What's the difference between /ɹ/, /r/ and /ʀ/? - English R vs. rolled Spanish & German R Sounds
Billie English - the YouTube channel to help you improve your English pronunciation, speaking and fluency! Billie is a certified CELTA English teacher trainer and has over 17 years of teaching experience. In this video we are going to compare 3 different R sounds that can be confused because their IPA sound symbols look quite similar: /ɹ/, /r/ & /ʀ/. One is the standard English R, the other two are rolled trills that we have in Spanish and German. I had so much fun making this video & I hope you enjoy watching it!

★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
In this video we are going to bring some clarity into 3 IPA sound symbols (and sounds) that are often confused with one another. We are going to learn about:
the standard English R in British and American English. The official IPA sound symbol is a lower case upside down R letter: /ɹ/. To help you understand how this sound is formed, I made some plasticine models - extra for you 🙂
Why many student books still use the symbol /r/ for the English R instead of /ɹ/
The rolled R sound we have in Spanish, represented by the IPA symbol /r/. This sound is a trill. I will show you how this sound is produced, so get ready to practise with me. I promise this will be fun!
The standard german R: another trill. This one is formed at the back of the throat with the velum. It is also called a uvular trill. Sometimes this sound is realised as a fricative instead of a trill, in which case the IPA symbol is an upside down capital R = /ʁ/.
The difference to the Flap T (also called Tap) /ɾ/. The IPA symbol looks really similar but this is a very different sound that we sometimes use instead of a /t/ or /d/ sound.
