- Reading: The letter 'R'
I can't fucking pronounce this letter.
I just can't do it.
My tongue doesn't do the right movements.
I don't know how the germans and the brits do it.

Then how do you pronounce Brasil
isn't brazilian R basically fake R like in English though ?
and isn't German the same guttural R like ours ?
>>60242908
Our R is the exact same one as the German R, they're literally the same sound.
How can you not pronounce it?
>>60242993
by "fake R" i don't mean to be rude i just mean "it's written R but it sounds like W"
>>60242993
The german R depends on the region. In some regions it's guttural, in other regions it's rolled. And in many regions it's like a vowel if it's the last letter of a syllable.
>>60242908
Is this you?
>>60242993
Depends on the dialect. 'r's can be rolled, like 'h' in English or closer to the French r afaik. Also r in Germany depends on the dialect too
>>60242980
Nah man, I mean, it's different.
>>60242993
Idk. I just know I can't do it.

>I don't know how the germans and the brits do it.
Well how do you do it? Isn't your R the same as ours?
Because if it is, it's the German R too
>>60243211
I think it's only me then.
But like, I can't say 'water'. I can't do it. It doesn't sound right.
>>60243335
There's no r sound in water

British pronounciation is easier when learning because it's much clearer, then you automatically start speaking in American
