Language/French/Pronunciation/How-to-pronounce-R

The "R" sound in French is very hard to pronounce for many foreigners. They generally find that it is not a beautiful consonant and in addition, we find it everywhere in French!

If you pronounce a rolled "R" for example (as in Spanish, Italian, Romanian or Russian ...), it proves right away that you are not French!

Now, controlling the R-consonant is not as difficult as it seems. It just takes a rigorous training organization.

The "R" in French can be found in many positions in the rhythm group. The difficulty of its realization depends on its position. A training according to the position must be organized to master the "R" step by step, position by position.
