True story! How I learned to roll my R’s in Spanish! 

I have been trying my whole life to trill my r's to no avail. I've watch many videos with exercises that I practiced & without success. I decided to give your tongue twister a try today after watching your video, and I'm doing it FINALLY! Thank you from the bottom of my heart bc I really was getting discouraged!

I’m Scottish so the R comes naturally to me. 😂

sounds Latina

Hey what is the meaning of the tongue twister provide by u?

That's great to hear. I'm so glad it helped.

I couldn't roll my r's until I was 21 years old. That phrase, "pot of tea" is exactly how I learned to do so after hearing someone mention it on a morning radio show.

SAME!!

i don’t get to you say “pot of tea”

Did this video help you to roll your R’s?! 🙌🏼

@@skillabration-school yes and the butter one too

@@merqueztm that's amazing! Thank you so much for letting me know.

you p

@@skillabration-school I know how to trill my r’s , but it’s for me to combine them together with a word. Do you have any tips?

i tried two years ago when I was learning Latin and I could only do the throaty trill, and I would try a few times in a year as well today I was just lying there and trying to speak in Indian accent 😂 and when I said Run and it was an Eureka moment, I’ve finally done it.

I tried in and off for 17 years. I am 34 years old now and I just learned it

Awesome! Keep it up, and let us know when you get it!

Literally me 💀🙏

same smhh

My friends and family and everyone I’ve ever met can do it and I’m just like rdrdrdrd??!

As im sitting in the living room dooong the same thing but there in the room w mi☠️

That’s so awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing. 🤩

Place your tongue where you would start saying the letter t, but say it over and over really fast. Like tttttttttttt. Ok now try to say perro. Break it into two parts. Per and ro. Say it slow and work it up gradually This helps me.

​@angrypastabrewing this def helps!! It kinda sounds like an L but it's better than the mono perro

something similar happened to me. I never learned to roll my Rs and idk why bc Spanish is my first language so like I should've learned??? idk why I never did but I hope this exercise helps me finally learn lol

Any success? ​@@MM-bx4iv

Question how are u supposed to make Ur tongue vibrate, whilst flapping it ?????

I made a clip with just the tongue twister here: ru-vid.comx8OB110otr0?si=Kg5zCZ6Vlju3YwcX

Yay!

Woo hoo!

Oh shit! I was too until I read your comment

Where's my tounge suppose to go cause I still can't do it? 😭

@@DestinyDelgado-hs7dkme neither

LETS GO BABY!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

YAY!!

@@itsmeaiden8788 SO DID I!

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback.

That’s so nice to hear! I’m thrilled you found it useful. ❤️

Yassss!

How long did it take you to master the Spanish R? I’m struggling

@@Soy-Hammad2649 maybe a week lay on your couch and let your head hang back it off the edge. it makes your tongue heavier, i know its weird but it helped.

@@ili.ili_oxenfreebeen so frustrated trying to get it and this literally helps so much. Thank u lol

So, I just attempted this as a non-native speaker. If I press my lips together, I'm not able to do it. Your jaw has to be slightly dropped in order for your tongue to lift up and trill. So your lips can be closed as long as your jaw is slightly dropped, you can still do it. I don't think it's about native vs non native. It's about the placement of your mouth and tongue.

im somewhat of a native speaker since i grew up speaking only Spanish with family. I can do it but not as good as with my moth fully open

R sounds need to blow air outside your mouth so it might be difficult since you have to release the air.

I can do it with my mouth closed, but it lasts just one second. Nevertheless, that's useless. 😂

I'm native spanish and i can trill the R but the sound can't be listened like with the mouth opened

Yay! Love hearing that! 😄

Unlike everything else i find

Woo hoo! Congrats!

Woohoo!

Did this tutorial help? 😅

@@skillabration-school det hjalp å rulle min R på norsk fordi når du ruller den er den veldig lik den spanske R. veldig bra video å lære av deg

It sounds like you may have the position of your mouth and tongue a bit wrong. Keep working on the tongue twisters to get the positioning right.

Keep us posted how it goes! 🤓

@@skillabration-school will do 🙌

​​@thebatman3905 any updates?

@@thebatman3905did you learn how to?

​@@josedelion6971I apologize for late reply. I've been practicing for 5 mins a day and my rolling Rs sounds has improved! I'm still practicing so I can say more words 😎

Are you gargling? If yes, your tongue is in the back of your mouth rather than the front. Watch the extended video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cCk6WqFlgiY.html

R in English has a different placement than the R in Spanish. That’s why the “pot of tea” phrase helps. So, I don’t think it should affect you with rolling your R.

Woohoo! Congrats! 🎉

Yes, I made that version awhile ago. Here it is: ru-vid.comx8OB110otr0?si=Kg5zCZ6Vlju3YwcX

Happy to help!

Woohoo!

Practice makes perfect. Also, not every R needs to be rolled. You have a stronger trill at the beginning and end of words, or a double R in the middle of a word. Don’t give up!

@@rk064 lol Try it with an American accent. 😂

Not every word requires a trill. I’m not 100% what you mean by transitioning from dr, tr, to r. If there is an R in the beginning of a word, you and roll the R. If it’s in a word like caro (expensive), you don’t hear the trill as much. You hear it more in carro (car). When you pronounce caro just ensure the tip of your tongue is behind your two front teeth in the same position as the T when you say “pot of tea”.

@@skillabration-school I got my tongue pierced since, so that kinda put a challenge into it. Basically yeah I think I mean the trrr and drrr put your tongue in the position it needs to be in to roll it proper, how would you do it when it's a word that doesn't set your tongue ☺️.

You don’t have to roll your R with tardes. Not every R is supposed to be rolled. Double R’s, like perro, burro, corre, are rolled. R’s at the beginning or end of a word can be rolled. A single R in the middle of a word isn’t rolled, but the tongue is still in the same position as explained in the video. If you just say Tar over and over you’ll notice your tongue start to vibrate a bit if you say it SUPER fast. But you don’t need to roll it for tardes.

@@skillabration-school thanks teach nikki

I’ve had many students do the same thing. It’s more like gargling than rolling your R’s. Watch part 2 for more practice tips. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cCk6WqFlgiY.html

😂

Good things don't come easy. Don't give up!

If it’s in your throat, you need to switch the position of your tongue. Drop your jaw a bit, re-listen to the steps in the video.
