Really appreciate the ' it doesn't matter' introduction. Great teaching :)

This is golden! Than you very much! And as a latin american just arriving, you have clarified a LOT. (plus, you spanish R is on point, so kudos for that!)

Děkuji moc! Trying to pronounce ř is quite a challenge 😅 Greetings from Canada

The best video I found on this subject. The don't worry too much part was amazing. The only one I found that covers both Rs, the classical one and that whipered one that appears in the end of syllabes.

Oh my god! I've been struggling with that sound for over a year now. You're magical

French makes the facial muscles over-tensed, so try to RELAX them into Czech. Having French as a mother tongue does not help, but this makes the learning process all the more interesting and challenging. Hodně hodně štěstí!!!!!

Paní profesorko, vaše vysvětlení a metody byly velmi dobré a užitečné... a Neklanovy také, a vtipné: Karate kid. :-)

Finally someone who explains the mechanic with the position of the tongue ! Thank you, really really thank you !

In Spanish we have a similar sibilant R, only in some highland dialects: Rioja in Spain, the Andes highlands of Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. In Chile it is very strong. TRI sounds the same in Czech 3 and in Andean trípode (tripod).

Your a great teacher. thanks 😎👍

Ahhhh god , how to whisper a full “rrrrrrr” love sentence in your bf’s ear without anyone noticing

You are hylariouse, karate kid, Ř I got a really nice idea foir a t-shirt for my next visit to Pragh big fat Ř en then underneath it, I know, im working on it Apreciate your lessons

No issues for arab.. I really like to say and repeat it 😍😍

Thanks for this! Interesting and helpful... Being 50% Czech, I wonder if the ability to properly speak this sound is partially genetic, based on facial bone structure and musculature, as well as exposure to it as a child... although I only know a few Czech words and phrases. I seem to have no problem with producing this sound (I'm not bragging here at all... it's just an observation and hypothesis). PS. Notice my last name.... (an English translation of the Czech original!).

Řeka! Hon Řeka? if we translated both... would you like it? And interesting theory, yet some Czech cannot pronounce ř and have to be reeducated.

I am German, so we do not trill the r. For me the czech r is much more difficult then the ř because the simultanous zh sound somewhat hides that I canot do the trill, which is immediately obvious when I pronounce the plain r. So czech people congratulate me on my pronunciation of ř but giggle when I pronounce r because I račkuju so much.

Ahoj !!! Spelling ROZMĚNIT helps a lots😊😊 try it people Best wishes from Nepal 😊😊

Wu......th......eringly brilliant!!!!! 😉

thank you

Děkuju! Funnily I've got more problems with the rolled r than with the ř. It's like I only can roll it once like "r" but not like you did "rrrrr". Is your tounge while saying this keep tipping against your upper mouth-part?

Yes, the tongue is half tipping, half vibrating as a little leaf in the autumnal wind. It should not get dry though - have a glass (of water) nearby before you start practicing.

The first method works best for me but it is still not exactly right when I say it. One word I always have a problem with is the town Břeclav. The ř followed by the B is difficult to say for me.

@CzechforGary

You could start with “Řeclav”, than B…řeclav, marking a pause between B and ř, and after a while only, Břeclav. You will get there!!! Practice makes perfect 🥳

Dobrý den I like the Czech language and I wanna ask u if u know anything about scholarships in universitys in Czech Note: iam form Syria😅

oof I pronounced Dobrý Den the Russian way

Hahahaha (9:38) hat's rear is wrote in Brazilian Portuguese "Dřevo" (Madeira) with ř letter. See? Everything make sense.

How do you know it's in Brazilian Portuguese? He purchased the cap in Madeira ;-)

Polish & Mandarin aChinese have similar consonants.

MUY BUENO, PERO DEBE MEJORAR EL SONIDO AMBIENTAL, HAY MUCHO RUIDO EN EL FONDO Y NO PERMITE ESCUCHAR MUY BIEN COMO SE PRONUNCIA.

In Russian it would be Р-Ж and in English R-Zh (Zh like in pleasure or measure).

I could not get this right. I had studied Spanish in high school and couldn't get that right either. I think it's just a physical impossibility for some people. And it's very hard to differentiate between r with a hacek and the z with a hacek, especially if it comes at the beginning of a word.

I believe this is a subject for a pronunciation video. Žena and Řeka definitely sound different, like velvet and starched linen on a bare skin. Try to copy paste these words into a google translator and click on the megaphone repeatedly. You will hear the difference!

It's like some kind of... alveolar english "shhh"?
