    Hi there,

    First of all, I wanted to say hello. It’s my first post and I honestly just subscribed a couple of minutes ago.

    I started with Season 1 yesterday and I’m currently working on my pronunciation. The thing is, I’m not a native English speaker, in fact I’m half Italian, half Luxembourg but I still have problems pronouncing the Japanese “R”. I don’t know if I do it right or not, so I recorded a small sound file which is split into three parts. I say it a couple of times, so you can listen to it and maybe tell me what I’m doing wrong.

    I hope anyone can help me.

    Sincerely,
    Kevin

    Thank you.
    You see, my problem is that I don’t really know if I use too much of an r or maybe too much of an l. So I don’t really know if I’m doing it right or not and if not what to work on.
