How to Trill Your R

Trilling your R is just hard, especially for many English speakers, and I teach one of the ways you can achieve a trilled R. Don't get frustrated if you can't do it right the first time. Trilling takes practice, but most people can achieve this trill with enough time and patience. Good luck!

After practicing that for hours, I found myself unable to pronounce "three" in English.

"practice when you're alone when no one can hear you and wonder what the heck are you doing" is the best sentence i've heard in a while

I always sound less like a Spanish speaker and more like a machine gun when I try this.

Okay guys, i was trying very hard to learn how to trill r's, and all these youtube videos were getting me close, but were not good enough. So i noticed that if you hold your tongue behind your teeth (barely touching) and touching the roof of your mouth and say "green" you will hear a trill there (if you are doing it right). So just note how that happened and try the words that LatinTutorial says " Ah- Rah, Eh- Reh, Ir- Rih, and Oh - Roh @ 3:15 . I hope this helps!

I'm Italian and never been able to say it properly... It makes me feel so frustrated even 5 years old children can pronounce it properly and I can't!

[jjaapp]

Ugh, you say to just let it flap, but that's the issue with most people who can't figure out how to roll their R's. The hell do you need to do to get it to flap? Do you have to breath out harder? Do you have to manually flap it at first?

[PaigeWatts]

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR MONTHS AND I DID IT FIRST TIME WITH THIS VIDEO. OMG THANK YOU!!!

[HOOCHY_DADDY]

What do you mean "let" it flap?? It doesn't flap regardless of what I do, let alone trying to let it do it on its own.

And then there is me, a guy who grew up with parents speaking German while learning English in school and spending most of his time watching English videos and on English websites, with a grandma who used Yiddish, Polish and Hungarian terms when speaking and a great-grandmother who mixed low and high German 😅
The repertoire of sounds I can produce is marvelous, at least that's what my music teacher once told me while rehearsing for choir.

What the hell are you talking about flap your tongue? you just say flap it and do the trill sound. Fucking excellent tutorial.
