But a good exercise to prepare is actually lip trills. Once you do your lip trills, you should also feel some of the vibration in your tongue. Remember that your tongue should be like a leaf blowing in the wind and relaxed, not super ridge and trying to tap quickly. The same article also outlines several completely different methods to learn to roll and trill your R.
Try each of these methods and you are bound to find one that works for you! Having it explained visually as well as audibly can help a lot.
Please make mistakes NOW and try to say something — you have plenty of time to tidy it up towards something better, and these mistakes will not be burnt into you forever if you are truly willing to learn.
The truth is, the more you listen to the sound being made, the easier it will become to try and mimic it. The best thing you can do by far is to meet up with a native or at least over Skype and ask them for help with this.
Live feedback from language exchanges or a tutor that is relevant to you and particular problems you are having can do so much more than generic explanations ever can. And it leaves no room for you guessing that maybe you've got it. It was frustrating at first, then I went away to practise, and came back for more adjustments. But that was it! The bottom of the mouth along with the teeth and lips should provide all the necessary surfaces for the tongue taco shape. Flatten your tongue to cover the bottom of your mouth.
Try to touch all three sides don't worry about the back of your mouth at the same time. Stretch your tongue so you are applying pressure to each side. You may even feel like your tongue is going under your teeth. Curl the edges of your tongue independently. Now try to move each side of your tongue independently.
Keep your tongue flattened. With pressure on each side of your mouth, release one side a little and move it up that side of the mouth.
For example, while keeping pressure on the left side, attempt to touch your teeth with the right side. Try touching the top of your mouth. Switch to the other side and do the same thing. Curl the edges of your tongue together. As you learn to move each side independently you will gain more tongue dexterity.
Hold your tongue down flat and move one side up. Then move the other side. You should now be holding your tongue flat while the sides are touching each side of your mouth on or above your teeth. If you look in the mirror, you will see your tongue is beginning to fold. If you look in the mirror and your tongue doesn't appear to look flat, keep practicing flattening your tongue and moving the sides independently.
What's happening is you are using muscles in the middle of your tongue to raise your tongue. These muscles should be holding your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. Push your tongue out while holding its shape. Once you open your mouth you should have the start of your tongue taco shape inside. As you push your tongue out of your mouth, keep pressure on the sides. Press the bottom of your tongue against your bottom front teeth.
As your tongue exits, use your lips to hold the round shape. You may find it easier to keep your tongue wrapped around something like a drinking straw as you push your tongue out. Keep the sides of your tongue against the sides of the straw. If you feel the bottom of your tongue pushing the straw up and away from the sides, back up and regain your tongue's shape.
Keep trying until you don't need the straw at all. Method 2. You need to keep your tongue flat as much as possible while practicing this clover shape. Make a taco with your tongue inside your mouth. If you are unable to make a taco shape, practice that first. You should be able to make and hold a taco shape without any support. This means if you still need your lips to hold the taco shape, you are not ready for this trick. Put the tip of your tongue against the bottom of your two front teeth.
The goal here is to practice moving the tip independently of the sides and middle. You will need to start by touching the tip to the bottom of the front teeth. Try to keep the sides at the top of your mouth. You may need to press the sides against the top of your mouth to keep the shape. If any part of your tongue is touching the bottom of your front teeth or any teeth try to pull your tongue back.
Hold your tongue's tip to your front teeth while you do this. This, in and of itself, will help you differentiate the muscles in your tongue i. Lick the back of your two front teeth. Do this only with the tip of your tongue. Do this without moving the sides of your tongue.
Do not let them slide back in your mouth. If they move, start over. You will know you have successfully accomplished this when your tongue folds onto itself in the middle. This will be the hardest part and take the longest to practice and perfect.
If you are going to get stuck, this is where it will happen. If not, try the method again until you can end with a rolling R. Consider the Vision Dream Method.
Follow these steps: Take a deep breath. At this point you should be quite loud. Let this happen and keep your tongue relaxed. Is it possible for a person to be unable to roll his R's, even if his first language requires him to do so? Yes, it is entirely possible! Even if everyone else in your family can roll their R's, it's possible for you to be unable to do so. Not Helpful 60 Helpful Does having large gaps between the front four teeth have any effect on rolling Rs?
It can make the sound a bit more awkward, but I also have large gaps in my teeth, and I'm able to trill my Rs enough that people can understand. It may not be perfect, but it is possible. Not Helpful 14 Helpful Practice tongue twisters, this will make your tongue used to moving quickly. The more you practice the same one, the looser your tongue will get, and soon you will roll your R's!
Not Helpful 15 Helpful I have watched videos and I have been doing exercises. I even talked with someone who can roll their Rs, but I can't. What can I do? Do not give up. The practice creates muscle memory.
Not Helpful 21 Helpful It's not impossible, but it may be harder for some people. It just takes time and practice.
Not Helpful 54 Helpful I personally learned to roll my Rs by learning and singing Spanish songs La Llorona is the best, in my opinion. Since singing comes naturally to me, I mainly listened to the singer and started to copy it. Eventually, as you learn the song, you won't be as tense, allowing you to roll your Rs. Not Helpful 19 Helpful If you can do an uvular trill, it can pass as an alveolar trill - but I suggest you learn an alveolar trill.
Not Helpful 27 Helpful How long should it take me to learn to do this? Is it possible that I will never be able to roll my r's? The more you practice, the quicker it should become natural. Not Helpful 55 Helpful The tutorial keeps saying that something should vibrate, but nothing is vibrating.
Am I doing something wrong? This is possible if there is too much space between the roof of your mouth and your tongue, or not enough air is being used when you attempt to trill be sure to take a very deep breath when you are learning to trill.
It's also possible that tongue is not vibrating because it is not relaxed enough. The tongue needs to be very relaxed in order to move along with any vibrations being made. Not Helpful 8 Helpful I've watched a bunch of videos, read a couple of language books, and I keep trying and practicing to roll my r's, but I still haven't been able to. Am I ever going to learn?
Yes, you just have to find a method that'll work for you! Try asking a person you know that speaks Spanish fluently to listen to you and coach you. Since they're face-to-face, they can see how you're trying to roll your r's and they can clearly hear if you are doing it right. Oftentimes the best practice comes from talking with other people.

In general the sound of a rolling R is similar in many languages Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, etc. The key is being able to roll an R successfully, on its own. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0. The rolling R sound is not an easy sound to produce. It may not come to you quickly or easily. You will likely have to practice several times a day for weeks before you successfully roll an R without thinking about it.
