    For Filipinos like me, it is hard to grasp how LL (the double L) has come to be pronounced the ways native Spanish speakers do now. We can definitely do the modern pronunciation, but it will definitely annoy us. Lol. We've always pronounced it as /ly/, exactly like Portuguese LH and Italian GLI. They say our pronunciation is archaic.

    • @vlgeller
      @vlgeller Před 4 lety +2

    Anyway, recently some customers of mine (i am a call centre agent) tells me they like my accent. I do not know how i sound so i asked. They said i sound kinda like french or latin.
    If i listen to both, what i see similar is the somewhat nasal sound. Also, i have this air sound everytme i end a sentence.

  • @jessr3593
    @jessr3593 Před 4 lety +1

    I always said that if you never learned the rolled R sound, it is impossible. After about 5 years of INCREDIBLE frustration, i can now make the sound correctly . And yet I still find it almost impossible to incorporate into speech because of the anxiety of wondering if it will com out right - which makes my tongue not relaxed or dry and then I can’t do it . I have spent countless hours and hours - it took months of making sounds like a baby would before I could even get the air to make my tongue vibrate at all. And it practically required that I be yelling! So I gave up after that because I decided it was impossible to say in a word - and combined with other sounds before and after. A couple years later after my Spanish was much better I decided to try again out of sheer determination. And it was a long road. Singing along to songs in order to practice helped me a ton. But my tongue literally didn’t have the right muscle strength. So, while instructions on how to make the rolled R are nice and all - I think that for many people you need to be aware that it’s a long road ahead, filled with tears and frustration, and wanting to give up. It would be like saying “here is how you do 50 push-ups : “ and then you do 50 push-ups - to someone with no upper body strength... Just saying, don’t underestimate the difficulty of that sound - there is a LOT going on with it and everything has to be just right with the air flow, tongue position and level of stiffness/ relaxation .. ayyyyyyy it’s the bane of my Spanish-speaking existence !!

    In Polish we have 6 vowels, A E I O U Y. Spanish Ñ is Ń in Poland. Polish H and CH are similar, H is like a silent breathing (like in the English word "holy"), and Polish CH is like Spanish J - throat a little more closed.
    However Spanish CH sound like Polish CZ.
    We say Czekolada.
    We don't have soft volwels like Russian has, (Я Е И Ё Ю, in cyrillic, which sound like, trying to write it in English: Ya, Yeh, Yeeh, Yoh, Yuh)
    For me, living in Central-Eastern Europe, I'm thinking of learning German, French, Russian, or Romanian. :)

    I hate this and it’s embarrassing to say but I’m Spanish and a black person and the school I go to private school and there’s like a ton of Hispanic people there a few white and Black people too and so people think I don’t look Hispanic and don’t think I talk Spanish but when I learn for Spanish I’ll show them one day 😼

    you know it ain't that difficult when your native language is Urdu all the R's are words alphabets in Urdu we call R Ray like the Rolled R sound with E in spanish like RE thats R in urdu and the and the flipped R in spanish is also a letter in Urdu like flipped R from spanish and then E from spanish too yeah RE with the flipped R that makes RE
    so it was easy for me cz we have pronunciation like spanish you can check it out if you want

    Si ustedes quieren hablar español con un acento claro, bonito y que les permita ser entendidos por cualquier persona, orienten su aprendizaje al dialecto colombiano, especialmente el del interior. No es recomendable el acento de los actores y actrices de telenovelas ya que es un acento falso y actuado como el de las peliculas, más bien escuchen la radio donde el habla es natural.

      Hard for me too. Try holding your head back.
      Look at the ceiling. Rest the tip of the tongue on the palette just behind the teeth, not forcefully. Now play with the airflow. That'll get you started. Gradually lower your head.

      John Bradford - A tip: practice saying PERRO (dog) and GUITARRA (guitar) several times, u can also write them in the translator and listen to the voice to repeat! Once your mouth gets used to it, it’ll come out involuntarily

    My country, Philippines, were colonized by the Spaniards way back in 1521. Because of that I can say that there are words that are familiar to me. Tho, pronunciation have a little difference.

    Thanks for your helpful video but there is one unsolved problem that I have and that is the pronunciation of s ! I mean when I listen to people speaking in Spanish with "spanish" accent they pronounce the s letter somehow different as if th in english but not exactly I don't know but I can't ignore this that s is pronounced in a particular way cause I really care about accents.
