This is golden! Than you very much! And as a latin american just arriving, you have clarified a LOT. (plus, you spanish R is on point, so kudos for that!)
French makes the facial muscles over-tensed, so try to RELAX them into Czech. Having French as a mother tongue does not help, but this makes the learning process all the more interesting and challenging. Hodně hodně štěstí!!!!!
The best video I found on this subject. The don't worry too much part was amazing. The only one I found that covers both Rs, the classical one and that whipered one that appears in the end of syllabes.
In Spanish we have a similar sibilant R, only in some highland dialects: Rioja in Spain, the Andes highlands of Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. In Chile it is very strong. TRI sounds the same in Czech 3 and in Andean trípode (tripod).
Thanks for this! Interesting and helpful... Being 50% Czech, I wonder if the ability to properly speak this sound is partially genetic, based on facial bone structure and musculature, as well as exposure to it as a child... although I only know a few Czech words and phrases. I seem to have no problem with producing this sound (I'm not bragging here at all... it's just an observation and hypothesis). PS. Notice my last name.... (an English translation of the Czech original!).
Hello, I am 50% Czech too. And I don't think that it has some correlation with genetic. I live in Czech only first 6 years of my life. And I can say it only because in 1st class I went to the speech therapist.
Děkuju! Funnily I've got more problems with the rolled r than with the ř. It's like I only can roll it once like "r" but not like you did "rrrrr". Is your tounge while saying this keep tipping against your upper mouth-part?
Yes, the tongue is half tipping, half vibrating as a little leaf in the autumnal wind. It should not get dry though - have a glass (of water) nearby before you start practicing.
I am German, so we do not trill the r. For me the czech r is much more difficult then the ř because the simultanous zh sound somewhat hides that I canot do the trill, which is immediately obvious when I pronounce the plain r. So czech people congratulate me on my pronunciation of ř but giggle when I pronounce r because I račkuju so much.
The first method works best for me but it is still not exactly right when I say it. One word I always have a problem with is the town Břeclav. The ř followed by the B is difficult to say for me.
You could start with “Řeclav”, than B…řeclav, marking a pause between B and ř, and after a while only, Břeclav. You will get there!!! Practice makes perfect 🥳
You are hylariouse, karate kid, Ř I got a really nice idea foir a t-shirt for my next visit to Pragh big fat Ř en then underneath it, I know, im working on it Apreciate your lessons
I could not get this right. I had studied Spanish in high school and couldn't get that right either. I think it's just a physical impossibility for some people. And it's very hard to differentiate between r with a hacek and the z with a hacek, especially if it comes at the beginning of a word.
I believe this is a subject for a pronunciation video. Žena and Řeka definitely sound different, like velvet and starched linen on a bare skin. Try to copy paste these words into a google translator and click on the megaphone repeatedly. You will hear the difference!
Really appreciate the ' it doesn't matter' introduction. Great teaching :)

Oh my god! I've been struggling with that sound for over a year now. You're magical

Řeka! Hon Řeka? if we translated both... would you like it? And interesting theory, yet some Czech cannot pronounce ř and have to be reeducated.

Dobrý den. I like the word " dobře ". It means good? Your channel and lesson is very good. Thank you.
In Spanish doble is double, so we feel Slavs are giving us a double greeting
dobře is more like well in English, it's adverb
Hahahaha (9:38) hat's rear is wrote in Brazilian Portuguese "Dřevo" (Madeira) with ř letter. See? Everything make sense.
How do you know it's in Brazilian Portuguese? He purchased the cap in Madeira ;-)
Děkuji mnohokrát 🌹🌷🌺

MUY BUENO, PERO DEBE MEJORAR EL SONIDO AMBIENTAL, HAY MUCHO RUIDO EN EL FONDO Y NO PERMITE ESCUCHAR MUY BIEN COMO SE PRONUNCIA.
Dobrý den
I like the Czech language and I wanna ask u if u know anything about scholarships in universitys in Czech

In Russian it would be Р-Ж and in English R-Zh (Zh like in pleasure or measure).
Thank you Gary! This is something we need to learn
Þ
It's like some kind of... alveolar english "shhh"?
It happens at the tip of the tongue.
I could not get this right. I had studied Spanish in high school and couldn't get that right either. I think it's just a physical impossibility for some people. And it's very hard to differentiate between r with a hacek and the z with a hacek, especially if it comes at the beginning of a word.
I can roll my Rs but not correctly tap them. I think I just need to practice tho.
