Hard Words #6 froid
Don't make the mistake that many Anglo-American speakers make with this word. If you don't get the French r in there, you could be saying “liver” instead of “cold”! Of course, it is that troublesome r that trips up the non-French speaker. People often say that the French r is harsh or guttural or “like gargling”, but no. It is actually the softest of the French consonants. This video gives a little introduction on how to pronounce it, but my video course, Mastering French Pronunciation goes into a lot more detail and gives helpful hints on how to say this sound.

I'm a huge advocate of the benefits of studying phonetics to improve language ability, even in native tongues. Thank you so much for taking on the role you have. I will be buying your program!

It is an R wherein the uvula is the point of articulation. You don't mention this.
