How do you roll your R's when speaking spanish?

Question

How do you roll your R's when speaking spanish? Is there an easy way to do it?

Answer 1

Lightly touch the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth, open your lips, and blow out. This will make a "motorboat" sound. Practice this until you can do little tiny bursts of it. That's a rolled "r". Ferrorcarril (railroad) is a good word to practice with.

Don't even think of the English 'r'. The two sounds are not related at all.

Okay. I will try that. Thanks. - bri_cole, MAY 17, 2010

Answer 3

Try to use a pen buy putting the end nto you mouth and then trying to roll your "R's" That is what my spanish teacher taught me.

Okay. So using the pen would be an easy way to learn how to roll your R's? - bri_cole, MAY 17, 2010
