I am struggling with the British RP "r" sound. To be more precise with position of tongue.
That video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wTJKj_GI_o shows that "tongue goes back in the mouth", but a book which I am learning from says:
1. Make \d\ sound, as in DO
2. As your tongue tip drops at the end of the sound, curl it back a little.
3. The tongue tip will feel like it is rising upwards towards the roof of your mouth.
This is the correct position to produce /r/ sound.
So, which way of making /r/ is correctly?
