    I love how Icelanders pronounce the voiceless R 💕 The 2 voiced Rs are easy to me because my mother tongue is Spanish 😁

    fun fact, Ancient Greek likely also has a voiceless trilled r, which is why Latin transcribed them with rh instead of a simple r (eg. Rhodes)

    In Spanish we have both of the "slapped" and "rolled" R sounds, and a lot of Native Mexican words also have that T sound you talked about, but it's written as "tl". It's interesting to see the similarities in languages so different!
    Great video!

    It´s funny, for English speakers the R can be difficult. But as a Portuguese or Spanish speaker the R sounds are pretty easy. But man, those TH and voiceless letters are hard and subtle.

    Hæ!
    I'm from germany and currently started learning icelandic.
    And yea, even though german is also very hard to learn I struggle with the R
    we have some dialects in german where you also roll the R but we dont have those silent things like the "ur" endings in "morgunmatur"
    otherwise we have surpisingly often words that are similar but sound a little different, or we have even words we use, but not every day or those words are "old words"
    othere words that cofuse me with the double L like "illa" in "
    mér líkar illa við" that sound more like "ithla" or al at the end in gaffal that sound like "kaffach" to me
    where "ch" in german sounds exactly like the ending L
    This video is very good to understand the R, just subscribed and hope to see more like this :) and also I hope to speak Icelandic some day ;)

    r̥ is very intersting. it starts as a "h", then it goes to a devoiced "r" and I listen to some people pronouncing a very fast "s" in the end.

    I don't if this is due to me being a native polish speaker, but all those rs sound completely different and I have 0 problem with pronouncing them, lol.

  • @Jr-ft9ii
    @Jr-ft9ii 2 года назад +2

    It may be a good idea for practising voiceless consonants, to whisper full sentences instead of using the voice. At least that's helping me identify what the hell an unvoiced consonant is and realize that I'm really able to perform them 😂. Then switching voiced and unvoiced will be a whole new level 🥵

  • @andyarken7906
    @andyarken7906 2 года назад +1

    Rolled Rs are easy for me, but the voiceless ones sound almost the same for me. And I don't hear a "sh" there either, which I suppose is good?

  • @HD-dq9kr
    @HD-dq9kr 3 года назад +3

    Small tip, /rl/ is only pronounced /tl/ in specific words, karl and varla for example. But Perla would never be pronounced with /tl/ and always has the /r/ pronounced. :)

    Very helpful video. I'm struggling with R at the end of words, with the voiceless sound you talked about. I absolutely hear "sh" in words like "fyrir", "vinir", and especially "hundur" , but I don't hear the sound as much in your pronunciation, and in some speakers it sounds exaggerated. Is there variation between accents and words? I've been alternating between a soft -r- and a soft -sh- sound, trying my best to combine them. I'm going to practice just devoicing the -r- like you said though.

    • @icelandicforforeigners
      @icelandicforforeigners  Год назад +1

      Thank you! Yes, some speakers will exaggerate the voiceless R. I definitely recommend focusing on devoicing the R instead of intentionally pronouncing it like an SH. It will take practice but you will sound more native if you do!

    Does this mean that rl is mostly pronounce the same as ll? The way you say Perla and Karl would make me expect Pella and Kall - or is there a difference between the way rl and ll are pronounced?

    For spaniards and germans the icelandic R is very easy. Except for the last part of the video, the letter is not hard. But you forgot Eyra, because it have the voiceless sound. May Odinn-sama be with you.

      I've been asked this before, and my understanding is that they are not exactly the same. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Czech to describe the difference
