The R and L sound. The American R sound. I think this is the most difficult sound for non native speakers, because you don't have it in your language. It's really one of a kind for American English. So let's talk about it. The American AR is all about the tongue and the back of the throat.
Let's take a word for example, rat, rat. Many non native speakers might say what? Instead of rat, so let's talk about the tongue. The tongue is totally relaxed. The tongue does not touch anywhere inside the mouth. Let's say this is your mouth.
Here's the inside of your mouth. And here Is your tongue so it's not touching? It's relaxed. And you go back a little bit our our, and it's a little bit rounded here, huh? No touching our room Okay, a lot of non native speakers tell me the our sound sounds like you might have something hot in your mouth like a hot potato are are. You might try practicing like this.
Okay, let's go to the L sound. The L sound, the tongue does touch the back of your front teeth. Hmm, like law law and it pushes out a little bit. Nah love Lucky Lisa. The th sound also uses the tip, but the tip is outside the front teeth. Mm hmm.
The L sound is behind the front teeth. Mm hmm. Okay, so let's do these sounds again. They are sound, remember? Oh, are wrapped, wrapped. Okay?
