  • In this video, you’ll learn how to roll your Russian Rs.
    Despite most people and even sources habitually refer to the Russian rolling Rs in a singular number, in Russian we have not 1 but 2 rolling Rs. Both rolling Rs are full-fledged sounds commonly used by Russian native speakers all the time.
    In this video, I’ll teach you how to roll your Russian rolling Rs (both of them), explain how to pronounce them, and when to pronounce one or another.
    Also, like most of my videos, this video comes with a PDF handout with images, diagrams, and exercises to solidify the fresh knowledge.

    Man as a Dutch speaker with a gutteral r. This letter P is probably the hardest of all letters I have ever learned to pronounce. Thank you for going so phonologically in depth

    I'm an american and attempting to learn russain. I tried and tried and one day after trying a lot it happened. So I suppose this video is for me because I now know how to roll Rs. The beginners video helped alot and the diagram is the best I've seen so far.

      @@SpaceotterwithaMustache Oh trust me you can. English, I hope this makes sense, is more spoken with the voice box vs Russian. You use your mouth more with Russian. One thing you have to learn is use your diaphragm more. I found that it speaking Russian requires more airflow, like with rolling R's, in conjunction with proper tongue placement. Also, just like English, tongue placement matters a lot; it's just different.

    Actually, I never did roll my r’s much until I started learning and speaking Russian. Many times it just happens naturally as I speak the word, and sometimes-not.

    10:12: I never knew that there is a slight difference between Russian rolling r (at least the hard r) and the Spanish rolling r.
    I can roll the r properly; I learned that when I was 14 years old (I only do that in foreign languages where it is required, like Esperanto, Spanish and Russian, but it's not required (although it is allowed) in my native tongue Dutch). I have studied Spanish a long while ago. There are two types of rolling r's in Spanish, but they are different from the two types of rolling r's in Russian, like explained before in this video.
    There is a very strong long rolling r [rː] in Spanish, which is pronounced after a consonant, at the beginning of a word, and when it is spelled with rr. In dictionaries the rr is a single letter, not just two letters r, and it is sorted after r. The other r is a very light r [ɾ], and sounds almost like a d. In American English (not in British English) the t is often pronounced that way, especially between two pronounced vowels.
    I always pronounced "рь", soft r, almost as a d. It is a bit difficult sound to make. I try to pronounce a [j] (not a clear [j]) after it. The hard r (p) in Russian is easy for me. I also tend to devoice the р and рь at the eind of a word or before a voiceless consonant. I don't know whether that is correct.

    Крутой видос! Я, вроде бы, до пяти лет Р не мог произнести.
    Помню как первый раз удалось когда я ковырялся с пачкой каких-то открыток на упаковке которых было какое-то коммунистическое изображение с Лениным. 😄

    I’m assuming that you’re talking about Lenin tongue in cheek? No, Russian could possibly believe that Lennin was a good man.

  • @phillipferrell4067
    @phillipferrell4067 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The simple truth of the matter is, I don't have teeth. Something to do with how and where I grew up, maybe? Anyhew, the soft sign Ь and the hard sign ъ. Hmm. In all of the Russian language that I've read, while I see the soft sign ь used in lots of words, I never see the hard sign ъ actually printed, so does that mean the hard sound is to be understood in the absence of the soft sign? For instance, the rolled р in the words "Привет" and...and...and, lol. Hm...that's interesting. I can't seem to find a Russian word with a rolled р that's followed by the soft ь sign. Oh, well. I'm sure there's one somewhere. Isn't there? Hm. Mystereeeee he he he he he he heeeeeeee!!!

      do a th and then bring your tongue back to thw top of the mouth

  • @jolevangelista
    @jolevangelista 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Still the key component is missed in this video. Russian R is typical not harsh and very soft. You barely touch your mouth with your tongue. Very briefly. Unless you want to stress something or is angry about something. If you do it right your speech will be natural and flowy. If it is harsh all the way - you will sound like foreigner trying hard.
