This has been the most helpful video so far for the French Rs.
Yayyyyyy !!! So happy I could help you with this video 😊
I agree😍
i just said this to myself haha!
Agreed. The most difficult pronunciation in French
totally agreed!
Took almost seven years of french here in the U.S. and no one ever told me about feeling it in your neck. Thanks so much!
I still can't do it. Sounds like you need a lot of saliva. My sound just comes out dry
@Sky The Potato let me know how it works out. I've seen some videos and they say something different. I think I'm a little bit better at it now though
@@JohnSmith-pg9ns i have heaps of saliva and it gets stuck at the back of my throat
@@JohnSmith-pg9ns Yeah it's actually nothing to do with saliva, the whole gargling with water thing will in fact lead you astray. I actually learnt to do it with saliva and then later discovered that was wrong and had to relearn it. It's a vibration of the tongue at the back...like the tip of the tongue for Spanish but reversed. If you think about it, if you had to do it with saliva then with a slightly dry mouth you wouldn't be able to speak French, so clearly that's not how it's done. I can do it with a completely dry mouth.
Knowing that it has three different sounds depending on the position was super duper useful. Thank you!
You have no idea how blessed you are! I’ve been trying to work on this sound, and once you started this video establishing that there are different sounds for /r/, I KNEW you were LEGIT! Thanks so much. God bless
Her smile alone pushed me to continue learning it 🥺
Omg....finally...I can pronounce the French 'r'.
Yasss !! I am so happy the lesson helped 🎉🎉🎊🥳
Bonjour I like your TH-cam channel name makenamalkia@kijaniridgeschool.sc.ke help you shout out my name I am from runda
I like your channel name makenamalkia@kijaniridgeschool.sc. from Rwanda 👍♥️♥️❤️💖💗💘💜
Im just starting out and the R is my biggest obstacle so far.. ty for sharing this!
Je ne connaissais pas l’expression « TY for sharing ». Pour moi, c’était « thanks for sharing » …(mais apparemment, les deux sont possibles… 🤔)
PS : comme vous pouvez le constater, je suis française
You're good. It's difficult but l'm getting there gradually
this is the best explanation of the R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very helpful to know that it has 3 different sounds!!!! thanks!
Shes honestly the bestttt
This was really helpful. Thanks!
She's the only one that explained the different 'r's! So now I understand I have major trouble with r at the start. But in the middle and end is OK except for practice. Thank you
Best explanation of how to pronounce a French r I have heard or found anywhere!. Most non-French French teachers and at least some French ones teach the r as pronoounced at the beginning of a word, tell us to drop r at the end of a word, and that's all. Yet anyone with functioning ears can hear that thethree different sounds, and I found immediately that I can't prounounce an r after a consonant in the same was as the r at the beginning followed by a vowel.Yet, no teacher I had would acknowledge that it was different. Thank you so much for clarifying this. It's so simple, as you explain it. Even though I can't pronounce any French r perfectly yet, you have shown us how to get it right! Merci beaucoup!
This is the only channel that's distinguished between the three. Thank you!
So helpful at explaining where the sounds come from!! Thank you :)
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful!
Such a great video! Thank you for this work!
This was lovely. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this letter easier for us!
The water technique is genius. The entire video was helpful. Mercu beaucoup!!
I was wondering about French "R", and here you are explaining them to me. Thank you/ Merci.
This is so helpful, your lesson helps me a lot. Thank you so much!
These tips are super helpful - thank you!
This is helpful !! Thanks for teaching in the cutest way
Infomative, stimulating, ADORABLE (prononcé à la française)
Very helpful. Much better than most!
This was very helpful!
This has been so helpful! Thank you.
You're amazing teacher Pearl 😍
Thank-you so much Pearl! This is the first time I actually sound French !
I am lucky to be French by birth...You should know that French is hard for us to learn. We go through 5 grade levels (5 years) in primary school to learn conjugation and grammar. We spend 5 years learning French in primary school, not counting kindergarten (3 years). Then middle school (4 years) during which we continue to learn conjugation and grammar.
So be patient and listen to the advice of this charming young lady. You will get there with a lot of practice. You should know that English is not easy to learn for French speakers either.
The sound "r" does not exist in English so be patient and practise, practise, practise again and again !
Great advice. ❤ thank you because I'm black American and I get so frustrated with myself. 😅 in my mind natives come out the womb perfect french speakers 😅so thank you for giving me a realistic view of becoming fluent.
Thank you! Very helpful
It's really good video for myself. Tks
Very helpful. Merci.
Wow, very helpful! Merci beaucoup, Pearl. You're a great teacher!
Many thanks teacher very much appreciated!!!!!
OMGGG I watched 3 videos on French r's and felt more confident but would still get stuck so often- this vid is perfff. By far the best
Merci Pearl 🙌 Very useful video!
Very useful video.Merci beaucoup
Thank you so much for this
Thank you. So helpful!
Very helpful video, thank you
CRYSTAL CLEAR AND SMOOTH.PERFECT! .THANKS
I love your teaching style!
This was so helpful, I have never really realised the difference between the three and wondered why every time I pronounced an /r/ at the end of a word it felt like it messed up the sense of whether the /r/ was at the end of one word or the beginning of the next. Now I see why! I was using the first /r/ for everything. Thank you!
C'était formidable. J'essaie d'apprendre le son français R depuis des années. Votre vidéo m'a beaucoup aidé. Merci Madame.
This video was very helpful, thank you! Because I'm English so these difficult pronunciations are very difficult. I was drinking water before you even recommended it and I was shocked at how much better I was pronouncing these words after drinking - it isn't something I realised until now. This video was so helpful!
wonderful explaination it is the first time I discover this thanks so much
You are an awesome teacher
