Roll my Rs… finally

I want to finally learn how to properly roll my rs in Spanish. Or other languages like Italian, Czech , or Thai.

I took some advice of trying to replace the 'r' which a 'd'. I watched a couple youtube videos that just said "try it" pretty much. There was a Youtube short that suggested taking the 'ara' sound out and try it seperately. There are english words like 'ladder' that replicate that tongue movement.

Okay so after watching the YouTube short I mentioned prior, my main practice has been trying to roll my r whenever I am driving just for a few minutes. I have tried rolling both inside and outside a word. Again, I am more or less comfortable doing it outside a word. I realized, my main issue with rolling inside a word is that I am not able to generate the tongue to roof of mouth action quick enough while maintaining a seal. So, my next step is to continually practice the following: Place the tip of my tongue against the roof of my mouth just behind my front teeth. Lightly touch the sides of my tongue to my upper side teeth to create a seal. Exhale a steady stream of air over the top of my tongue. Start making a fluttering sound with my tongue by lightly vibrating the tip against the roof of my mouth.

Beginning to be able to roll within a word slightly

I’ve realized that moving my tongue further back is better for the consistency of rolling my r. It isn’t as easy to get to that position but I think with practice that movement will get faster. I noticed this after doing my Pimsleur lessons in Spanish and really practicing the words where rolling of the r is needed

With the practice over the past few weeks and finding the best spot for my tongue, I am happy to call this goal complete. There is obvious improvement that can be made further but that just comes with more practice!
