Struggling with the French R sound? Try the pen technique! 🖊️

Place a pen between your teeth and pronounce words with R like "rue," "français," or "bonjour."

It's as simple as that (in French we would say: “c’est simple comme bonjour”) : the pen immobilizes your tongue, helping you produce the French R sound.

Huge thanks to my student Sazmin for sharing this technique during class, the other students tried it and loved it!
