Pronunciation of French r is not that hard with a detailed explanation of the tongue, jaw, and lips position. But sometimes it still doesn't help. For these cases, I have a secret trick that works all the time.

  • After looking at the thumbnail, I thought I have to pronounce french R by putting a glass of water in my throat. LOL
  • I think that this girl have just saved thousands of French learners to not give up and continue the learning process. It's just incredible how you teach and what a warm and beautiful energy you put out, thank you very much and best luck for you :) <3

    I like French but I hated speaking it because of my incapability to pronounce R properly. So I almost abandoned learning French altogether. Thanks to you, I finally got pronunciation right. It is incredible how your idea to make this video and a few key pieces of information literally changed my life :D I am so thankful to you :-*

    This was the most successful attempt I've done for R pronunciation. I was struggling since 2016. Thank a million Anastasia ♥

    I'm 72 years old and have been struggling for 50 years to pronounce the French "R" right. I was taught all sorts of things in high school and college... technical stuff about using the uvula, and the "R" being a velar sound. But I was never shown the right way to do it. Until now I had the sound placed in the back of my mouth and it never sounded right... it was passable but it sounded like I was gagging. But in just 10 minutes of watching this video I realized what I was doing wrong and was able to place the sound further down in my throat and then the "trilling" sound came naturally. The gargling exercise is genius! Thank you. 😊 Now I'm ready to sit down at the piano and sing "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" and "La Vie En Rose." 😎
  • We've just tried this water trick in my class and most students are now choking. Thanks! mdr Another way to work towards the R sound is to say kla kla kla and slowly move it to kra. It's hard to type about but it's worked in my experience.

    When I forest tried this, I was concerned that my neighbors were going to think I was possessed. But after a few minutes I got it! Thank you
  • @whatarelilies
    THE TONGUE ON THE BOTTOM TEETH that has been the difference in my consistency! Thank you for teaching me how to speak instead of gargle 😂
  • @7obalmosta7il
    Miracle. I was struggling with R french for four years, and now within just 5 min it's solved. Really like your methode
  • @kenopsiadraws
    My problem with the French R was always that I was too good at trilling, or gargling as you called it. I had to figure out how to make it have the correct sound that the French R has, the kind that’s more harsh. I think I’ve got it, this video has helped me a lot.
  • @DactoarD
    that water technique is genius. thank you!
  • so glad I found you!! thank you for taking the time to make this video. I will be returning to this one, very often!
  • @dmanakell
    Let me tell you, I found it easier to pronounce the R since I started snoring. It was easier to get that back throat vibration fairly well.
  • @amberliu3606
    OMG... first time in my life i can actually produce a stable uvula!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
  • @laurall3768
    Read so many posts and watched videos, especially that one with a pencil in my mouth (only succeeded in making a fool of myself) but your explanations and the way you show how to move your mouth and tongue...that's exactly what I needed! It's not great, but I finally managed to get a decent r sound come out for the first time. Now time to practice till I get it perfect, thank you!!
  • @MsJojo1412
    I went from fine to sore throat by practicing this😂. However, thank you so much❤
