I'm Dutch and for Dutch I trill my r's in my throat. But for Spanish it's NOT correct at all, and it sounds weird to Spaniards. I had a hard time trilling my r's with my tongue, but I pulled it off with a lot of practicing. Wayne; try not to do that. I’m Dutch and for Dutch I trill my r’s in my throat.

Very specific and very technical. For me, on some words like Carro, it's easier to vibrate the back of my throat like a grrrrrr instead of trilling my tongue behind my teeth. That's the part that I'm having to practice on. Saying it right, instead of easy. Yup. Very specific and very technical.

I didn't know that about Beyoncé. LOL. There's some audio and some visual over at this link: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/ It can seem a little technical but it may be of help to some people. Yeah, all good tips.

It is truly appreciated. I had 3 years of Spanish in high school, but I remember very little. Growing up in South Dakota I never really had the chance to use the language. I did enjoy your little tongue twisters! Thanks for commenting on my blog, Daily Adventures in a Semi-Boring Life. It is truly appreciated.

Try it, and then (at the fourth step of the link I've provided) try saying this: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/sounds/index.asp?sound=235 I don’t want to plug anything, but try following these steps: http://spanish-only.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-to-roll-your-r.html

If you see or hear of one, it would be great to throw it up here. I found a video on youtube with almost the same verses, but being said by a white girl that wasn’t doing very well.
