Thanks for the tips Tom and Rachel! How do you link an [r] to an [r]? As in “you’re right”, because when I round my lips to make the beginning [r] in the second word, it sounds like a [w]: “you’re [w]right”. Thanks again!
I have been trying to learn bunch r for 6 month and have seen a lot of video. by watching many video I had learnt r colored vowels sound by following bunch method. I couldnt produce beginning r . I started to use the technique like sir Tom have shown in this video . but I wasnt sure the technique I use is correct way to build up consonant r sound. after watching this I have cofident increased by sir Tom. many many thanks rachel

He is the perfect actor for Caesar
Dear you need to practice to get American r
im scared of that guy
Thx 👍
But I have a big problem.
I speak with a lisp of letter r
I can not make it clear. I tried hard to show it but at the beginning of the word it seems like /w/
At the middle and end it disappears like the british r
Excellent
🤩🤩🤩
Why you don´t blink people? Stop staring at me! You´re freaking me out! Haha I´m just kidding, thank both of you for the video.
Whenever I say the word girl it just sounds like I'm saying grrrrr
Hey Rachel can u make a vdo for L sound…
Ugh! This is so hard!
I am so so happy, because me not being able to say any words right with ‘r’ in it gave me severe social anxiety, so bad that I had to be homeschooled because I couldn’t stand talking to people. I used to dodge words that had an r in it, resulting in me sounding strange and foreign. This helps SO much and I know it’s old but THANK YOU!
I can't understand the "lift the middle of the tongue up" part
I finally did it right the fckn R sound. Hurt, Heart, her Here. I didn't use your technic thou but you inspired me to do it. Yay 😀
how many months to take?
Can u help with or words?
At last!
İ think the most important part, the final moment while we ‘re vibrating vocal cord, to sound strong an clear r which is really difficult to get used to it.
Thanks
/r/ phoneme is a bit trcky. Thank you both of you for this /r/ speech therapy.
