This makes perfect sense. This means that French people can't talk with dry mouth which means they need to kiss every few minutes which makes French a romantic language, as is often called. Now I don't wonder why.

EverythingisEverything: Yes, you are right that, with practice, there's less need to exaggerate the harshness of the French R sound. The exaggeration is a way to learn and to develop muscle memory of the tongue placement that is so different than it is for the R sound in English.

Excellent teaching technique! I've also found this helpful: Say buh, duh, guh, and notice how how the position of your tongue moves back a step between duh and guh. Notice too how you expel your breath to pronounce guh. Now let the back of your tongue take one more step back from guh and expel your breath through that rearmost spot. Voilà! Âne the best place to practice is in front of the bathroom mirror while you're brushing your teeth. Before long, you'll be sounding like Edith Piaf singing, "Non, rien de rien, non je ne regrette rien"!

By far the best explanation of this that I've seen anywhere. One question, though. I can get the sound out but not without pushing a good amount of air going through my throat. I almost have to feel like I'm coughing to get enough air to make the correct sound. Should I be pushing that hard or should I be able to get the sound with the air support comparable to normal speech?
@CuriousTico
9 жыл бұрын
I believe that those are your muscles learning to produce the new sound. Once they get trained, it will be second nature and less air and pressure will occur.

I find that I can do this pretty fine when it's followed by a vowel, but in words where it's followed by a consonant it often seems to become impossible because it just can't flow. And what makes it more confusing is when I listen to native speakers and it sounds more like a rolled spanish r in those cases, which is baffling. In French, do you pronounce the r differently when it's followed by a consonant?
@NetAndyCz
5 жыл бұрын
Seems there are many varieties of French R. Some speakers even use "Spanish" rolling R (alveolar trill) though there is also uvular trill which sounds somewhat similar. I am listening to Audiobook, and I can swear the narrator manages to say R 10 different ways for different characters.

C'est incroyable, toutes les vidéos que font les américains sur la prononciation du "r" français indiquent de mettre la langue vers le bas collé au dents, or, nous les Français ne faisons pas du tout comme ça, en fait nous laissons la langue là où elle se trouve (au pire elle ne sert à rien) puis nous envoyons de l'air dans notre gorge tout en bloquant cet arrivée d'air soudaine, ça peut être très dur pour certains mais c'est comme cela que nous faisons. Amicalement.

Tout a fait d'accord. Ici, le "r" qu'elle lui apprend ressemble plutôt à celui qu'on fait en avec l'accent franc-comtois (chez moi, quoi!) et moins au "r" d'un français plus standard (comme celui pratiqué en télé, radio, etc). Les anglophones ont très souvent du mal avec nos "r" et nos "u".

What happened with "sans effort", my back or base of the tongue moves slightly back and up. It doesn't touch the front teeth it rather pushes slightly against the gums. You can recreate it by pushing your tongue with pencil in and down. My Polish teacher in high school done it few times 50 years ago and it works
@heleneneu2748

StagArmslower: I think what your Polish teacher proposed would be effective in that the main difficulty for speakers of English is not lifting the tongue tip as is done for the R sound in English. A possible problem arises though in trying to speak with a pencil holding your tongue down. ;) (Just kidding!)

so is it literally just a 'k' sound in the throat? im learnin french for class and i know that when my teacher speaks, it's like a weird 'kghgkjhkh' sound. periodically i'd use it but it feels wrong, cause i always think that the french 'r' is somehow gonna have a very very subtle rolling 'r' sound near the middle of the mouth. so if I were to say 'français', i just say something like 'fkhanseh', and not 'fhrkhanseh'? cause if so, i guess it's pretty easy for me cause my family scoffs like this

@@kasakro9829 There are, in fact, changes in the way the R sounds depending on the sounds that precede and follow it. For example, it is harshest when it has a voiceless consonant before or after it ([p, t, k, f] are examples of voiceless consonants), as in près, très, crois, français. It becomes voiced after voiced consonants ([b, d, g, v] are examples of voiced consonants, as in bras, drapeau, gris, vrai. (Try contrasting "cri - gris, frais - vrai to feel the difference between voiceless and voiced consonants.) And it is the softest, least harsh between vowel sounds, as in Paris, héros, américain, oral.
