Pronunciation: The /r/ Sound

Jennifer Lebedev has a lot of very informative videos on YouTube for learning English.  In particular, she has quite a few very nice videos on Pronunciation.  For her entire collection of YouTube videos, click here

Her videos aren't particularly fancy.  In fact, she mostly just uses hand-written cards, visual aids, and diagrams.  However, she does a very nice job of speaking clearly, providing some notes for key ideas, and sticking to good methodology.  She uses a variety of techniques to teach both segmentals and suprasegmentals.  

Here is her series of videos on how to learn the /r/ sound.
