Can't Roll Your Rs? Try This
Rolling your Rs can be crucial to get the right sounds in a foreign language. If you can't do it, this is one thing you can try. I hope it works for you.

Im working on it; so far all I can do with it is get people to roll their eyes.

This video might be enough for most people, but I started trying to roll my "R"s at about age 12, working at it, then giving up, trying again, and then again, eventually went through oral surgery, three years of braces to straighten my teeth, got a nice smile, but no go on the "R"s ....until I finally began to get it down in my early thirties. Another several years of playing with it, and now I can do a decent job using the "RR" sound in Spanish conversation. But, seriously twenty or more years is a long time to invest in making one stupid sound! I hope you folks have better luck!

Was there something specific you tried that eventually helped? Or was it just trial and error?
As a native slavic language speaker, rolling r's comes naturally to me, but I was still curious about people struggling with it. Since it comes naturally to me, I never noticed these little things such as the puff of air coming out of my mouth. Interesting.

Rolling r's didn't come naturally to me, for some reason... so yeah, a struggle, sometimes requiring a lot of practice using different methods
When I relax my tongue it falls down
A perspective from a trained vocalist. You´re going to whistle to a friend way across the street. Many thing happen in the body all at once but, we have to break them down. In slow motion, notice how your mouth changes as you start to form the lips to whistle. The tongue drops! That´s exactly what you want. It actually slightly curls. You´ll take in a deep breath and without realizing it, you pulled the air into your belly, not your chest. The ´rr´ flapping happens as the air rushes over the curled tongue which changes as the mouth opens and pulls down to make the r sound. Big rush of air, starting with rounded lips, pull down as you blast out. Flap away!

The sound of R in Spanish is really a tap D so you're probably doing just fine. My husband is a professor of Spanish.
Nice

place the tip of the tongue on the alveolar ridge, and blow harder! it gets easier with time and practice, try to relax as much as you can... Anywas as long as you place the tongue correctly and get a single tap, that's all you need. In the north of Argentina we don't actually roll the "rr" most native speakers have troubles with that cuz we don't use it. My mom made me practice since I was a kid, but I only do it sometemes, usually when I talk with people from other places.... and I nedd to practice from time to time so my muscles don't forget hahahah
i can roll my rs but i cant while i speak any tips?

Take it slow, try breaking the words down into different sounds and slowly speed up as you get the hang of it, good luck!!
You also roll your R's in Spanish on a word with a double R such as Perro or Corrida.
I can do it but only for a second I can’t hold it 😭
Why is the volume so low? I can roll, but not with chicle en la boca.
Smile!

@@babyseal2761 practice saying one two the dee. Try to say faster. Idea is to say 3 with tongue touching roof of mouth for an instant. Then I think it's a matter of relaxation of tongue
When I blow either my tongue doesn't move at all, or just goes forward and not back, doesn't vibrate

I can't say padre in spanish with the rolled R's, but I can roll my R's with certain words like permaneces. It doesn't make sense to me
@catherineburke7900
5 ай бұрын
this is probably because of the sound before or after. in padre it's an 'a' in which your tongue is at the bottom of your mouth but in permaneces the 'e' is already quite close to where you need it to be for the rolled r!

Me either.
This is a can of worms because what you're actually doing is trilling a /d/ consonant. The IPA chose to assign the 'R' symbol to the Trilled D, so we call it "R". This is because more languages use the symbol for that sound than for the 'er' sound that English has. In General American English and most English accents the IPA symbol is apparently /ɹ/ but the Clowns in charge want to keep calling it a consonant despite it having all the attributes and functionality of a vowel. I don't like Clowns. I reject the Clowns and call it a vowel. You can give a D-trill a single symbol but that seems to be a denial of what the sound truly is. The more logical symbol would be a /d/ with a diacritic indicating that it is trilled for a short or a long time.
ESTA BUENA LA VIEJA JAJAJA
I've always found it very easy. But then I'm know for having a lovely Rs!
Do we really need lessons in how to blow out?
