Are you able to trill the Spanish "rr" sound?

I'm Cuban, so of course I can do it.

I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't able to. D:

QuoteMy brother can't, and just makes a D sound and sounds like a d**chebag lol

Actually saying a d-like sound is closer to saying "rr" correctly than trying to pronounce it with the English "r".

A lot of people practice by saying words like "gotta", "better", etc.

I thought you said you were Puerto Rican.

QuoteGargle with water in your mouth.

No, that would produce the French/German uvular R, not the alveolar trill.

QuoteWait, you have to have a GENE to be able to roll your tounge into a hot dog like style? 0_o

That's what people say, but you technically can overcome it.
I only post in Power On.

No...

You're probably thinking of the person who said it on the first page.

HTA!

Southern Accent + Rolling R's doesn't mix.
Never will.
And I'm taking Spanish too.... :|
