This is the introduction to a presentation at the Polyglot Gathering called "The Sincerest Form of Flattery: How Imitating a Foreign Accent Can Help You Master Any Language". Long title, sure, but more importantly Ruben Adery provides a framework for using accent as a tool to not only build confidence in a foreign language, but also connect more deeply with others.
The first minute will show you how the speaker, who was mostly unknown to the audience, could deceive people not once, but twice by utilizing the same tools that he will later teach in the presentation.

Resh tends to be the sound that most struggle to pronounce naturally. There is a slight controversy with the whole Ashkenazi / Eastern European influence vs. the flipped R or flap /tap sound that you hear from Middle Eastern / Russian / North African Hebrew speakers.
The truth is that no one sound is *better* than the others, but there is a question of prevalence and the pronunciations youll hear more often as a tourist or when you first move to Israel is this guttural, back of the mouth scrape that actually has slight variations.
In the course, we break down the different pronunciations of Resh, depending on if it comes at the beginning of the word or at the end, between vowels or before another consonant... all these are slight factors in perfecting your Modern Hebrew pronunciation.
If you cant get enough of this stuff, then youre ready to dive into the Mivtaim comprehensive video course that covers all things Hebrew pronunciation!
