How can one learn to roll the r's

Question

As hard as I try, I just don't seem to be able to roll my "r's". Has anyone with the same problem been able to learn this? Any tips are appreciated.

Answer 1

The possibility exist that you might have to undergo a simple operation called a "lingual frenectomy" the piece of flesh "frenum" under the front of your tongue which acts as a brake might be to short and does not allow the tongue to move freely. I myself had to undergo this procedure when I was 6 or 7 took two procedures, my father and his side of the family had the same problem, and with a name like FERRARO it was not too funny.
