Video: How to Make Japanese “R” Sound

Posted: 18th Aug 2023

Ever struggled with how to pronounce the Japanese "r" sound?

Compared to many languages, Japanese has a relatively simple sound system (pitch accent aside). However, the "r" sound is something that can trip many people up.

Today, I've done something a bit different and decided to share some tips, tricks and techniques in video format!

This clip is from Part 1 of my Japanese for Beginners 1 course. If you like what you see, check out the course and consider subscribing to my newsletter for a whole 20% off.
