Rolling RR - need help, have some questions
Buenos dias ;)
I'm having some problems with pronouncing the RR.
In fact, I just can't do it. I tried many things that i've seen on youtube, but it dosn't work...
It's obvious that the tip of the tongue has to vibrate, but what about the rest of the tongue?
If you would roll the RRrrrr, und stop moving your tongue - what would that sound like? Does it sound like Aaaaa, Eeee, or nothing at all?
I mean, do you make a sound besides the tongue vibration?
What are the sides of the tongue doing? Do they touch the upper teeth? Or is there a gap between the tongue and the teeth?
Btw., i'm german, and I pronounce the german r with my throat, and I don't roll it.
I can somehow make the tongue vibrate, but only by creating vibriations in the throat as well - which is wrong (?)
Maybe you can helpe me ;)
thanks a lot
