Note:
It is not genetic. Anyone can roll their R's if they try.
It's not hard to do. It may seem difficult but with practise you can do it.
Some tips:
- You may have to just put your tongue right at the roof of the mouth and blow out really hard until you get a trilled R sound.
- Say Zzz in the word pleasure. After a while, your tongue may vibrate faster. It should feel funny. :P
- Take a deep breathe, you shouldn't stress if you don't get it. It took me three to four days until I could finally roll my r's
1. Say Tee dee va over and over again. Say it slowly then faster. Do it for 30 minutes or longer. You may do it all day or over a few days. Saying tee dee va is to loosen your tongue. You need a loose tongue to roll your r's.
2. Does your tongue feel loose? Put your tongue to the top roof of your mouth, behind your front teeth. Okay, relax and relax the tip of your tongue.
3. Breathe out, you may have to breathe out really hard or to change the position. An idea, would be pretending you're blowing out candles.
4. After a few goes, you may hear a sss sound. This is a start. When I first tried, the sss sound came out. You need practise and do it over a few days. You will be get a trilled R but you need to be patient. It might help to say the Zh sound in pleasure. Then say it faster.
5. Keep practising and you will finally get it.
