Hi all,

I need your advice as how to get rid of the typical Czech pronunciation of "R"? I am really struggling as I am used to pronounce Czech "R"  and everyone knows that I am a foreigner. Please help, I want to sound more English:-)

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Jana,

I suppose you've already tried to imitate an English r-sound. It might be good for you to read about how English people 'produce' the r-sound. Descriptions can be found in books on English phonetics and on some pronunciation related websites.

everyone knows that I am a foreigner

It's good to know how to pronounce the r-sound in a more English way. However, you most likely need to work on other aspects of pronunciation and intonation as well if you want to acquire a truly native-sounding accent. What do you want to sound like? What is your goal?
