How to roll or trill your rs

Rolling or trilling your r not only makes you sound like a native, it turns one word into another.

The letter ro is rolled dramatically in Spanish and Indonesian. I am learning Spanish, one of the world's easiest languages, to read, but slightly challenging to speak. 

 - perro is Spanish for dog with a trilled r, but pero, for the word but.

Perfect Your Pronunciation

I am still struggling to roll my rs. I shall get there eventually. I keep googling and trying new videos. The last I found was a lady with a pencil horizontally between her teeth. I have worked out that your tongue is behind your top teeth. But the trick is to relax and  blow and keep repeating it. But I can only get it every third blow by accident. I need to be able to do it deliberately every time, perfectly controlled, and strongly.

Here are the links to the man using it dramatically

and the lady demonstrating - she is one of many on video showing you.
