This will indicate to you where to place
the tongue. Now pronounce the following Spanish words containing
r. Make sure your tongue flips against the gum ridge behind
your upper front teeth:
- bandera, bolígrafo, libro, profesor, puerta, América, pero, triste
TRILL:
A single R at the beginning of a word in a breath group
and a single R that follows a consonante, usually l,
n, or s, is trilled. The trill is like the tap, except
that is multiple. Just place the tip of your tongue on the alveolar
ridge as you did for the R sound of the previous words, and let
it vibrate strongly.
- revista,
religión,
regular, Enrique , alrededor, ratón
The RR is considered to be one letter
in Spanish and is pronounced like the single trill R. Remember
that the tongue flips against the gum ridge three or four
times.
- pizarra, borrador, Monterrey, guitarra, correcto, zorro
