Since I started this video blog a year ago, I’ve received many requests to explain how to pronounce the R sound.
It’s funny, I’ve worked with so many speakers from different countries, and it seems like the R sound is the one sound that gives almost everyone a hard time. Even for those with impeccable R.
Something about this sound that makes people lose confidence and feel unclear.
Well, no more.
In today’s video you’ll get a step by step tutorial on how to pronounce the R sound along with a few “Training wheel” drills that will help you find (and keep) the accurate sound.

Great explanation. I work with a russian singer and I teach her to pronounce my American lyrics and mostly she’s making great progress but the R had me stumped, and her as well. So I think this will really help.
Thanks very much.

Hi Hadar. I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I’m very happy to have found your YouTube Channel.
My name is Rigo Martinez and I currently live in the United States of America and I’ve been learning English by listening and forcing myself to talk to American People.
Even tho my English is ok, I have no knowledge of any kind of grammar or phonetic sounds or other information related to the lenguage.
On January 1st 2019 I decided to take action and I began to gather information that could help me to Improve my English.
I’ll be checking all your videos and I’ll be practicing and working hard to get what I want.
Thank You so much for encouraging us to pursuit our goals but more that anything for reminding us that We shouldn’t give up.
Best wishes.
Rmartinez!
