"Oh my god, Umlauts are hard"
R : "allow me to introduce myself"

[zoraida]

when i try to pronounce the schwere R, i sound like i am dying...

[Anastasia___.]

OH MY GOD I FINALLY GOT IT!!! I still can't pronounce it every time I want to, but at least sometimes it's there!
Thank you so much!
And yeah, it's 2am, student dormitory and I'm learning German pronunciation... I think my neighbors love me ♡
:D

Phew! Never knew until today that, German 'R' is the efficient way of clearing the throat.

I just LOVE Ania when she says her usual "Jaaa??" haha so cute :)

4:23 "put your tongue a little bit back..." that's all I needed. I did it! Vielen Dank :D

I burst into laughters when, for the first time in my life, I was able to pronounce the R in German. Your tips work really well for me, a Chinese living in England. Both Chinese and English don't have this sound. After watching your video, I found it is not very difficult at all. Thanks, nice one.

For slavic languages natives this german "R" sounds like a speech impairment or defect. =)

I was studying arabic a few months back and there was this one letter I couldn't pronounce no matter what and here I am trying to pronounce that sound in German. Man ...

[pn]

I DID IT, finanlly. Thank you so much Can't believe what's happening. I texted everyone " I achieved the agressive "r" "

For everyone who has problems with the german R sound: I have some good news for you! Besides the "easy R" presented in this video, where the "-er" at the end of a word sounds similar to "a", there are actually three ways you can pronounce the R in german.
If you're familiar with the IPA, it's [r] (the one she explained in the video), [R] (that sounds really similar to [r], I think) and [​ʁ]. It doesn't matter which sound you use, there is no difference in the meaning. So you're good either way!
The r sound she did here is typically used in southern Germany, but the rest of us usually use the [ʁ] sound, wich is easier to pronounce, since it's not a trill (I hope this is the right english translation...) but a frikativ. Basically, it's like a lazy version where you don't go that deep in the throat when you pronounce it... That's the best way I can discribe it ^^'

This is the first time I feel lucky to be an Arab person. Very easy and thanks a lot 🙏🙏

[alb]

I absolutely love how ridiculously silly you are! It really gets me involved even though I'm 44 years old and I should be able to do that anyway! Lol. You're fantastic teacher and I've enjoyed watching you over the years and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for the future! Thank you so much for all of your help and your fantastic tutorials!

[Lukas-Kaiser-LK]

I was trying to do that for years. I took German classes from 5 different teacher, watched tons of explanation videos for "R". And finally I can do it thanks to you! Your tongue position explanation is the best. Danke Schön!

[Cerezo.lindsey]

Thank you Anja!!! As an American who's been trying to improve their German accent, the difficult "R" has always been my Achilles heal.

[marcodelcarro]

I’ m Italian, I’m 16 and I go in the third year of high school. On September I started to study German at school and I can’t pronounce the letter R, but with your video now I can do it a little better… Danke!!!

[kevinsebastiancadenarojas]

Im honestly thankful for this video. What you do switching between languages is cool because I can learn common phrases and not only grammar.

[andreasimone]

My mother tongue is Spanish and, I don't know why, but I could pronounce the English, Russian, French, German and Icelandic "R" at the first try without problem, my best wishes for those trying! Keep practicing and know that you can do it, that's key :)

[pedroakjr]

It's so nice to learn german with you

[nataliaallie]

I'm here 4 years later and i find this video so helpful! Danke!!
