How can I practice rolling my "R's" in Spanish?
I am finding very difficult to roll my R's in Spanish , such as in the word "el perro". Does any one know how I can get over this hurdle. Many thanks Rob

Luckily for me, I have never had a problem rolling my RR's (although I do have difficulties pronouncing other sounds), but my younger sister was absolutely incapable of rolling her RR's when she started learning Spanish. Her teacher told her to say "pot of tea" over and over as quickly as possible whenever she has a spare moment, and, rather to my surprise, it helped.
I was unable to roll my RR's when i first began. There are many ways to overcome this... however what i did was starting reading the bible out loud in spanish. I didn't understand it , but it allowed me to get used to the sound of my voice in spanish. As well as to get used to making the sounds of the words. As far as accents go, it helped me a lot.
