Ok for all those that never could after watching all these videos...here's what finally worked for me. Start out making the zzzz sound, then move your tongue to the roof of your mouth while you are making the zzz sound. Once you can hold your tongue in the right place while making the zzzz sound, keep your tongue there and try to add in the k sound with the sides and back of your tongue while making the zzz sound if that makes sense. Edited to add this video is the one that helped me most, but I had to experiment on my own to finally get it. I'm still working on adding it to words though. It's very breathy atm.

Hola y gracias por una maravillosa idea. Lo he usado antes durante algunos años, pero por diferentes razones: tuve que usarlo para mejorar mis habilidades de venta telefónica y escuchar mis propias palabras fue una excelente manera de cambiar para mejor. Practicaré mi español, me escucharé y lo agregaré a mi rutina cotidiana antes del trabajo. ¡Gracias!

The 'X que + you/him/they/etc' formula will always trigger the subjunctive: Espero que + any other people but yourself Deseo que.... Es importante que... Es possible que... Etc. Cuando + you/he/they/etc is also another trigger Cuando puedas.... Etc. The 'it's a desire or a wish' explanation we always hear from non-native speakers is not the best way to look at it.

this video is MIRACULOUS!!!!! I have tried to learn how to roll my r's so many times and I almost didn't believe it when you said that slowly the tongue would start to vibrate more, but it actually happened. It feels almost as though my tongue is learning its own though hundreds of repetitions. Thank you!!!!

Coming back here having watched this a few weeks ago. I personally didn't find the ara trick that helpful, but I'm glad to see it working for so many people! What helped me actually was realizing (from this video) how to do the tr sound by pronouncing the t with my tongue near my teeth instead of in the back of my mouth. Thus, I suddenly understood how to say words like "tren", so I practiced saying words with a tr as that felt like a benchmark. Then yesterday, I said "tren" and noticed the r kind of sounded rolled. So I was trying other words and suddenly I was rolling my rs! I honestly wasn't even trying to roll my rs by doing the tr thing, but I'm glad it worked and I thought I'd share it here. Good luck to those who are learning.

@@BreakthroughSpanish Thanks, I figured as such, so I thought it would be helpful if there happens to be someone like me :) I think that what they have in common is that they both start with focusing on the tapped r and intuitively figuring out which tongue placement feels right, which requires a combination of practicing as well as listening to know what the right sound is. I also think that proper pronunciation of other Spanish vowels helped for me too. Even now, I still feel like I'm guessing when using words like "caro", but less so for words like "barato", so I imagine that it just depends on which sounds the learner latches onto early on. I am curious though if there tend to be trends on what sounds are considered "easier" although my searches online seem to show that it's all over the place with some people finding words that start with r to be easier while others are like me and found r after a consonant to be easier. Anyways, I'm obviously not a Spanish teacher and I only successfully rolled an r two days ago, but having been a teacher for a few years now in other subjects, I have experience with different students understanding a concept in their own way, before eventually understanding it more fully, so I'm curious if it's similar here too.

The most fun thing for me in learning Spanish is consuming Spanish and understanding it. Unfortunately I have a really hard time with conversational comprehension (sub 25%) versus understanding a newscast (+75% now), and written articles like news, sports are pretty easy now (90%). The advice teacher gave here I plan to follow. I have some added thoughts on things I did to increase simple consumption: At gym, set language on the equipment to Spanish. Set your phone, app and email settings to Spanish (yep you’ll learn the word “contraseñas” and “pestañas” (does not mean eyelashes only lol). And then set ATM preferences to Spanish (nothing like incurring an extra $3 fee to encourage you to get things right). And finally your patient portal…maybe not advisable if you are sick, lol. Siri, your car, youtube, customer service at your phone company…all happy to text or talk to you in Spanish. Let them! I pay my celular vendor alot, why not make them communicate with me in Spanish?!

Hi, I'm fom México City and of course Spanish is my first language, to make a long story short, you need to practice and force your tongue everyday whenever you have time, until the double rr sound finally comes out. Maybe it will take 2 weeks or 5 months, but eventually it will happen, don't give up. I had a girlfriend from the US years ago and she told me it took her 2 months.

holy fuck, after 30 years of giving up on ever rolling my R's I'm already getting a little roll after just finishing this 12 min video doing the whispered 'ara's EDIT: Also I find that if you're having trouble it helps if you look up at the ceiling. You can feel your tongue get pulled back a little bit which helps you get the tip of the relaxed tongue into place easier.
