Pronounce the American R – Tips & Videos

Posted On: May 3, 2020

Learning to pronounce the American R sound is difficult for many English as second language speakers, especially from India.

Today I met an enthusiastic lady who is saying it absolutely right! Interestingly, as her and I were comparing American English and Malayalam sound patterns, we realized there were some similarities between the Malayalam ഴ sound (zh) and the American R. I attempt to share that with you in the video below.
