The Sounds of `V', `W' and `F', and `R'


  • Hmm. I see. Dutch also has several accents according to existing languages. That must be so. And it's interesting.
  • Huh, the notation on Hatena for YouTube seems to have changed. But since YouTube provides an embedding code, you know?


  • And I'm happy with this video explaining the sound of `R'. Huh, it's always OK with the rolling `R', which is surprising. Many (if not all) instruction books that are available in this country say that the `R' sound doesn't exist in your language. Wrong, isn't it? It exists, huh. Why don't authors of those books notice it? It exists, and it's not so much difficult to say the rolling `R'. -- I'm sorry, it was about `G', not `R', My mistake. -- And to have a video which explains that a sound of `R' sometimes changes is good because listening to CD's does not provide samples that change over time. If it is the `French R', it will be so for good. I had noticed that there are several sounds of `R', but I didn't know that the sound can change. (Didn't the authors notice this also?) Huh. It's interesting. And even the English `R' is also tolerated? Huh, that's amazing. Then speakers of English can be happy more easily.
