How to roll your Russian Rs - Advanced guide
In this video, you’ll learn how to roll your Russian Rs.
Despite most people and even sources habitually refer to the Russian rolling Rs in a singular number, in Russian we have not 1 but 2 rolling Rs. Both rolling Rs are full-fledged sounds commonly used by Russian native speakers all the time.
In this video, I’ll teach you how to roll your Russian rolling Rs (both of them), explain how to pronounce them, and when to pronounce one or another.
Also, like most of my videos, this video comes with a PDF handout with images, diagrams, and exercises to solidify the fresh knowledge.

After marriage, alongside with acquisition of a spouse, you also get a handful of new relatives from the side of a partner. For example, Friedrich Engels, one of the fathers of Marxism and, therefore, communism, loved his in-laws so much that after...

  • @HANSMKAMP

    10:12: I never knew that there is a slight difference between Russian rolling r (at least the hard r) and the Spanish rolling r. I can roll the r properly; I learned that when I was 14 years old (I only do that in foreign languages where it is required, like Esperanto, Spanish and Russian, but it's not required (although it is allowed) in my native tongue Dutch). I have studied Spanish a long while ago. There are two types of rolling r's in Spanish, but they are different from the two types of rolling r's in Russian, like explained before in this video. There is a very strong long rolling r [rː] in Spanish, which is pronounced after a consonant, at the beginning of a word, and when it is spelled with rr. In dictionaries the rr is a single letter, not just two letters r, and it is sorted after r. The other r is a very light r [ɾ], and sounds almost like a d. In American English (not in British English) the t is often pronounced that way, especially between two pronounced vowels. I always pronounced "рь", soft r, almost as a d. It is a bit difficult sound to make. I try to pronounce a [j] (not a clear [j]) after it. The hard r (p) in Russian is easy for me. I also tend to devoice the р and рь at the eind of a word or before a voiceless consonant. I don't know whether that is correct.

    As a native English speaker, I am aware there are 'rules' that not everybody agrees on, in my language. I have reviewed several sources for handwriting block letters in Russian as well as having read many of the comments below from native Russian speakers. I will take my comrades advice for the most part but suspect his insistence on his way being the only correct way is not necessarily how all the Russian population write. Even my few Russian friends disagree on some of the letters. Either way, thank you for your video.

    My mom is from Kiev but speaks Russian rather than Ukrainian (she left in the late 70s, so people mostly spoke Russian back then). I told her about this whole devoicing-the-final concept and she COMPLETELY denies that this is a thing. She says, for instance, that it's "droog" rather than "drook," or "greeb" and not "greep." She even said that "greep" is another way of saying "flu" and that people are certainly not saying that. She was adamant and thought that I'm either making this up or I am completely misinformed. Is this something specific to Russia rather than Ukraine? Or maybe something to do with the time period? Could it be that the change is so faint that most people can't even recognize the difference?

    • @DenisFedorov
      @DenisFedorov 3 месяца назад

      It’s hard to tell why she says that, but I can assure you that you are not misinformed. Probably, it’s a combination of points expressed in your question #1 and especially #3.
