1
The American R is a truly unique sound and one of the hardest sounds for non -native speakers to get.
2
But also mastering the American R is one of the best things you can do to sound natural speaking English.
3
You just need to learn the basics of the mouth position and train the sound over and over, your ear will get it.
4
Today we're learning about the sound, we're training with up -close slow -motion footage of a ton of R words, and we're comparing it with L,
5
a sound that some language groups mix up with the R.
6
Be sure to download my Sounds of American English Cheat Sheet.
7
It's free.
8
It's an illustrated reference guide for you for the sounds of American English, including the phonetic symbols you need to know.
9
Link here and in the video description.
10
To start, let's take the word race.
11
Race.
12
It's a beginning R.
13
Look at how much the lips round for this.
14
I mean they almost completely close.
15
So there's a lot of lip rounding for a beginning R.
16
Right now, round your lips and try to match this sound.
17
I'm going to hold it out.
18
You hold it out as well as long you can.
19
It helps to approach learning a sound two ways.
20
First, just try to match the sound with your ears.
21
Second, think about the mouth position and try to do it.
22
This is what my tongue looks like inside of my mouth.
23
The tip is pulled back and up a little bit.
24
Some people make it by flipping the tip up, instead of pulling the tip up and back a little bit,
25
they may get a sound that sounds pretty good, but also sometimes they get a sound that sounds kind of hollow, errr.
26
We want errr, a more focused sound.
27
See that my jaw hardly drops for this sound.
28
Errr.
29
If you're dropping your jaw a lot, errr, that's a sign that it's not the right sound.
30
A lot of my students make this sound as a flap.
31
If they're from India, if their native language is Spanish or Arabic.
32
That's not a sound that you can hold out.
33
But the American R, you can hold out.
34
And actually, you should hold it out when you're practicing it and finding it.
35
That does really help.
36
Now we'll look at a couple of words up close and in slow motion where the R is not the first sound.
37
The lips round less so you get to see inside the mouth a little bit more.
38
And I want to take a quick second to shout out this member of my Rachel's Superstars in my YouTube membership.
39
He's been asking for more of this zoomed up footage for years, so YoungWest00, this one's for you.
40
By the way, do you see this pink badge next to his name?
41
That means he's one of my supporting members here on YouTube, click join to learn more.
42
But my Rachel Circle and Rachel's Superstar supporters help make this channel possible, thank you.
43
They get badges to make their comments stand out and the top level gets exclusive audio lessons each month.
44
So huge thanks to you guys again and click join on YouTube to learn more.
45
This is the word anchor.
46
Ends with schwa R.
47
Anchor.
48
See how my tongue tip pulls back and up.
49
See how my lips are still flared, but they don't come into the tight circle that they do for a beginning R.
50
The lip position is more relaxed.
51
This is the word branch.
52
My lips have just parted from the B, and now you're seeing the R.
53
This is the underside of my tongue because the tip is pulled back and up.
54
There's so much jaw drop here because I'm moving into position for the AA vowel.
55
You'll see my tongue tip come forward again for that vowel.
56
So for the R, tongue tip pulls back and up, but it's still in the front half of the mouth.
57
The lips flare, and if it's a beginning R, they really do make a tight circle.
58
L, on the other hand, is very different.
59
And it really looks different too.
60
We just saw branch.
61
Now this is blanche.
62
You probably know branch, like the branch on a tree.
63
The word blanche is used in cooking.
64
It's when you cook something for a short time and then try to cool it down quickly so it stops cooking.
65
Like with vegetables.
66
You cook them in boiling water for a period then you put them into ice water.
67
Blanche.
68
The L.
69
The lips are totally relaxed and the tongue tip is at the roof of the mouth.
70
What you're seeing here of the tongue is still the underside of the tongue,
71
but you can tell the tip of the tongue is behind my top front teeth, not further back like it is for the R.
72
This is an illustration of what the tongue looks like in the mouth.
73
This is the light L.
74
We actually have two different positions that you'll see natives do for this.
75
For the other one, the tongue tip comes through the teeth so it looks a little bit like a TH.
76
L, L, L, and the tongue tip presses up on the front teeth here.
77
L, L, like.
78
We're going to watch a whole bunch of words comparing R and L in various places in the word, so you might see both positions.
79
Tongue tip behind the teeth, uh, and tongue tip coming out of the teeth, uh.
80
To be honest, I have no idea which one I'm doing most of the time.
81
It's just not something I think about just like you don't think about the sounds that you make for your native language.
82
So comparing branch and blanche, comparing the R and the L.
83
We saw how the ending R is different from the beginning R and that the lips are more relaxed.
84
An L at the beginning of a word is also different from an L at the end of the word.
85
To get all the details, check out this complete video on L.
86
Just know that the first one is called light L.
87
That's the one we've studied already here.
88
The one at the end of a word is a dark L, and that has a dark sound we make with the back of the tongue,
89
pressing down and back a little bit, l, l.
90
So for this dark sound, you don't need your tongue tip.
91
It usually just stays down.
92
l, l, l.
93
And that's crazy for my students.
94
They're so used to thinking L, lift the tongue tip, but not for the dark L.
95
It's harder to see the tongue position for the dark L
96
because the part of the tongue making the sound is at the back.
97
But let's take a look at the word candle.
98
Candle.
99
Ends in an L, that's a dark L.
100
I'm going to take you through the D sound and we'll pause it.
101
Candle.
102
Okay, here's the D and the next sound is the dark L.
103
Behind the teeth right here, you'll see the tongue tip come down.
104
It's not up for the dark L.

Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 25 contrações e formas reduzidas, como don't, I'm, we're. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: flesh /flɛʃ/, rash /ɹæʃ/, blush /ˈblʌʃ/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, brush /bɹʌʃ/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: predictable /pɹəˈdɪktəbləl/, calculator /kæl.kjə.leɪ.tɚ/, illustration /ˌɪləsˈtɹeɪ̯ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, alligator /ˈæl.ɪ.ɡeɪ.tɚ/
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: lip /lɪp/, cloud /ˈklaʊ̯d/, clock /klɑk/, crack /kɹæk/, breast /bɹɛst/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: candle /ˈkæn.dəl/, tile /ˈtaɪ.əl/, eagle /ˈiːɡəl/, pale /peɪl/, ankle /ˈæŋ.kəl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: rehearsal /ɹɪˈhɝsl̩/, hollow /ˈhɑloʊ/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
- Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como lip, candle, compare.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
