How to pronounce R in Spanish

[@musasfatty7628]

She's the teacher who helped me to learning Spanish thank God now I speak Spanish very well

[@HolaSpanish]

Gracias, saludos ;))

[@tomr5584]

Hola professora Brenda gracias por las lecciones de Espanol. I perfected rolling my r's. I am learning more every day when someone is speaking to fast I sometimes need to ask the person to slow down.

[@gregdk3791]

Muy útil. He completado el curso de Duolingo, y tengo unas habilidades en escribir y leer, y ahora es tiempo para aprender hablar y pronunciar el R es bastante difícil.

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Claro! Poco a poco puedes empezar a practicarla ❤️ ¡Buen trabajo!

[@autumnnorberg7534]

¡Gracias! Estoy aprendiendo español ahora mismo en mi universidad. Your videos help me a lot with practicing and goes over some things mi profesora misses.

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Cuánto me alegra! 🥰

[@supramentalmanifestation]

Chuleta loco (that's Panamian for wow), este video es viejo y básico, pero me ayudó mucho. Gracias Bren y equipo.

Top 3 difficult things for me as a native Danish speaker were: 1) Vast number of verb conjugations 2) Subjuntivo vs. indicativo 3) Pronunciation of trilled r

[@HolaSpanish]

Es muy común sentir que son los aspectos más difíciles del español. Con tiempo, paciencia y clases verás que empieza a ser más fácil con el tiempo. ¡Continúa Dan! ¡Estás haciendo un trabajo estupendo!

[@spanishwithisrael]

Thank you so much for this video! Perfect for my Spanish students. When 1 on 1 or when they need homework. Amazing work Brenda, from HOLA 👋 SPANISH!!! :)

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Hola! Excelente, gracias por compartir mi contenido ¡Un abrazo! ❤️

[@bugtracker152]

Wow! For me as a Ukrainian and Russian native speaker the trilled R is the way I commonly use it in my language. In fact the English R used to cause more issues for me when I was learning it.

[@andrewbreton7453]

As for me, the most difficult part in learning Spanish is conjugation of the tenses

[@HolaSpanish]

No te preocupes, solo necesitas un poco de práctica. Sé que lo harás increíble. Hola Spanish tiene muchos videos para ayudarte con tu español siempre que lo necesites. Un abrazo.

@@HolaSpanish Muchísimas gracias profesora Brenda

[@autumnnorberg7534]

Same!

[@philholding6975]

He estado trantando de hacer esto durante mas de veinte anos y todavia no puedo hacerlo. Hay alguna esperanza para mi !🤣🤣

[@ogurchik2446]

Well, I am a native Russian speaker and it's not a problem for me, but I can't normally pronounce " r " in English 😅

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Qué suerte que tienes el sonido en Ruso también! How lucky that you also have the same sound in Russian. Jajaja me too when I speak English

[@kennethschwartz898]

I enjoy your channel.. If I cannot do the RR trill, how should I pronounce an R at the beginning of a sentence or a RR in the middle. Should I make these sound like a tapped R or a regular Enlgish R

[@fernandogallegos6257]

Hola Brenda, the RR is very deficult para mi. Ay mas clases en que me puede recomendar?

[@zeigbert1743]

I knew I was ODing on Spanish lessons when I started rolling the rs in English.

[@HolaSpanish]

jajajaja ohhhh ¡Es genial!

[@johngonzalez4298]

The double 'rr' is difficult for me to do at times. Sometimes I can roll it and sometimes I can't but I have had that problem always in Spanish

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Te entiendo! A seguir practicando 💟

[@johngonzalez4298]

@@HolaSpanish Por supuesto 🙏🏻😊

[@ivomoreira42]

Although Portuguese (at least in my native accent) doesn't have this trilled R, it's not that difficult for me to make that sound in "perro" or "carro", but when it comes at the beginning of a word, as in "rato", or after "s" (Israel), "l" (alrededor) and "n" (enriquecer), uff, ellos me ponen nervioso... jajaja

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Guau! ¡Qué interesante! Claro, es que tiene mucho sentido por la pronunciación del portugués y la costumbre de la ubicación de la lengua en el paladar antes de esas consonantes que hacen que pueda ser un poco más difícil. Solo con práctica y paciencia ya verás como te sale mejor Ivo!

[@ivomoreira42]

@@HolaSpanish ¡Siiií, gracias! Estoy seguro que una hora o otra ¡lograré hacerlos bien! 😊

[@HolaSpanish]

@@ivomoreira42 ¡Esa es la actitud!

[@autumnnorberg7534]

I'm the opposite but I'm a native English speaker so maybe that makes a difference lol. I can do the trilled R at the beginning of a word but the double RR in the middle of a word is hard for me.

[@chesterwillger7017]

I wish someone would make a video on how to sound when it is impossible for you to roll your R's. :(

[@HolaSpanish]

Chester, chester, chester... Mi amigo!!! ¡No pierdas las esperanzas! Don't lose hope if you feel you can't pronounce your Rs in Spanish. This is if not THE MOST frustrating experience for most students who start speaking Spanish. I don't want you to be discouraged, remember, the more you try, the more you practice the easier it will get. And even if you think you can't do it at the beginning, just trying will make a huge difference for your listener and Spanish speakers will understand you're saying 'perro' and not 'pero', for example. Also, context is our best friend and it will also help to make sense of what you're saying. I love your suggestion though, I'm thinking what I'll do is run a 'rolling your RRRRs in Spanish Bootcamp' in our Hola Spanish Community Facebook group. I think it will certainly help. Are you a member of our group? it's free to join

[@chesterwillger7017]

I think I'm a member of that group. I might try a boot camp for this but I have been working on this for almost 4 years now. I think if I say the word "butter" one more time I'll turn into a stick.

[@HolaSpanish]

Yes! I can see you're in the group which is great. I'll tag you in the rolling the Rs challenge in the group and see if we can help you with the pronunciation. Muchas gracias por comentar :) Thank you for your comments

[@gideonmbokoso7499]

Muchas grasias teacher

[@kennethschwartz898]

i can do a flapped r but have trouble if there is another on shortly after. E.g. reparar.. How do I train my tongue to do this rapidly

[@chiranjitsamanta7478]

Me llamo bitan......Muchas gracias 😊

[@kemarumasan]

Muchas gracias :) (Y)

[@HolaSpanish]

De nada :)

[@deeshewakramani7758]

The most difficult part of learning spanish is while writing the words like V Or B both sounds as B ..so we keep asking B de burro or V de vaca

[@HolaSpanish]

It's very true! It's hard to know if a word is spelled with B larga or V corta only by hearing someone say it for the first time in Spanish because as you mentioned it with pronounce both with a soft B. Thank you so much for you comment and for watching! ¡Muchas gracias!

[@kencorder3696]

Hola Brenda, Yo soy Ken, llevo cinco años (más o menos) aprendiendo español y me he enseñado a mi mismo. Todavia no puedo pronunciar la doble r. He visto muchos videos que te enseñan a pronunciar la r. ¿Puedes aconsejarme sobre qué otra cosa puedo probar? Tambien, tengo problemas en general hablando. ¡ayudame! Ken

[@HolaSpanish]

¡Hola Ken! Es muy común y le pasa a muchos estudiantes, así que por favor no te desanimes y continúa intentando. Aún si haces el intento es mejor y seguramente los hispanohablantes puedes entenderte. Si quieres mejorar tu pronunciación y hablar más fluido en español te recomiendo nuestro curso en línea.

[@BLAKHARTFILM]

The most difficult part of learning Spanish for me, is remembering any of it. The second most difficult is the grammar. Even my English grammar is bad.

[@BLAKHARTFILM]

@White чёрный I am going to guess that your mother tongue is Russian. By your comment, it looks like your English is just as good as most native English speakers. The grammar, sentence structure, capitalization and spelling that appears on social media, is absolutley atrocious.

[@caseyf2896]

I realized I couldn't just skip the rr when I came across las palabras carro y caro lol it's one of the issues learning Spanish on duolingo there's no one there to tell you to stop being lazy practice makes perfect

[@nidalabed5685]

My native language is Arabic so no problem at all with the R because we pronounce it the way you pronounce it in Spanish. But it was a problem for me when I was a child, I kept saying L instead of R until age 5 I think 😆 Where I grew up most children struggle with the R and don't get to say it correctly until age 5 or 6 some even take longer, and there a few who can never pronounce it correctly in their entire life ( we even have a name for those who can't pronounce the letter R 🤣) . So yeah I understand why this letter is so difficult for many people especially if it was not there in their native language.. . We also have the Kh sound like in Mejor and Gente. To me Spanish sounds very straightforward and natural because it doesn't have many vowels like French and Turkish for example. And last but not least.. Spanish songs and music are absolutely may favorite even when I didn't understand the meaning.. it just goes straight in my blood 🤣🤣

[@gideonmbokoso7499]

Waooh..numbers are quiet difficult..

[@SuperTheresa12]

R. Is difficult for me.

[@seaairuh1376]

the most difficult part is thinking in Spanish

[@disarmsox]

Unable to make this rr sound, I have to avoid saying certain words such as perro etc.

[@tompeled6193]

Touch your tongue to the top of your bottom teeth, and then make /r/.

[@Itzsylia]

I can't rr, I do it with my throat instead of my tongue

[@chesterwillger7017]

I can't twirl my r's I've tried for years and I can not even come close

[@HolaSpanish]

Keep on practicing! Practice makes perfect! And don't worry too much if you can't make the sound because people'll find your accent cute :)

[@jannysarloa9703]

Music is too loud.

[@rolandkel7696]

Just like that.

[@waldirrodrigues2623]

Dulce eres tu.

[@jamesblackburn9145]

after 2 years i still can't do it.

[@HolaSpanish]

I'm so glad you're still trying, remember that it's not an easy sound to produce for most English speakers but I assure you that even when you try it makes a difference and 'perro' sounds different to 'pero' when you try to trill or roll your Rs. Don't give up and keep going James!

Why are these Spanish teacher so hot? I can't concentrate on lessons😊😂

[@jasonwonderboy6054]

So hard to pronounce double r sound.
