feel the vibration which helps to flapping the tongue) STEP 2: After that immediately place only your tip of your tongue with flat tongue then try to flap the tip of the tongue only and make the sound "trrrr" like immitating roaring bike engine which helps to flap your edge of the tongue. STEP 3: If you getting used to flapping the edge of your tongue , then proceed to make ' رَ' sound which is slightly similar when you pronounce the word 'Draw". From there try to perfect the ' رَ'sound. Hope it helps! In shaa Allah :)

[@azatsudrazat762]

As a Bangladeshi, i think it's quite easier for me to pronounce the letter "ر" because in bangla, we have 3 different letters to pronounce "R". One is like the arabic ر, another is more like the english R. The video was helpful tho, now i can differentiate quite much, alhamdu lillah, jazaakallah khayran

So I’ve been able to teach myself how to do the trill, the trouble I’m having is incorporating it into the words. It’s like my tongue goes tense. But the tip you gave of keeping the back of your tongue stiff to support the relaxed tip is definitely helping I think. Just gotta keep practicing.

Despite the fact that this sound is present in my native language, I never managed to produce it. Heck, I've learned those arabic pharyngeals relatively easily, but this alveolar trill is beyond me.

[@alexanderzerka8477]

I can make a trilled r-sound with my tongue flat on the bottom of my mouth, and I can move my tongue around and make pretty much any sound that requires the tongue to move, including putting the tip of my tongue against the ridge, which changes the sound, but it's never the tip of my tongue that's vibrating, and people say I'm doing it wrong. I'm feeling pretty helpless.

[@vikgetman2180]

yea the R isn’t gonna be proper. when you make R sound with your tongue flat down then you’re pronouncing it with your throat.

[@ahlal-quran7127]

السلام عليكم May Allah reward you and increase you in your knowledge. I hope you accept this critique. The Arabic “ر” does not flap with air. Every Tajweed rule tells you what to do, expect one rule called “تكرير” which specifically tells you not to “roll” or “flap” the ر. Also in your ads you have women who are half naked working out. It would be best if you changed these ads. جزاك الله خيرا.

Wa alikom asslam brother/ sister, Please let me know which ad that is so that I can block it. Thanks for your feedback. You cannot pronounce ر without تكرير .. simply because flapping is an inherent, indispensable property of the Arabic ر. Saying you should pronounce ر without flapping is like saying you should pronounce the م without letting your lips touch!! Exaggerating in تكرير however is wrong.

Further on the slide he was showing: التكرير هو ارتعاد اللسان بالراء ارتعادا خفيفا ، و ليحذر القارئ من المبالغة في التكرير Which translates: takreer is the flapping of the tongue when pronouncing the raa, and the reciter should be careful not to exaggerate in flapping the tongue.

[@welfare_lab5360]

And the sound when flapping seems a bit like a "trr" rather than a "r". It's difficult for me to use it in a word.

[@Arabic101]

This is actually a Great start!!! This IS how you should learn it. Gradually. Once you have the "trrr" hold onto that and start practicing words from your mother tongue that have this combination. Example, say "TRRRee" , "TRRRAIN" and so on, till you feel you got hold of this combination. and step by step, you'll be able to separate them from one another. Never forget that you tongue is a muscle. When you go to the gym, are you going for that 100 lbs dumbbell first thing? Of course not. you should train that muscle step by step.

Take perro. Where is my tongue for the p? If I say just p, the tip is downward. So, then, after the p, does the tongue tip immediately flip to the the alveolar ridge? For rr, is my tongue tip already at the ridge for the initial very beginning vowel sound of rr? Don't you have to have some "plosive" of air to initiate the tongue vibration? How do I generate the air column needed to vibrate the tongue for rr? There's no plosive. Is it a vowel grunt? Upside down e? How many times does the tongue tip vibrate against the ridge for each rr sound? I remember my old Spanish teacher in HS back in late 50's rolling an rr sound for about 15 seconds, just for a demonstration. My 84 year old brother can make his tongue sound like a tommy gun, dit, dit, dit, dit very fast. So can my ex-wife. I can make dit,dit, dit, but not fast and my tongue has to do it. Not an air column, if you know what I mean. I've been trying on and off for a year or more. Seems to be getting better, but I'm still not sure I'm on the right track.

Hello your video was brilliant about pronouncing arabic raa but i still can't trill my r whilst my tongue is touching the gums , for some reason I can only trill from my throat and i was wondering if you could help

[@Arabic101]

Pronouncing R from the throat will be like the French, Dutch or German /r/ .. that's a completely different sound, and it is one that is not used in Arabic at all. Your tip of the tongue should not actually be pressing, but rather loosely touching the alveolar ridge, so that air can push the tongue and pass through, creating the flapping and this the sound.
