The \r\ sound
Hi all,
I am the Engish learner on the https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com . I would like to ask two questions for the Oxford English Teachers and the USA English Teachers:
- Could you help me to explain Why the way to make the \r\ sound on the https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ispeaker/ is too different to many tutorials on youtube.com that also were made by the Native USA English Teachers?
- If the way to make the \r\ sound in the first question is true. And if I'm not wrong, the sound that I heard from the USA video teacher on https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ispeaker/ or from my practices is too different to the \r\ sound that I heard on the
But if I put sounds together like \r\ \e\ \d\ on the https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ispeaker/ to say 'red', I hear it's correct to the sound that I heard in dictionaries https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/red_1?q=red https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/red https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/red
As I knew that the \r\ sound is one of the most important sounds in the USA. And one day I will go to the country to continue for learning Computer Science. I hope the real native Oxford/USA English teachers will answer the questions.

I just asked a native USA English Teacher for the questions and I got the right answers. So that I decided to close this thread as no one helped me!
