1: The first syllable in my name starts as a voiced alveolar stop "d" plus the front middle vowel "eh" : "De." The next syllable is voiced alveolar liquid "r" followed by a front high vowel "i" and finally ends with the unvoiced velar stop "k" "Rik" Combine the two together and you will get "dɛrɪk".
2: To start out, put the tip of your tongue on that bony part right behind your top teeth. hold the air in just for a second and let got if it to make "d". Then, follow it up with "eh", After, put your tongue slightly further back than before and let the air out as you roll your tongue flat again to make the "r" sound. Follow that with 'ih" and end it with "k" by having the back part of your tongue touch that soft spot at the back of the roof of your mouth.
