Difficult Foreign Sounds

Name: Anonymous 2012-09-23 1:01

What foreign sounds are you proud to have mastered? Which ones are you having difficulty with?

I learned how to make a Japanese R/L sound. It took me longer, but I also learned how to make a French R sound. Weird sounds in French, like the sound U makes, aren't bad for me.

Most of what is hard for me are Rs. I've been trying to get a Russian or even Spanish R, and I just haven't been able to make those sounds. I also can't make the German or Scottish ACH sound. That one would probably just take more practice, though.

Different poster here. American English is my mother language, but not only can I not easily pronounce any of the th sounds, I cannot "hear" them either. I usually hear them as "f" in words like teeth, and "d" in words like they. I also hear it as "v" in weather/feather.
I believe it may have something to do with having Russian parents.
