How do I speak "rr" sound...?

Question

Hi, I have been studying Spanish for about 6 months, but still I can't speak "rr" sound well...

I have searched many ways to try out, but none of them have not worked.

If you have your method, please share with me. Thanks

Answer 1

The rr sound is the most difficult part of Spanish pronunciation. It takes practice. It took me about 2 weeks of self-practice to make my tongue flap decently so then I could make that sound anytime I read it. It´s still tricky to pronounce words like farrocarril as quickly as a native would.

Answer 2

It is really simpe sound, it just has a long rolling "R" sound. For exmple: "Perro, Zorro, o Carro"

Answer 3

I was taught to put the toungue lightly behind the front teeth and blow out letting the air cause the rolling or flapping. I practiced by repeating the phrase: "Que rapido corren los carros del farrocarril."

(edit ...I mean ferrocarril....d'oh!)
