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

[radishfox]

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.

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

[lindaabdelsayed]

I so appreciate your videos! Thank you.

[Timkleahm]

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

[maferi]

Great ideas! I will be using them in therapy.

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.

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

[seanjones]

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.]

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

[ahmed]

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

[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

[carlyshearer]

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

[elsieglue]

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

[jhoanadejesus]

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

[laptopdroptop]

I wish I would of solved this problem as a kid now as a adult i feel like a jackass

[keirapalumbo]

[Hawazinzworld]
