I am 11 years old and can pronounce the letter "r" but not very well. The lady from the cabaret classes that I attend said that something can be done about it. But I would like to learn to speak clearly myself. Besides, I open my mouth too little. Please help!

I understand your ambition to learn the correct pronunciation of the "r" sound on your own, but it is worth going to someone who is a specialist, preferably a speech therapist. There are different diction exercises for everyone, so you cannot use publicly available exercises from the Internet or books. If you want to speak perfectly in the future, you need to work on it now.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
