i've always been that shy kid who had gotten rhoticism and never could pronounce the r sound but thanks to you now i can talk to my friends without having a problem thx so much!
I owe Keenyn my sincere thanks. I feel my ears are better trained now. This is exactly, the perfect channel for me. Like most professionals, I'm looking to improve my accent.
Dear Keenyn, you said, "...except for one different" (2:04). I was taught that "except one different" is sufficient. Which is correct? Please advise. Best, Albert from SF
You are my inspiration.❤❤❤. you are unique and your video is very nice. Unfortunately I am watching your videos to late.. Dear sister I want more videos from you soon.
for the first time I liked a video before I watch it all , It happened due to the amazing way of teaching by our own teacher keenyn, thank you for helping us and please keep doing so
my english pronunciation is terrible today april 3rd i started watching your videos in 3 months i will tell you how my english has improved. thanks for your videos
I know I’m late but: first, your pronunciation is awesome and you explain that very well. Just two things to consider on a linguistic (/nerd 🤓) level: For non-native English speakers who use IPA and most linguists (at least those who work with different languages), /r/ is not an American r. That’s the rolled r, e.g. in Spanish. The American/English internationally is known as /ɹ/ which can also turn into a /ɻ/. And: the sound is ONLY an /ɹ/. The /ɜɹ/ and /əɹ/ combinations do exist but so do other combos with vowels (e.g. /ɔɹ/ as in "bored“) and it’s two distinguished sounds. The reason why words like bird might seem like it’s *bɹd is because in American English, most people, like you, actually pronounce it /bɝd/ (the r is more of a timbre of the /ɜ/ than an individual sound). Depending on the region the sounds might be more separated but a true /bɜɹd/ is rare. This intertwining is a /ɜ/ phenomenon, though, because the sounds are formed similarly. You wouldn’t say *bɔəɹd or *bɔɜɹd. If you formed a true *bɹd, it would sound rather strange to you (or like you’re really tired/drunk), more so for words like perhaps. When English learners have no issue pronouncing the r, this can actually be the real struggle: using too little vowel or skipping it all together. So every individual is just right but it still sounds not-native because the balance is off.
Thank you yassin abdelrhman! 😊 YES- a very big difference between the way these two varieties of English approach the R. R is very prominent in American English!
Thanks a lot for this great video! I am German and in the eleventh class, so there are 2 more years to go for my high school graduation :D My English may not be perfect, but in comparison to the majority of my classmates, it is extraordinary. However, my pronunciation is terrible and I am always embarrassed speaking English because my classmates are better in speaking, even though my generel English knowledge is better than theirs. But your Videos really help me pronounce the american r better, now I can make the sound quite easily, I just have to practice speaking it freely in full sentences☺
Hi from France. Thank you so much for your lessons especially about the R. I was so frustrated not to be able to pronounce it when visiting my family in the US. Now I understand what to do!!
I hear sort of a rough and a creaking sound , somehow different from the R at the beginning of a word. Like a muscle being contracted in the back of throat. awesome video!
This is absolutely the video that I've been looking for. This "r" sound of American English whether it's at the beginning of the word or at the end of it... God, I just love it! And I love speaking English with American accent. You know what? I have never seen anyone explain how to really master American accent. I mean yeah, there are lots of accent videos on youtube that people make but the way you do it is just so clear and full of examples. I am learning a lot from your videos. So I just wanna say thank you so much for doing this.
You are most welcome Sedef -91! 😊 What a wonderful comment- thank you for making me smile this morning! I am so, so glad the lessons are helpful to you! More to come- stay tuned my friend!
Gosh, I have been looking for exactly this kind of content: well explained, organized, fun, not too technical and yet detailed enough to be able to understand. Thank you Keenyn, you have a new subscriber
As a native english speaker with a speech impediment i found this incredibly helpful, especially the differentiation between the stressed and unstressed ER. Does lesson three include OR and AR sounds? They're not always pronounced the same.
I have trouble pronouncing words like pure, peer, deer, fear, mirror, spear, hair, ear and other 1 syllable words that’s end with r. Any tips or videos that you might recommend?
Wow, this is one of the most useful piece of advice - skipping the vowel before "r"! Makes it so much easier! I hate when they just say - don't roll your "r", I am not thAt stupid...
I can't pronounce the r sound which is existing in my native language. But thanks to u i can at least pronounce this sound while speaking english😂😂 thanks a lot Keeny.
Clear English Corner with Keenyn Rhodes Mrs Rhodes I always avoid to say words like “ squirrels, swirls, world, girl, “ because it’s very hard for me, but when I watched this video I started to understand better and I can see a lot of improvement on my pronunciation. Thank you again for taking the time to explain to us.
