As a Slovenian to whom Czech sounds like Slovenian with a lisp, how do you pronounce ř?
It’s weird how similar the languages are. Visiting Prague, we could get by on speaking a more proper Slovenian with the locals who spoke back in Czech. Add some hand waving and it worked great.

- vanous 4y agoThe way one can learn to say ř is to whisper very very quietly r in a long sequence... rrrrrr. Not [ar] but "just" hard r. Over time, this rolling r can become ř. Children take several months to learn pronouncing it.
