I know it's kind of an old video but if someone is seeing this and struggle with it : If you listen closely, not every French native speaker have the same "R" pronunciation. We all have a different one that just works. Don't be shy in finding your own, use the back of your throat and that'll be awesome. (Just smooch it and act natural you'll see noone will even bulge and notice that much ;))

I understood a word I'll never forget, la gorge.

I agree with 1:35. I swear two weeks ago, a young Parisian guy I met here in the US told me my French 'R' pronunciation is perfect.No one had told me that before . I was actually asking him 'Tu viens de quelle part de France' trying to use my normal, non French accent while practicing what I remembered. I felt good that my secondary school French was useful.

Simple words like "orange" become a word of love when you pronounce it in French. I love it.

the way I learned it, hold a pencil between your teeth (longways, _not_ so it's pointed down your throat) as far back as you can hold it. The pencil keeps your tongue in the right position. Then try to growl like a tiger. Like this you can approximate the action of making the sound. Next step is to remember the feeling of doing it and practice the sound without a pencil in your mouth. Then keep practicing forever.

I probably just learned more french from this video than in the entire year I took it in high school. Immersion is the best way!

5:38 how can you even make that sound?!?! 😂😂😂

Judith always attracts the comedians on the streets. The "jouer à touche-pipi" answer was also her as the interviewer in the "Compare French and German" episode.

J'avais de la chance, parce que je parle déjà l'allemand, dont le son "R" est presque le même en principe, mais cela demande des efforts quand même. J'ai regardé de nombreuses vidéos (souvent à demi-vitesse) pour analyser la pronunciation (non seulement pour le "r" mais en général aussi) et après, je m'enregistrais moi-même pour me comparer avec l'original. Mais j'ai encore un peu mon accent. :))

[auriane]

Je suis la seule française qui fait des rrr devant cette vidéo ?

[smellyflannel]

I just use the Quebec French “r” which sounds trilled like in Spanish or Italian. Much easier on the throat without wanting to vomit or spit out a hair ball.

[superrmrcool]

This episode was absolutely hilarious😂😂

[TicoNicaX]

I pronounce my French and Portuguese "R" as the "J" in Castilian Spanish. It works!
