I'm Japanese. R sound is one of the most difficult sounds for me. Is it difficult for native speakers too??

[@ThePubbub]

My daughter is American-born, twelve years old and still has lots of trouble with it.

[@karenem.1731]

Hello @ExpensiveDancingPoteto. If you are a native Japanese speaker, the /r/ will be difficult for you because it's not a sound in your language repertoire. For the majority of native English speakers, the /r/ sound comes naturally in our sound development. Those who have issue with the sound are often referred to Speech therapy to correct it.

[@radishfox308]

This is awesome. Thank you so much! My son had no trouble with the "final r" [letter, ladder, fever] after seeing your tutorial. I actually just sent him to the bathroom to get a floss pick so we can try the other "r" method.

[@saulcontrerasOfficial]

I don't know why I'm practicing my "r" while watching this; I don't have speech problems. Lol

[@Timkleahm]

this is the best English lesson i have ever come across. why people make difficult something that can be so simple?

[@lindaabdelsayed6251]

I so appreciate your videos! Thank you.

[@maferi7726]

Great ideas! I will be using them in therapy.

I've Been In Speech Therapy For 5 Years And I Still Don't Know How To Say R. I Have The Worst Teacher.

[@clflover]

how would you help say the R sound with other sounds? It is rare that R is pronounced in isolation, it usually combines with a vowel. The resulting sound is very different from the isolated R sound (like -or -ar)... Thank you.

[@PeachieSpeechie]

You're absolutely right! This video just shows some ways to elicit an R in isolation for a student just starting therapy. As soon as I can elicit an accurate R in isolation I like to move to syllables and word level practice. If a child is really struggling with practice in isolation, sometimes starting with syllables can actually be helpful. In fact, the workbook "I Can Say the R Sound" has activities for using coarticulation to to assist in production of vocalic R (or, ire, ar, etc.) in 2-word phrases. I plan to make another video on R in the future to talk more about word, sentence, and connected speech practice!

2:21 aww so cute

[@Eniquafire]

Did the kid use to not know how to Pronounce the "R" Sound ? If he didnt then you taught him well. I was in Speech class for 7 Years and still cant pronounce The "R" by its self or "ER" sound or the "R" in the middle of words like Hard. I can only pronounce R's in the beginning of words. It sounds like hawd when i say it lmao. People still make fun of me for it and im 15

[@theerahaerh5629]

That's her son...

[@nairobyortega6373]

Hey at less you didn’t say can you hump(I meant to say help) to your crush

[@PeachieSpeechie]

Ron, that's my son Brooklyn. He doesn't have any speech or language deficits but he is eager to be in my videos and help model things. Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@akosuagyamfuah5524]

Speech is very fun 💕💕

[@carlyshearer3582]

What kind of facilitation would this be considered? Tactile prompting?

[@PeachieSpeechie]

When I write session notes I call it a tactile cue!

[@ahmed38247]

I can pronounce the r when im talkin with my self but when im talking to people i freak out and all sort of sounds start to come out lmao

[@malouleyva7449]

Wow! This is amazing :)

[@alexm6770]

[@jhoanadejesus4786]

Wow! Wonderful ! I can’t wait to practice on my almost 4 year old !!

[@seanjones2456]

Does anyone know a drill that could be used with this? Like a long sentence that has all these r sounding words in it?

[@txoutlawent.6515]

Thank you so much! This will help my son so much!! ❤

Nice video. These tips are amazing.

[@elsieglue1328]

Hi, this is super useful. Could I ask for an example of when a retroflex /r/ is used? Is it common? I can't think of any words when I make a retroflex /r/! Thanks

[@Hawazinzworld]
