Great lesson. I had been struggling with the R sound.

This is really interesting about pronouncing the R sound in the two ways. Personally I think after some time of speaking English on daily basis in my work I more often if not most of the time use the second way. That is when I want to make R sound I just pull back my tongue along with positioning my tip of it towards the top.

I think that way is like more "lazy" or I would say more "relax" way where I don't need to exhale that much amount of air as for the first method. The first way is like more accurate, smoother and the second way which I prefer is like it sounds more harsh, raw and I would say it's like you have a hoarse voice, or when you wake up in the morning you have that voice deeper and more harsh.

Does anybody could relate to that or is it just me thinking there are people who just prefer to speak like that because it feels more relaxed and not being super accurate all the time.

You believe me or not, "R" sound is what I find toughest of all.

The close up pictures and videos are great! That’s really helpful for students. Especially the diagrams where you can see the tongue movements. My exam students often struggle with pronunciation in their speaking exams so I’m sure this video will help them. Of course my accent is slightly different as I’m from the U.K! Happy learning students, watch and practise with this video carefully!

I find other possition working better my native uses r that sounds much alike french r with alot of vibration and tounge is in possition just like as described in first few mins. So i learned second tounge possition and my mentor told me to imagine just like having a bubble gum below the tip of my tounge so i could tilt up the tip of the tounge. And that is how i eliminated vibration from my American R. 😊

Hi Rachel
In the song BAD LIAR, the singer sang the word LIAR. I only heard the ə sound. So where is the r sound in American English?
Can you help me with that?
Thanks in advance.
