German pronunciation R -- how to get it right?

- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- The German R comes from the back of the throat.
You can feel it if you touch your throat. You get the R at the right position by trying to clear your throat. If it hurts in the throat, the place where you make the R is right.
The R is a little tricky. There are basically two pronunciations. One is the throat R and the other one sounds very similar to A. I recommend to use only the throat R in the beginning. If you don't pay attention it will soften by itself and become smooth and non-hurting "A"-R over time.
Training words:
Rote Rüben
Kartoffeln
groß
drei grüne Regentropfen
Zungenbrecher:
Ich bin 33 Jahre alt.
33.333 durstige Räuber bedrohen Robert.
Hannover /hanova/
-er at the ending of words are usually pronunced "a". The throat gets tighter when producing the sound for -er.
Words with a soft R:
sondern
Kiefer
Lärm
Go ahead, practice the "R" sound and send me a WhatsApp message (+49 160 9054 2184) or WeChat (user id "sprachrolf") or an email with an .mp3 attached (info@sprachrolf.com).

I think the hardest combination of all is r+e, as in "andere, weitere, mehrere". I find myself overpronouncing the R sound or hissing it, whereas it should be a "dry"and clean gurgling (by dry I mean that it shouldn't be heard any liquid/water/spit vibrating to help amplifying and getting the sound right) with a hopping intonation; if I go with the Italian R, I can get the rythm right, otherwise both rythm and pronounciation escape me. Dunno if anyone else has the same issue like me
I'd find myself adapting a new voice for learning how to to speak german. Letter R is sooo hard.
The best class!! Dankeee😊🙏🏼
As long as I know, before World War II, German speakers and Dutch speakers employed an alveolar trill 'r' when speaking German and Dutch. Take the word 'recht' and 'vier". Germans pronounced them [rɛçt] and [fiːr], the Dutch [rɛxt] and [viːr]. After World War II, however, Germans and the Dutch have started to use a French 'r' [ʀ] at the beginning of words and syllables.
I wish you were still making videos on here because I find them useful.

Dankeschön 🙏🏻
When you demonstrate the sound at the beginning by "clearing your throught" most of the time you don't realize a "r" sound but a "kh" sound like in Arabic or "j" like in Spanish.
My husband’s name is Rolf and he makes fun of me because I cannot say it correctly. 😂I’m trying to learn now.
Gut erklärt
Danke :-)
One-shot video. You're goog! I think my main problem is how to get to Germany, not the pronunciation of 'r' and other sounds... My pronunciation is pretty ok
Wer die Runkelroiweroppmaschin' mitsingen kann, ist ein Profi im R rollen
Is it similar to the French R ?
cooles Video...aber im Sueden benutzen die Leute mit dem "R" die Zunge, nicht wahr? Sie verwenden eine Zungenrolle um den R Laut zu machen? aug englisch-- 'Voiced dental trill"...
So with the gr combination I imagine it’s more about getting used to emphasizing the G briefly before the R. I have the problem of my Gs disappearing into my R or the R dragging on an obnoxious length of time.
2:17 I doubt any native speaker naturally pronounces /r/ like that.
[ʀ] ("gargled" /r/) was not considered correct until 1957 when it got implemented as an alternative to the traditional [r] (alveolar trill) for stage acting purposes. It was meant to be a substitute for the much spreading [ʁ] (uvular fricative), which itself is seen as too soft for plays. Up to today it can only be found as a stylistic device (overstress), usually in contemporary music, plays, readings etc., and even as that it's not very common.
Therefore I advise against picking this up as regular realisation - unless you want to be mistaken for French. LOL.
I'm having such a hard time saying 'groß' well. The back-to-back of a hard g and this r that I still don't understand is incredibly difficult for me
Rrr haha, Danke dir!
It hurts🥺
i… dont think its supposed to hurt 😭
i mean, he said it would but j think that was only the first time 😂
@@eggynuts tht comment was about 6 months ago😌 now i can speak fluent german😌 rrrr ist jetzt ganz einfach für mich😊
Fluently? Cool! Gut gemacht!@@haishamofficial1165
Any advice for someone just starting?
This video is about French R, not German R. (Some) Germans copied the French R. Others copied the Italian R. There is no German R 😅
PS. I would have not told you this secret if the presenter in the video was not so annoying.
Similar to the French 'r'
👍👍
:-) Danke
