Troublesome trills....

Troublesome trills....

Like many people learning Spanish I'm finding trilling troublesome ...funnily enough I can do it when the word is in "isolation" but not when it's part of a sentence...And, yes, I can hear you now - Practise! Practise! Practise!


Anyway, I thought perhaps if I made up one of my own, it might help and so my troublesome trill is...


El perro del Roma recomienda correr rápida cuando cruzar del ferrocarril.


Want to add your own troublesome trill? Go right ahead and I'll have a go at that one as well wink

That is one of my favourite episodes - so, yes, perhaps I'm guilty of plagiarism :( - nonombre, Nov 19, 2010

Roberto y Enrique paseaban alrededor de la reja. Querian entregar el recado, pero la cosa estaba tan enredada que optaron por esperar una hora más. No estaban enterado de que estaba enterrado el rico que había residido en ese barrio de Roma. Ere on ere cigarro, ere con ere barril, rápido corren los carros cargdos de azúcar del ferrocarril.

I would like to find a way to avoid ever having to say 'ahorraría' lol so I suppose that's the one I should wrok on!

Si no comprara veinteitrés perros marrones ahorraría mucho dinero pero estaría aburrida.

Is that okay? Quite a few 'r's there.

I see what you mean - the silent "h", then the "rr" followed up by "r" - yes, to be avioided at all costs :( - nonombre, Nov 19, 2010
But, yes, a trilling sentence to die for :o - nonombre, Nov 19, 2010
