Need Help With Pronunciation

[Frank_H_Smith]

As Salamu'alakum,

Min fud lak/ Min fud lik

Please,

I need help learning to pronounce this:

Rabbi ghfir lee ghfir lee

To my English ear it sounds like:

Rabbi ryefir lee ryefir lee

with the gh sounding alittle like the French "R".

Is that correct and does anyone have a link to help me learn how to correctly pronounce it.

I need to say it hourly if not more often.

Shukran. Thank you

as-Salaamu Alaikum wa rahmahtullah, Brother Frank -

Have you tried the Cyber Salat programme to give you a hand with pronounciation? If so, forgive me repeating it, but if not, it's a good resource, in shaa Allah.

As Salamu'alaykum,

I use a program from Sister Revert's blog called How Do I Pray. Unfortunately, I have difficulty hearing the subtleties of articulation, enunciation, pronunciation, inflection, or what ever it is called. But, thank you for the suggestion.

When I was first learning Spanish, I wanted to tell a Mexican Family that they had a large Kitchen. Instead of la cocina grande, I said el cocino grand. I was later told that in Mexican Slang I said "Su una pocilga." You have a large Pig Sty instead of you have a large kitchen. I was puzzled why everyone stopped smiling.

One thing I love about the Mexicans is that you can be horrible at Spanish and they will USUALLY tell you that you are doing very well.

In the beginning, every time I tried speaking to Puerto Ricans, they would ask me if I was speaking Canadian. :0

As Salamu 'Alaykum,

I am not positive that I got the program from Sister Reverts Blog. I know I got the excellent videos from there. The Salah Program might be from a website with Islamic programs for free.
