I'm starting to agree with this

What a coincidence im watching olympics right now

@@HereComesThe-Sun lol true and I STILL can't roll my r's even after my comment months ago.. tried for 3.5 hours today, will try again tomorrow

before when i first saw this i was like no way but now im actually starting to believe it.

And later native English speakers want the whole world to speak their language. Haha.

Robert Toe 😂😂😂😂😂😂

MsFlamingFlamer I also give Spanish lessons check out learn Spanish with Robert toe on u tube

Actually I have woken up because of my lip flapping, but I can't do it while I'm awake.

100PercentOS2 I guess when you're relaxed. it's effortless to do just like my grandpa. they should invent a method of learning how to speak Spanish while sleeping 😆😆😆😆

Robert Toe hahahahahah

Lol

You're not alone.

How's it going now?

me too

Jenny Bear n

i can teach you I'm a native spanish speaker

Joshua Griffin same 😭😭😭

Yep. Same here. Been trying daily for 2 months. Seen practically every single video. Simply cannot do it.

Yo soy Argentina y no le entiendo

Glad to hear that! Practice is definitely the key. I remember saying random 'r' words as I was doing laundry, etc... :) The phrase that you wrote is difficult for me too! N before an 'r' can be tricky (un ramo). Also, if there is a word that ends in 's' and the next word starts with 'r', Hispanics will tend to leave out the 's' or aspirate it (pronounce it with a puff of air). This is because your tongue hits the same part in your mouth for /s/ and /r/, so it's almost impossible to say together. Therefore, 'rosas rojas' might sound a little more like 'rosa rojas".

I just died lmao

charlie.s check out learn Spanish with Robert toe on u tube .if you like give it a sub and I'll sub back. 😆

Fabio Restrepo Muñoz what do you mean my passing I'm still kicking .the only passing I did was pass gas 😆

Fabio Restrepo Muñoz what do you mean my passing I'm still kicking. the only passing I 've done is pass gas 😆

+Sariah Mevs there's surgery my friend (:

+Sariah Mevs spanish "R" to me RrRrRrRrRrR english "R " to me rrrr french "R " to me kkkrrrrrrrr

Sariah Mevs I did practice practice and practice of rolling Spanish r, than I got the French r😂😂

same, I should just drop the class and try to see if anyone will teach me French.

same, this is why at some point I preferred learning German over the Spanish i learned at school. My spanish accent sounds so wrongggg

+DosGordosEnMoto you don' t have to be anglophone to have difficulty...even some spaniards of south american can't do it

Anthony Ruiz OMG FINALLY SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT I MEAN WHEN IT JUST HAPPENENS IN MY THROAT

That’s exactly what happened when I tried to do trilled r

Same🤦‍♀️ Have the biggest exam in 2 weeks to 1 month and 2 weeks(not sure due to corona) and I NEED TO GET IT

Yeah, ditto, and/or I sound French (at least to my English ears). It's difficult for me to fathom why anyone would optionally make this a mainstay of a language. It doesn't even seem (to me at least) like a natural sound to make. I'd never tried to do this in my entire life before attempting Spanish!

Your not the only one.. frustation is real! 😪😪😪

Hermit Same it's stressing me out so so much 😭

Same. My tongue won't even vibrate slightly.

I have been doing this for more than a week

any results? @@juby6381

I failed my Spanish Test because I couldn’t roll my r’s. Feels bad man

I can make it vibrate but it sounds more like a soft almost silent english thhhhh with a small r sound. Not the one in the video how she did it, if there is anything im doing wrong tell me how to fix it. I want to learn latin and been trying for a few weeks but i really didn't make much of a progress. Do i got to use a bit of sound from my throat or something?

French R is more difficult than spanish :v. You need to use your throat in french to pronounce it. But for the spanish you need to use your tongue.

@@pak3ton spanish r is harder. I'm Hispanic and I can do a french rr but not a freaking spanish or russian rr

I'm having the same problem as a native english speaker who studied french throughout primary/secondary school.

same tho

im mexican and cant roll my roll my R's either uhhh its frustrating

Mexican - American or a Mexicana.

for shaaaame

Same

Hi Vick. When I first started making the sound, it sounded really forced too! Practice helped me control my airflow. When I first started, my airflow was really strong (to get my tongue to vibrate), but it sounded a little unnatural. After I got the vibrating motion down, I could make my airflow a little weaker and still get my tongue to vibrate, which sounded more natural. I also practiced the sound in varying levels of complexity, like in my video. (Ex: I practiced words with 'rr' in the middle a lot, because I tended to pause before the 'rr'. "Pe-rro". I eventually got to the point where I didn't have to pause). Recording yourself is a wonderful tool too! It can help you become more aware of your speech patterns and which 'rr's sound the best to you. You can look up practice words and practice sentences to record.

the first time i said perro i accedently rolled my tounge thanks.

ust try to listen to a native speaker and repeat as long as you can

+Hugo Chavez cant understand why do you need to master R sound as a kid. We, russians get it naturally with no problems

Same

Same+2 XD

Your Spanish (at least written) is simply flawless, only one problem you constantly use the verb "ser" instead of "estar" when you're talking of situational, temporal things, such as being relaxed. All the things that are temporary or situational are always with "estar". But again, everything is else is perfect, congratulations!

+Luciano Benvenuto I thought that we didn't have problems with the english's R... Agt least It isn't as hard as the RR for the english speakers.

+Alejandro Matos Anguis but when it comes to trying to speak as a native, you would realise that our R doesn't sound natural at all. Try it out by yourself by saying mirror repetitively! xD

Luciano Benvenuto Well... I have practiced a lot, I have been studying and using english for about 10 years and I believe the way to pronounce it is... Fast, but I am not really sure. Until I don't find a native speaker who tells me, I won't really know XD

well yes.. the what I meant is to no one, either natives or not, notes that you are not an english speaker. Speaking could be easy after a while, but the elephant in the room is speaking fluently and sounding as a native :P

+Alejandro Rodriguez Muchas gracias! :-)

ElPailaFederal Haha really ? omg 😂

Risa Yamanaka lol... keep practicing :), "peddo" means fart in spanish

I think it's OK for "Pero" to say it that way. But I can get 2 or 3 taps of my tongue for "Perro" which sounds close. But I know that isn't the solution but the best I can do.

try to imitate the sound of a motor ..like a motorcycle

I do the same thing!! Did you fix it?

@@bazkid5739 It took a lot of practicing, probably six months after posting the message above, probably almost 18 months total. I tried different methods and most importantly, getting feedback from a lot of Latino friends who were keen on helping figure this out. In this video, 4:19 to 4:52 were useful for me. Don't touch the tongue to the teeth or alveolar ridge before starting to blow air. One friend had me say "dinosaurio" because it formed the mouth in the correct position (for me at least) to begin trilling. Another friend said if I was doing a sustained trill properly, my tongue, lips and front of my face would be vibrating madly. Also people talk about the position of the tongue relative to the alveolar ridge, for me touching my tongue to the inside of my top teeth, then pulling back slightly so my tongue could vibrate freely worked. So that would put my tongue on that part of the ridge that is horizontal, directly behind the top front teeth and nowhere near where the alveolar ridge starts to ascend. What also helped me was using the diaphragm to increase the force and volume of air blowing across the top of your tongue. Finally try with different mouth shapes, smiling and also in the form when whistling. Based on all the videos, different things work for different people. You've got it when your lips are vibrating instead of your throat.

i had this problem too, i think around 4:30 explains the trilled "r" tongue movement pretty well. you aren't trying to make a noise with your tongue or even shape your mouth much, it's basically just breathing out that makes the noise as air vibrates against the tongue. i kept messing up by beginning words with my tongue actually resting on the ridge behind my top teeth. the tongue shouldn't be touching the ridge, just almost hovering over it. i still don't have it entirely down yet but at least the whole concept is starting to finally make some sense to my natively english-speaking brain now! lol i've watched 5 or 6 different videos on how to do this now so try that too if you haven't already bc the variance in techniques/demonstrations is probably what's most helpful. sorry this was so long, aha 😅

@@lachrymarum_ hey, one later... were you able to make it? :) can you provide more insights?

That's exactly what I thought when I tried rolling my R in the back of my mouth.

+bayu setiadi And what is your language?

Alejandro Matos Anguis i believe dutch

So. I'm just saying rice in spanish and dog. XD

Arroz y perro :D

I feel my tongue vibrating a little but it sounds like I'm sighing.

SOLUTION: drop Spanish and learn French lol
