This is truly one of the hardest sounds in American English.<\/p>\n<p>Before I go into how to make it, I want to talk about how not to make it. In many languages, the R is made by bouncing the front part of the tongue against the roof of the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Rr&#8211; rr&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>In American English, this sound is the T or D between vowels. But it&#8217;s quite different from the American R.<\/p>\n<p>Rrrr&#8212; You can&#8217;t hold out rra&#8211; rra&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>But you should be able to hold out the American R.<\/p>\n<p>This consonant is voiced. There are two ways to make this sound. In the first way, the front part of the tongue pulls back and up, like this.<\/p>\n<p>The tongue can be stretched so it&#8217;s long and skinny. Or it can be pulled into itself so it&#8217;s fatter and thicker. And that&#8217;s what we want here.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re making the tongue fatter and thicker so it&#8217;s not as long. The back doesn&#8217;t move. This is happening in front.\u00a0 The middle part of the tongue lifts up towards the roof of the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>You can touch the sides of the tongue to the sides of the roof of the mouth here or to the inside or bottom of the side teeth here.<\/p>\n<p>The front part of the tongue is hanging in the middle of the mouth not touching anything.<\/p>\n<p>This sound is forward and focused because of the position of the lips. The corners come in, pushing the lips away from the face.<\/p>\n<p>This lip position will be a little more relaxed when the R comes at the end of the syllable. We&#8217;ll compare this way on the left, with the other way to make an R on the right.<\/p>\n<p>The R can also be made by flipping the tongue tip up. The lips flare the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Some native speakers make the R one way, and some, the other.<\/p>\n<p>Native speakers get the correct sound no matter the mouth position.<\/p>\n<p>But I found that non-native speakers often drop the jaw too much in this second method. And it makes the sound hollow. RR&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>The jaw doesn&#8217;t need to drop very much for this sound. Rr&#8211; So keep these in mind as you work on one of these two methods.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the R sound on its own, not part of a word. You can see the lips flare.<\/p>\n<p>Think of creating a little space on the inside of your lips and your teeth. Notice how little jaw drop there is.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t need to drop the jaw to pull the tongue back and up.<\/p>\n<p>The word &#8216;rest&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>When the R is at the beginning of a word, we tend to make the lips a tight circle.<\/p>\n<p>Again, little jaw drop as the middle of the tongue lifts to the roof of the mouth. The word &#8216;proud&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>When R is in a beginning consonant cluster, the lips may not be as tight as in the beginning R. The word &#8216;mother&#8217;, at the end of the syllable,<\/p>\n<p>the lip position for the R is definitely more relaxed than the beginning R.<\/p>\n<p>But the lips still flare. Here, we compare the lip position of the beginning R in &#8216;rest&#8217; above, to the ending R in &#8216;mother&#8217; below.<\/p>\n<p>The ending R lip position is much more relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about the lip position will help you make a better R sound.<\/p>\n<p>As you work on this consonant, practice very slowly. Thinking about all 3 things at once. Very little jaw drop, the tongue position, and the lip position.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you can hold out this sound.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s how you want to practice it.<\/p>\n<p>Rrrrr&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Hold it out for 5 or 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it out as long as you can.<\/p>\n<p>When you practice it in a word, do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Rest<\/p>\n<p>Proud<\/p>\n<p>Mother<\/p>\n<p>The R sound<\/p>\n<p>Rest<\/p>\n<p>Proud<\/p>\n<p>Mother<\/p>\n<p>Example words. Repeat with me.<\/p>\n<p>Read. Rr&#8211; Read.<\/p>\n<p>Great. Rr&#8211; Great.<\/p>\n<p>Try. Rr&#8211; Try.<\/p>\n<p>Later. Rr&#8211; Later.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Rr&#8211; Right.<\/p>\n<p>Other. Rr&#8211; Other.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><strong>Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-173720-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/508a.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/508a.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/508a.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This consonant is likely the most challenging sound in American English.
